Shortcut Keys and Hot Keys
Shortcut Keys and Hot Keys allow you to use the keyboard to quickly access features. The difference between the two is simply that the shortcut keys are related to a specific window and will only work in that window while the hot keys will perform at most any time. See Keyboard Application Settings for more information on how you can customize the Shortcut and Hot Key combinations for various functions in RISA-3D.
