Fireworks lets you use keyboard shortcuts to select menu commands, select tools from the Tools panel, and speed up miscellaneous tasks that do not exist as menu commands. Using shortcuts increases your productivity by allowing you to perform simple actions quickly. If you are accustomed to using shortcuts from other applications such as FreeHand, Illustrator, Photoshop, or products that use the Adobe standard, you can switch to the shortcut set you prefer.

To change the current shortcut set:

  1. Select Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts (Windows) or Fireworks > Keyboard Shortcuts (Macintosh) to open the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog box.
  2. Select the shortcut set you prefer from the Current Set pop-up menu and click OK.
