Let's take a look at shortcuts. Now, what we're going to do here is a little similar to what we did in the previous menus, but we're just going to do it with shortcuts. If you pull down any of these menus here, you can see that there are a number of shortcuts. To pull up character, paragraph, you can see all these shortcuts here. Shift-F11, F11, alt-shift-F11. Now, of course, on a Mac that's going to be option-shift-F11. So these will change from Mac to PC, but they're pretty self-explanatory what they are, so you should be able to work out what I'm doing and just translate it very simply. Let's go over to the edit menu. Here's some what we know very well: copy, ctrl- or command-C; paste, ctrl- or command-V. Now, they've got a number of shortcuts here, but maybe you're familiar with some shortcuts with other programs and you want to change InDesign so that when you do that shortcut for opening a new document or something like that, you can use the same ones. Save you relearning everything. To change this, we go to the edit menu and go to keyboard shortcuts. Here we can change absolutely everything to a shortcut. Add shortcuts, delete shortcuts, change shortcuts. Here we have a number of sets. You can go shortcuts for PageMaker if you're upgrading from PageMaker, or if you're upgrading from Quark, although it only has version 4 here at the moment (Quark is at 7 at the moment), you can choose those shortcuts and integrate those into InDesign. You're probably better off getting used to the InDesign ones, even if you are upgrading, because you're going to be using this for a long time. So how do we do this? Let's take a look at something we can do here. Let's go to the view menu. Here we have edit, file, help, layout, all the menus that we're using. I'm going to choose the view menu. That's this guy over here, where my mouse is hovering. Here when you click on one, actual size, you can see ctrl-, or command on a Mac, plus 1. That's the shortcut. Entire pasteboard, ctrl-shift-alt-0, command-shift-option-0. So if you go through, it tells you what the shortcuts are, but if you want to change them, you can just come in and click on one of them and zoom in, zoom out. Here's the ones they have. Now, I'm just going to remove this one and it forces me to create a new set. I'm just going to call this one VTC for this purpose. Now the set is VTC. We can always go back to the default. We'll select this one and remove it and we'll create a new shortcut. I'm just going to go with the letter Q, like that. It's currently unassigned. If I had hit something like A, you notice that the direct selection tool already has this and I would have to overwrite this, but I don't want to overwrite one, so I'll just hit Q, like this and then I hit assign. Click on OK. Now when I hit Q, I zoom in like that. Of course, I've no zoom out, so let me go back there and choose keyboard shortcuts and go back to our view menu, scroll down to the bottom, zoom out. I'm going to remove these ones. Remove, there we go. Down here, I'm going to hit ctrl- or command-Q and it's currently assigned the exit. I don't use that one, so I'll just hit assign. We want that one, so it's removed it from the previous one, so if I hit ctrl-Q, I move out; Q, I move in; and this one I find very easy to use, so I will do it. Again, if we go back into this menu, this is the name of this one. If I want to go back to my default, just click on OK and now ctrl-Q exits the program. I'm just going to cancel that there. So that makes assigning your shortcuts very easy and you can just customize it to your own taste. It really is great and very powerful.
