This is the list of keyboard shortcuts available by default upon installation. You can customize them as desired to meet your design needs.
We do recommend, however, not using the Shift+Letter combination, as this may be interpreted as a capital letter in different parts of the interface, such as the Property Grid or the Components window.
The red text refers to shortcuts that cannot be changed, as they are used by the Application.
