Replace/customize keyboard shortcut?

eosrose · 11-07-2011, 02:52 PM

I'm currently going through and tweaking the metadata of a bunch of individual records, which means I need you use the little next arrow. When I mouse over the arrow, I'm told that the keyboard shortcut is Alt + Right, which would be fine if I didn't have such tiny hands.

I can't easily hit both those keys on my keyboard with one hand. I'd like to be able to change the shortcut, but I'm not sure where I can do that. I went to the Keyboard menu under preferences, but this doesn't seem to be one of the options available for customization...

This one cannot be customized. Note there is an Alt key on the right side of the keyboard as well (at least on most keyboards)

I've been using that particular alt key, it's still uncomfortable for me. Thanks though. It's good to know I wasn't just missing something.
