Import and Export Hotkeys
Use the Import Hotkeys and Export Hotkeys options in the Tools menu to import and export hotkey configuration
(*.HKX) files.

Import Hotkeys - This option allows you to import a (previously exported) hotkey configuration (*.HKX)
file. Before you can select an HKX file, the programs alerts you that the imported file will overwrite the
current keyboard hotkey settings. Click
OK to access the Open dialog, where you can locate and select the
desired HKX file.

Export Hotkeys - This option allows you to export the current keyboard hotkey configuration settings as a
*.HKX file. The application will prompt you specify a filename (in the
Save As
dialog). This file can then be
imported, in which case the hotkey settings saved in the HKX file will overwrite the current hotkey
configuration.
Import and Export Preferences
Use the
Import Preferences
and
Export Preferences
options in the Tools menu to import and export Export Preference
(*.EPX) files.

Import Preferences
- This option allows you to import a (previously exported) program preferences
configuration (*.epx file. Before you can select an EPX file, the programs alerts you that the imported file
will overwrite the current program preferences settings. Click
OK
to access the
Open
dialog, where you can
locate and select the desired EPX file.

Export Preferences
- Select
Tools > Export Preferences
to open the
Export Preferences
dialog (FIG. 282).
The options in this dialog allow you to export the current Editor preferences (as defined in the Preferences dialog) as an
*.epx file, which can later be imported back into NetLinx Studio (via the Tools > Import Editor Preferences option).
Use the options on the Keyboard tab of the Customize dialog to set custom keyboard
accelerators (shortcut keys/key combinations) for often-used commands. See the
Customize dialog - Keyboard tab
section on page 214 for details.
