: Delete the assigned shortcut keys.

: Reset the shortcut keys to the defaults.

Note
When assigning a shortcut key, the use of a single character or in combination with the [Alt] key may not operate properly depending on the working circumstances. It is thus recommended that combinations be used in conjunction with [Ctrl], [Shift], [Ctrl]+[Alt], [Ctrl]+[Shift], etc. The numbers on the Numerical Pad to the right side of the keyboard are recognized as different characters rather than general numbers. The registered (customized) shortcut keys may not operate properly if they conflict with those of the operating system.

Note
When Shortcut Keys are set up, the stored shortcut key information will be maintained even after the program is reinstalled.
