The purpose of this dialog box is to create your own shortcut keys, edit existing shortcuts, or select a predetermined set of shortcuts.
Current Set allows you to choose a set of predetermined shortcuts included with Dreamweaver, or any custom set youve defined. The predetermined sets are listed at the top of the menu. For example, if you are familiar with the shortcuts found in HomeSite or BBEdit, you can use those shortcuts by choosing the corresponding predetermined set.
Commands allows you to select a category of commands to edit. For example, you can edit menu commands, such as the Open command, or code editing commands, such as Balance Braces.

The command list displays the commands associated with the category you selected from the Commands pop-up menu, along with the assigned shortcuts. The Menu Commands category displays this list as a tree view that replicates the structure of the menus. The other categories list the commands by name (such as Quit Application), in a flat list.
Shortcuts displays all shortcuts assigned to the selected command.
Add Item (+) adds a new shortcut to the current command. Click this button to add a new blank line to the Shortcuts text box. Enter a new key combination and click Change to add a new keyboard shortcut for this command. You can assign two different keyboard shortcuts for each command; if there are already two shortcuts assigned to a command, the Add Item button does nothing.
Remove Item (-) removes the selected shortcut from the list of shortcuts.
Press Key displays the key combination you enter when youre adding or changing a shortcut.
Change adds the key combination shown in the Press Key text box to the list of shortcuts, or changes the selected shortcut to the specified key combination.
Duplicate duplicates the current set. Give the new set a name; the default name is the current sets name with the word copy appended.
Rename renames the current set.
Save as HTML File saves the current set in an HTML table format for easy viewing and printing. You can open the HTML file in your browser and print the shortcuts for easy reference.
Delete deletes a set. (You cannot delete the active set.)
