All keyboard shortcuts for the Viz Mosart GUI are fully customizable.

Tip: Viz Mosart 5.9 introduces faster, simpler and improved keyboard shortcut management.

  • Try the new web-based shortcuts manager from Tools > Keyboard shortcuts editor web.

    Whilst the process of adding/editing/deleting keyboard button operations is similar in both menus, the improved web-based features are highlighted below.

Working with Keyboard Shortcuts

  • You create or edit a keyboard setup by navigating to Tools > Keyboard shortcuts > Keyboard shortcuts.
    or Tools > Keyboard shortcuts editor web.

  • Several sets of keyboard shortcuts (keyboard layouts) can be stored and recalled from the Keyboard shortcuts menu.

The Keyboard Shortcuts Editor is divided into four areas:

Shortcut List

Having chosen a keyboard layout, the left-side panel lists all the shortcut keys, grouped by

  • Control Command

  • Template

  • Timeline

functionality.

Editor Window

The options available for each shortcut in the editor window are mainly dependent upon the type of shortcut being created or edited.
The four main types of shortcuts are Template keys, Control Command keys, Timeline keys and Layout keys.

Note: From Viz Mosart 4.x, Template Router is the new name for what was Wall Manager.

If there is a shortcut of type AUTO or CONTINUE, it shows how many continue points there are left.

Menu Bar

 
The menu bar at the lower left of the Keyboard shortcuts window is where you create a new keyboard shortcut.

Modifying Keyboard Shortcuts

To Add a New Keyboard shortcut

  1. Select Add new shortcut from the menu bar.
