Chapter 16: Keyboard shortcuts
Keyboard shortcuts make you more productive in Illustrator. You can use the default shortcuts included with
Illustrator, or add and customize shortcuts to suit your needs.
Customizing keyboard shortcuts
Customize keyboard shortcuts
Illustrator lets you view a list of all shortcuts, and edit or create shortcuts. The Keyboard Shortcuts dialog box serves
as a shortcut editor, and includes all commands that support shortcuts, some of which aren’t addressed in the default
shortcut set.
You can define your own sets of shortcuts, change individual shortcuts within a set, and switch between sets of shortcuts.
For example, you can create separate sets for different workspaces chosen from the Window
> Workspace menu.
In addition to using keyboard shortcuts, you can access many commands using context-sensitive menus. Context-
sensitive menus display commands that are relevant to the active tool, selection, or panel. To display a context-
sensitive menu, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac
OS) in the document window or panel.
1 Choose Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts.
2 Choose a set of shortcuts from the Set menu at the top of the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog box.
3 Choose a shortcut type (Menu Commands or Tools) from the menu above the shortcut display.
4 Do any of the following:
• To activate the set of shortcuts, click OK.
• To change a shortcut, click in the Shortcut column of the scroll list and type a new shortcut. If you enter a shortcut
that is already assigned to another command or tool, an alert appears at the bottom of the dialog box. Click Undo
to undo the change, or click Go To to go to the other command or tool and assign it a new shortcut. In the Symbol
column, type the symbol that will appear in the menu or tool tip for the command or tool. You can use any of the
characters that are allowed in the Shortcut column.
Note: Mac OS does not allow you to assign Command+Option+8 as a menu shortcut.
• To save changes to the current set of shortcuts, click OK. (You can’t save changes to the set named Illustrator
Defaults.)
• To save a new set of shortcuts, click Save. Enter a name for the new set, and click OK. The new key set will appear
in the pop-up menu under the new name.
• To delete the set of shortcuts, click Delete. (You can’t delete the set named Illustrator Defaults.)
• To export the displayed set of shortcuts into a text file, click Export Text. In the Save Key Set File As dialog box,
enter a filename for the current key set that you are saving, and click Save. You can use this text file to print out a
copy of your keyboard shortcuts.
