Note 1: Keep in mind that the factory default menu layout cannot be

overwritten. If you want to change this layout, save your changes under a

new layout name.

Note 2: If you change your menu layout so much that you can’t find some

commands, you can always load the factory default menu layout.

Altering your menus may affect your menus’ hotkeys, which allow you to

navigate through the application’s menus without using a mouse. You can

view the hotkeys in your menus by pressing Alt and observing the

underlined letters. Pressing the underlined letter on your keyboard will

launch that menu command. In order to ensure you have no duplicates

hotkeys in your customized menu, do the following.

1. Launch the Menu Editor and select the menu or submenu you wish to

hotkeys are found, or if a command has no hotkey at all.
