Set Key Preferences

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.

Note: The Key mapping feature provides the ability to modify key assignments. CA InterTest does not support the functionality of these key mappings.

To modify the preferences for a key sequence

1. Select Window, Preferences.

   The Preferences dialog opens.

2. Expand the General, Editors 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 either the 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. Change the default settings for the following fields 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.

5. Click Apply to save the settings.
6. Click OK.

CA InterTest saves the changes and closes the Preferences dialog. The changes are used in all succeeding debug 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, click Restore Defaults, click Apply, and then click OK.
