Custom hotkeys
In order to assign a hotkey for an action:
- Select Settings from Menu to open Settings.
- Click Hotkeys from the side bar to open Hotkeys settings.
- Click on one of of the text boxes to enter a shortcut for an action.
- Hold the desired keys down on your keyboard so the combination appear in the box.
Notes:
- Not all the key combinations are valid for a hotkey. You need to enter a valid key combination for each action to work.
- Another application might have already registered a hotkey which makes it unusable for Screenbits.
- Use delete (Del) key to clear a hotkey for an action.
