Hi Mark, The soft key assignments are located in a file under your $HOME\cdssetup\concept\concepthdl_key.txt file. The reason we don't allow just typing a character from the keyboard is that these characters are interpreted in the console window as commands. So, we require a CTRL and/or ALT prefix, or you can define the Function keys.

Hi all, Can anyone tell me if there is a way to define hot keys inDesign Entry HDL (CONCEPT) but NOT have to use (ctrl) key? II want to define hot keys, but being forced to include ctrl key is very cumbersome. i.e. I = Zoom In O=Zoom Out W=Zoom Wide R=Rotate M=Move Also, where are these settings stored? I do not see them in my cpm file. Regards, Mark
