Quickly access popular functions with these keyboard accelerators

Settings > Hotkeys

Open Settings to the Hotkeys tab. By popular request from professional translators and busy professionals, keyboard shortcuts may now be selectively enabled/disabled. Keyboard accelerators provide immediate access to popular functions--without moving your hands away from the keyboard.

Tip: Why would you disable a hotkey? Some applications may use the same keystroke combination. To quickly disable all hotkeys, un-check the first item: Hotkeys.
