Edit keyboard shortcuts in MainStage
You can quickly and easily customize keyboard shortcuts in the Key Commands Editor. If
you want to add a few custom commands to the default set, you can duplicate the default
set and assign keyboard shortcuts to some of the unassigned commands. You can also
create a new set that contains only your keyboard shortcuts.
Duplicate a command set
1. Choose MainStage > Key Commands > Customize (or press Option-K).
2. If the command set that you want to duplicate is not shown, choose a different
command set from the Command Set pop-up menu in the upper-left corner of the Key
Commands Editor.
3. Choose Duplicate from the pop-up menu.
4. In the dialog that appears, type a name for the command set, then click OK.
The duplicate set is added to the list of command sets.
Edit a command set
You can add keyboard shortcuts to a command set or reassign keyboard shortcuts.
1. Choose MainStage > Key Commands > Customize (or press Option-K).
2. If the command set that you want to modify is not shown, choose a different command
set from the Command Set pop-up menu at the top of the Key Commands Editor.
3. Select the command to which you want to assign a new key command by doing one of
the following:
• Type a command name in the search field in the upper-right corner of the Key
Commands Editor window.
• Browse the command list to find the command you want.
4. Press the combination of keys you want to use for the command.
Note: Keys on the Key Commands Editor virtual keyboard that are shaded with diagonal
lines are reserved for system use and cannot be assigned.
If the key combination is not already assigned to a command, the virtual keyboard
updates to show the new key command. A gray dot appears on a newly assigned key (or
keys), and a color is applied if the command belongs to a color-coded Command group.
If the key combination is already assigned to a command, MainStage displays the
current setting, and prompts you to confirm the change.
