Shortcuts Tab

Shortcuts tab

The Shortcuts Tab allows you to modify the default keyboard shortcuts (also known as accelerators) for the various actions defined in Password Safe. To change a shortcut (or add a new one), select the row with the action you'd like to change, then click on the 'Shortcut Key' field fo that entry. Any key combination that you select will be defined as the shortcut for this action. For example, to get the File Properties dialog box to appear when Control, Alt and 'p' are pressed, select the "File >> Properties" row, click on the 'Shortcut Key' field, and then press the Control Alt and p key. The text 'Ctrl+Alt+P' will appear in the Shortcut Key field, and once you press OK, the change will take effect. For more details on the keys that can (and cannot) be defined as shortcuts, see here.

Note that you can define shortcuts where there currently are none, as well as replacing the defaults with those of your choosing. The shortcuts will be stored in your preference file, and will be available the next time you start Password Safe.

If you decide to remove a shortcut or revert to the default shortcut for a given action, just select the desired 'Shortcut Key' field and right-click. A popup menu will appear, allowing you to do so. To revert all shortcutsto their default values, click on 'Reset All'.
