    You can define keyboard shortcuts for up to twenty external tools. External tools are listed as External Command 1-20 in the Command names list. The numbers correspond to the number to the left of the custom external command name on the Tools menu. If the menu command already has a shortcut assigned to it, that information appears in the Shortcuts for selected command list.

  5. Put the cursor in the Press shortcut keys box, and then press the keys you want to assign to the external tool.

    Poznámka

    If the keyboard shortcut is already assigned to another command, the Shortcut currently assigned to list will display that information.
