Hotkey Buttons

Assign the second button used by every shortcut. Press A on a shortcut to pick its button from a list, or choose Unbound to switch it off. Choosing a button another shortcut already uses leaves that shortcut unbound until you give it a new button. Press X to reset all shortcut buttons to their defaults.

Quick Tips

  • Fast Forward and Slow Motion cannot remain active at the same time. Starting one stops the other.

  • The glyph rows only control the small on-screen indicators. They do not change the shortcut itself.
