Note

The Hot Keys menu option appears only for users who do not have permission to change their user Preferences. Any user who has permission to change their Preferences will not see the Hot Keys menu option.

The "Hot Keys" screen displays information on all existing Hot Keys, including keystroke and accompanying action.

To the far right of the list, the following buttons are available:

CLOSE
