A shortcut is a series of one or several keys that invoke the software to perform a pre-programmed action.
In grandMA3, we differentiate between the term key and button.
A key is a (hard) key on the console or on the (integrated) keyboard.
A button is an element in the User Interface.
The keys F9, F10, F11, Pause and Print Screen provide system-wide shortcuts on all operating systems always available in all contexts as long as the program is running. These shortcuts cannot be edited.
The following shortcuts are available on all OS through several input methods:
Desk lock:
