The term “shortcut keys” doesn’t reflect exactly what they do just because the commands assigned to them don’t take place just by pressing them. You first press the appropriate key and then ENTER.
The customization (CUIx) file defines the default shortcut keys. You can use the default shortcut keys as examples when creating your own shortcut keys.
Nov 03, 2011 How do you change/edit command shortcut keys? For example, I would like to change the keyboard shortcut key for the command COPY to 'C' instead of 'CO' and CIRCLE to 'CR' instead of 'C' because I use the COPY command much more than CIRCLE.
