Every KeyCreator program function and feature appears under Buttons. When a category is selected, the function icons in that category appear here. You can drag these icons onto a custom toolbar, or assign shortcut keys and/or mouse buttons to the selected function icons.

Description

The description of the function icon currently selected appears here.

Current Keys

The current key or gesture assignments of the highlighted function are displayed here. This box also displays any key or gesture assignment you create.

Press new shortcut key

Type the key combination you want to assign to the indicated function in this data entry field.

NOTE: You must left-click inside the text field before you can enter your desired shortcut key combination.

When selecting shortcut combinations, you must continue to hold down the keyboard keys.

Once F1 appears after Shift+ in the field, you can release the SHIFT key. When you enter a key combination already assigned to another function, a message appears telling you which function is currently mapped to the key combination. Use Clear Key button to erase an incorrect entry.
