#Customize shortcuts
Every binding above is a default. Open Keyboard Shortcuts (the keyboard icon in the editor toolbar) to remap any command to the keys you prefer.
- 1Search commands by name, or filter to the Custom, Conflicts, or Unassigned groups.
- 2Pick a command and press Record, then hold your modifiers and press the final key.
- 3If the combo is already in use, the editor flags the conflict — choose Overwrite to reassign it, or pick different keys.
- 4Use Unbind to clear a binding, or add an alternate binding alongside the primary one.
