Keyboard shortcuts

Ots Studio supports keyboard shortcuts throughout the entire application. See below for details on each shortcut key. There are Alt-key combinations that work for most controls in the Ots Studio's dialog boxes via the menus. These can be identified by pressing Alt, and seeing which letter is underlined.

You should spend a little bit of time learning some of the common shortcuts, as this will save you a lot of time while editing in Ots Studio.
