Hotkeys allow you to control recording process using keyboard shortcuts when Screenbits is minimized or not in foreground. This helps you use Screenbits without having its user interface included in the recorded video.
Default hotkeys for recording actions are defined in the following table:
| Action | Default Hotkey | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Record/Stop | F10 | Starts recording or stops it if it's already started. |
| Pause/Resume | Shift+F10 | Paused recording or resumes it if it's already paused. |
| Selector | (none) | Opens the all-in-one selector to select a region from the screen. |
