## Shortcuts Tab

Password Safe allows you to define key sequences (shortcuts) that perform specific operations in the application. This tab allows you to control and review the shortcuts, as follows.

### Application Hot Key

When checked, pressing the keys in the sequence to the right will restore Password Safe from the system tray, if minimized, or bring it to the front, if obscured by other applications. The sequence may be changed when the option is checked.

### Program Shortcuts

To change a shortcut (or add a new one), select the row with the action you'd like to change, then click on the 'Shortcut Key' field fo that entry. Any key combination that you select will be defined as the shortcut for this action. For example, to get the File Properties dialog box to appear when Control, Alt and 'p' are pressed, select the "File >> Properties" row, click on the 'Shortcut Key' field, and then press the Control Alt and p key. The text 'Ctrl+Alt+P' will appear in the Shortcut Key field, and once you press OK, the change will take effect. For more details on the keys that can (and cannot) be defined as shortcuts, see here.

Note that you can define shortcuts where there currently are none, as well as replacing the defaults with those of your choosing. The shortcuts will be stored in your preference file, and will be available the next time you start Password Safe.

If you decide to remove a shortcut or revert to the default shortcut for a given action, just select the desired 'Shortcut Key' field and right-click. A popup menu will appear, allowing you to do so. To revert all shortcuts to their default values, click on 'Reset All Program Shortcuts'.

### Database Entry Shortcuts

This table summarizes the shortcuts that are associated with specific entries in the currently opened database. Entry-specifc shortcuts are defined in the entry's Additional tab. To edit an entry-specific shortcut, double-click on the desired row. This will display the corresponding entry's Edit dialog box.
