Category

Optionally assign shortkeys to categories based on personal preference. The categories provide a simple way to find macros after they have been created. A shortkey may only be assigned to one category.

When the program is first installed, there are two default categories - All Categories and Unassigned.
 

•The default categories may not be changed, but new categories may be added, or later deleted or renamed.

•All Categories displays every shortkey in the file.

•The Unassigned category displays all shortkeys not assigned to a category other than the default All Categories.

New Category

Create a new category using the menu option or right click on a file listed in the ShortKeys window and select the New Category option.

Enter the name of the new category into the Name field and select where it should appear in the hierarchy, such as a top-level or sub-category of an existing one.

 
ShortKeys Menu > Category > New Category

 
Rename Category

Highlight the category and click on the Category > Rename Category menu option or right click on a category from the ShortKeys window and select the Rename Category option.

Type the new category name to replace the old and click OK to save.
 

ShortKeys Menu > Category > Rename Category

Delete Category

Highlight the name of the category to remove and click on Category > Delete Category or right click on the category and select Delete Category from the menu.
 

•A warning message appears verifying that the deletion should continue.

•Click Yes to delete the category and any or all of it's sub-categories.

•Any shortkeys found in the deleted category are reassigned to the Unassigned category.

Placing Macros in Categories

To place shortkey macros in a specific category, drag the shortkey from the list of macros to the desired category.
 

•Highlight the macro, hold down the left mouse button and move the pointer to the category wanted.

•When the mouse is pointing to the correct category, release the left mouse button.

•The shortkey macro is now assigned to that category.

To speed the process, highlight a block of macros and move them all at once to the category of choice.
 

üNote: The categories selected are specific to the shortkey (.shk) file that is currently open. When opening a new shortkey file, the categories created for the new file are displayed. If more than one file is open, multiple sets of categories are displayed, one set for each shortkey file.
