Keyboard Shortcuts
To access the Keyboard Shortcuts configuration menu, select the Keyboard Shortcuts icon on the left of the window in the Config panel.
Keyboard Shortcuts
Keyboard Shortcuts are divided into three sections:
System Shortcuts
System Shortcuts apply operations that are are global to the Viz Arc system, such as Open Project, Save, Undo, Redo, etc. System operations that can be controlled with keyboard shortcuts are listed at the top of the window. It’s possible to change the default shortcut for an existing system action, remove the shortcut, or reset it back to default.
All modified system shortcuts data is stored in the keybinds.json file. For more details, see Files and Folders.
Custom Keyboard Action Shortcuts
Action Shortcuts are used to assign a key or combination of keys to execute actions. This menu contains a list of all actions that have a keyboard shortcut assigned and the action box color for the action.
It's possible to assign keyboard shortcuts to any Action in a project and to assign the same keyboard shortcut to more than one action.
You can add Custom Action Shortcuts directly from this window.
Custom Stream Deck Shortcuts
Custom Stream Deck Shortcuts are used to assign an action (or group) to a specific Stream Deck button (if connected). This menu contains a list of all actions that have a keyboard shortcut assigned and the action box color for the action.
Note: All action shortcuts are stored as part of the project.json file. For more details, see Files and Folders.
