Keyboard Shortcuts
Table of Contents
Starting with Ventuz Director V4.05, keyboard shortcuts can be customized by the user. The short cut manager can be found in the main menu under Tools / Shortcuts. The shortcut layout is stored in the user settings on a machine. To transfer a layout to other users and/or machines, use the export and import buttons.
