How to edit/remap Keyboard Shortcuts?
In this section we will learn to re-map the Keyboard Shortcut for the Next Button and change it from Alt+key to Ctrl+key.

1. Click the re-map icon and then record the change.
2. Enter your keyboard shortcut.
3. Click Save.
Best practices to follow while customizing Keyboard Shortcuts
- Use a unique combination of a modifier(Alt or Shift or Ctrl) and a key (from A to Z). Duplicate combinations are not accepted and warned with an error message as shown below.
- While changing the default keyboard shortcut, shortcuts must follow the combination of Modifier (Alt or Shift or Ctrl)+ [key of your choice from A-Z], except for the Next Button, Play Item, and Cancel Item.
- Next Button, Play Item, and Cancel Item accept both unique combinations as well as the Enter Key* ("Return") or the Esc or the Tab Key as a keyboard shortcut key. This is an update from the 4.11 release.
*Any other key from A-Z cannot be used alone as a Shortcut.
