NUENDO Key commands 31 – 711 Removing a saved Alternative Key Set •To remove a saved key set, select it in the list and click the “Remove” button (the trash icon) in the Alternative Key Sets section. A dialog appears asking if you want to remove the key set or cancel the operation. Switching between Alternative Key Sets You switch between different key sets in the program by using the key command assigned to the function “Toggle Alternate Key Commands”, located in the “File” subfolder in the Key Commands dialog. The key command for this function is by default [F5], but you can of course change this to any key command that suits you best. Refer to page 699 for instructions on how to change key commands. •When you press the key command for the function, a small pop-up appears, indicating which key set is currently loaded. •Each time you press the key command, you switch to the next avail- able alternative key set.

The default tool modifier keys are listed in the Getting Started book, but you can customize them if needed. This is done in the Preferences dialog: 1.Open the Preferences dialog from the File menu (on the Mac, this is located on the Nuendo menu) and select the Editing – Tool Modifiers page. 2.Select an option in the Categories list, and then locate the action for which you want to edit the modifier key. For example, the “Copy” action mentioned above resides in the category “Drag & Drop”. 3.Select the action in the Action list. 4.Hold down the desired modifier key(s) and click the Assign button. The current modifier key(s) for the action is replaced. If the modifier key(s) you pressed are already assigned to another tool, you will be asked whether you want to overwrite them. If you do, this will leave the other tool without any modifier key(s) assigned. 5.When you’re done, click OK to apply the changes and close the dialog.
