Standard Hotkeys
From MachCustomizeWiki
Functions within Mach 3 can be controlled by keyboard combinations.
These keys are defined in two ways.
- In the Config>System Hotkeys menu.
- In the screenset you have loaded.
For traditional Mach screensets (i.e. .SET, .SSET, .LSET files) you can use the ScreenTweak utility (Rev C1 onwards) to display (and copy via the clipboard to an editor) the codes on a given screen or for the whole screenset.
The utility can be downloaded from here
Usage:
(a) Load a screen set
(b) Click Edit all Controls (or for a single screen select the screen you want to view
in the list and click Control Edit)
(c) Click View Hotkeys
You can cut and paste elsewhere (e.g. Notepad) from the screen if you want a printout.
Note the warning about the labels on non US/UK keybords. The codes are from the physical position of the key not via the codetable.
The table below gives some keys for the Default Screensets provided with Mach 3.
