Customize keyboard shortcuts

Use the Keyboard Shortcuts tab in the Settings panel to add or remove keyboard shortcuts. Keyboard shortcuts can be configured at a site, group, or user-level by the system administrator. Or, if the system administrator has enabled this feature for users, an individual user can configure their own keyboard shortcuts.

View keyboard shortcuts

To see the keyboard shortcut for a specific tool, hover your cursor over the tool on the toolbar. The keyboard shortcut is shown in brackets beside the tool name. To view a complete list of your keyboard shortcuts, do the following:

  1. In the upper-right corner of the viewer, click > List Keyboard / Mouse Shortcuts.

Add, edit, or delete keyboard shortcuts

Note

Clicking Reset will reset all keyboard shortcuts back to the default shortcuts that were set by your system administrator. That is, all of your custom keyboard shortcuts will be reset.

  1. In the upper-right corner of the viewer, click > Keyboard Shortcuts.
  2. To find a tool: 
    • Type a tool name into the Filter field to find a specific tool.
    • Click to sort alphabetically by tool name.
    • Click to sort by keyboard shortcut.
  3. To add or edit a keyboard shortcut, click beside the tool name. Type the key combination you want to use. If the shortcut is already taken, a warning will display in the dialog. Click OK.

    NOTE: The numbers along the upper part of the keyboard and the numbers on the number pad are treated as the same input. For example, if 9 is mapped to the LUNG W / L preset, pressing 9 in either location will apply the LUNG W / L preset.

  4. To remove a keyboard shortcut, click beside the keyboard shortcut.
  5. If you are satisfied with your changes, click Save. To revert any changes you made since your last save, click Cancel.

Restricted shortcuts

There are certain keyboard shortcuts (such as F12 or CTRL+L) that should not be set in eUnity because they are reserved for use by the browser. For more information about keyboard shortcuts used by your browser, see the browser's help documentation.
