Open the Key Command Customization tool by selecting Tools > Customize.

Next, select the Keyboard button.

The Customize Keyboard dialog has three main areas which work in concert in setting-up keyboard commands.

1. The top section, Specify a Command, allows for the selection of a command to assign to a key-command shortcut.

2. The center section, Specify a Shortcut, presents a list of possible keys and key combinations to allow for selection.

3. The bottom section, Description, displays a short explanation of what the selected command does within SOAPware.

To assign a key-command shortcut to a SOAPware command:

1. Click a Categories  list item,

2. Click a Commands list item.

NOTE: When browsing commands in the All Commands category, some commands appear to have the same name. If the Description doesn’t help identify the difference between commands, try to find the command in a more specific category.

Once a command is selected, click the specify a Shortcut drop down list to choose a key-command shortcut.

In the example above, it specifies that Pressing the Insert key causes the SOAP Notes chart section to open.

NOTE: If the selected keyboard shortcut is already assigned to another command, SOAPware warns by displaying a message in the Specify a Shortcut field.

Finally, click the Assign button located at the bottom to assign the selected key-command shortcut to the specified SOAPware command.

To remove a previously assigned key-command shortcut from a SOAPware command, click the Category list item, then click the command  list item, and click the specified Shortcut list item to modify. Once the command is selected, click the Remove button located at the bottom. The shortcut will be removed from the selected command.

To reset all keyboard shortcuts to their default commands, Click the Reset All... button located at the bottom. SOAPware asks for confirmation. Click Ok to do so, and all key-command shortcuts will be reset to their defaults.

Once finished  customizing Key Commands, it is necessary to save the changes manually.

To do this, go to Tools > Options > Toolbars, and click Save. You must log out and log back into SOAPware to save the changes.
