Custom Keyboard Shortcuts
You can customize keyboard shortcuts and add your own for menu items that don’t have them yet. To do so:
- Open → System Settings → Keyboard → Keyboard Shortcuts → App Shortcuts.
- Select ＋ and choose iA Presenter.
- In Menu Title, enter the command exactly as it appears in Presenter’s menu, including punctuation.
- Select Keyboard Shortcut and press the desired key combination.
- Click Done.
When successful you’ll see the shortcut added next to the menu item in iA Presenter and you’ll be able to trigger the action with your shortcut.
Note that some key combinations will not work due to being mapped to system functions or other restrictions. If this happens, please repeat the steps above to re-map the menu item to a new key combination.
