Now I don't wanna assign this to my Find Font cause it will strip it away from Print, and because I use that one all the time, I don't wanna get rid of them. So we're just gonna keep keying in until we find one that's unassigned, so if I thought oh maybe Command + P would work, it says oh no that's assigned to Print. For instance your first you know, inclination is to hit Delete to get rid of that F3, well it thinks oh you wanna put in the Delete key and that says that's assigned to Clear, obviously we don't wanna do that. If I type in something else, it's gonna tell me it's assigned to something else. In this case I use the keyboard shortcut F so I just wanna type in F3, and I also wanna make sure that it shows up as unassigned. And then I'm gonna come down here to the New Shortcut and in this field I'm just gonna key in the keyboard shortcut that I want for that.

If it does it means there's already a keyboard shortcut assigned to it, and I'm replacing that, and I may wanna do that sometimes keyboard shortcuts don't make any sense. So I'm just gonna scroll down and I was looking for Find Font, so there's Find Font, I'm gonna select that and come down to the bottom, and I wanna make sure that under Current Shortcuts, it doesn't show anything. So a Type Menu and from here, all of these are in alphabetical order. And the first thing we need to do is we need to figure out where in the application this item lives, and in this case I know it lives in a menu, it lives in the Type Menu, this too that we looked at. But we're gonna make a couple changes, add a couple, and then we're gonna save it and I'm gonna save it back to this other setting that I have, so that I always have my keyboard shortcuts ready to use. So just know your list may look slightly different but you will have default set as a Default. And the newest version of 2018 also has other keyboard shortcuts and I've completely forgotten where they are, I do not have the newest version up and running just yet, but that came out very, very, very recently. I also have a few more that are in here I'm gonna create and you also have, if you're coming from - you won't have this one most likely, that is a, it's a plugin - but if you're coming from QuarkXPress or PageMaker, and these are very old versions but they haven't updated them and I don't think that they will, but if you're coming from these other programs and you wanna sort of ease into InDesign, and the keyboard shortcuts, you can actually map those shortcuts that are there. Under the Edit menu, way back down at the bottom, Keyboard Shortcuts, and by default you have the set called Default. Well I use that all the time and having a keyboard shortcut for that would be super handy, so let's go ahead and set that up. Ted so it's grayed out, but down at the bottom it says Fill with Placeholder Text which just gives us dummy text. Also at Type all the way down at the bottom is Fill with Placeholder Text. Now we don't have anything here so nothing's being used, but that's where I get that information and I'm constantly going to that dialog box. Under the Type menu, you have this option called Find Font, and what that does is it just shows you all the fonts that are used in your document. So up under the Edit, well actually I'm gonna show you a couple that I'm gonna change, two that I use a lot that don't have keyboard shortcuts by default. But there may be items that you use all the time that don't have keyboard shortcuts, or the keyboard shortcuts that you that are assigned don't work for you.

So by default you have a default set of keyboard shortcuts, for instance when I chose Preferences, it says Command or Control + K, so a lot of the different items have keyboard shortcuts next to them. One of the things I talked about was keyboard shortcuts.
