Keyboards shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts that appear in Help or in menus and dialog boxes in M2Assistant are based on the United States keyboard. For example, on a U.S. keyboard, you must hold down the SHIFT key to type the < symbol. For this reason, you press CTRL+SHIFT+< to select a previous item in U.S. Help. On a non-U.S. keyboard, characters may appear somewhere else on the keyboard. For example, on some keyboards, certain characters are accessible without holding down the SHIFT key, in which case, for the example above, you simply press CTRL+<. On other keyboards, characters are accessible by holding down ALTGR, in which case, for the example above, you press CTRL+ALTGR+<.

The following keyboard shortcuts can be used.
