Set Shortcut Key Preferences

To move around the CA InterTest™ main window use keyboard keys or key combinations.

You can modify the default shortcut keys assigned for certain functions in CA InterTest™. The General Preference settings for keys affect the key mapping or binding used to perform various functions in CA InterTest™.

To see the shortcut keys, click Help, Key Assist. The Shortcut Keys window opens on the CA InterTest™ main window.

Key shortcuts that invoke commands or open views are not discussed in this online help. Some of these commands and views exist because of the framework on which the interface was developed, but they do not perform any specific function in the CA InterTest™ application. CA Technologies does not support the use of these key shortcuts.

Follow these steps:

1. Select Window, Preferences.
   The Preferences dialog opens.

2. Expand General and select Keys.
   The Preferences dialog opens the Keys page. This page lists the default key mappings for all commands and functions in CA InterTest™.

3. Select a scheme from the Scheme drop-down list. Choose CA InterTest™, Default, or Emacs scheme.
   The Keys page lists the command key sequences for the selected scheme. A table displays binding, action, and category for each command key sequence.

4. Scroll or type the name of the command key sequence you want to edit.
   The Preview pane shows the details such as name of the selected key sequence, description, binding, event when the selected key works, and conflicts information.

5. Change the default settings for the selected key to suit your needs:

   • Include unbound commands
     Lists the command key sequences that do not contain binding settings.
     Default: Off

   • Copy Command
     Creates a copy of a selected command key sequence in the table.

   • Remove Binding
     Deletes the binding information from a selected command key sequence.

     Note: By default, the table on the Keys page lists only the command key sequences that contain binding settings.

   • Restore Command
     Reloads the default settings for a selected command key sequence, for example binding information and category.

   • Name
     Displays the name of the selected key sequence you want to modify.

   • Binding
     Type the key sequence you want to assign to the function in the Key Sequence, Name field. Click the arrow and select Backspace, Tab, or Shift+Tab to set key combinations for the selected key sequence.

   • When
     Select the action when you want to initiate a selected key sequence from the drop-down list.

   • Advanced
     Lets you specify the filter settings for the command key sequences displayed in the table on the Keys page using the When Context Filters dialog. Click this button to display the When Context Filters dialog. Clear the check boxes corresponding to the filter settings you do not want to use or Click Restore defaults to use all available filter settings. Click OK to close the When Context Filters dialog.

6. Click OK.
   CA InterTest™ saves the changes and closes the Preferences dialog. The changes are used in all succeeding sessions unless you change the preferences again.

   Note: You can restore the default configuration settings anytime on the Preferences dialog. To restore the default settings, navigate to the page you want to restore, click Restore Defaults, and then click OK.
