Where to change your keyboard shortcuts?
You can find the full list of available shortcuts and customize them in your Application Settings.
Open the Edit menu and select Application Settings
Switch to the Shortcuts tab
Here you will find different sections of Magma with shortcuts that can be changed.
If you change a shortcut to something that already has already been assigned to another function, it will be highlighted in red, indicate that there is a duplicate, and the section where the shortcut appears will also be shown with red text.
You can also view the common shortcuts listed below by opening the Help menu and then selecting Getting Started. Scroll down until you find the keyboard shortcuts section.
