<para>This command opens a dialog box whereby the <link linkend="sect1-using-ktikz-keybindings">shortcuts</link> may be changed. A display window shows the list of commands (actions) and their assigned shortcuts, alternates and global shortcuts. The <guilabel>Search</guilabel> line above the list window is used to filter the shortcut list. Selecting an action with a &LMB; click (either on the action name or shortcut cell for the default shortcut or on the alternate cell for an alternative) displays the <guilabel>Default</guilabel> and <guilabel>Custom</guilabel> radio buttons below the selected action.</para>
<para>To assign or change a shortcut click on the <guilabel>None</guilabel> button. Its label changes then to <guilabel>Input</guilabel>, now press the new key combination for the action.</para>
<para>For example, with the <guilabel>About &kde;</guilabel> action selected in the display window, press the &Ctrl;, &Alt; and the <keycap>K</keycap> key on the keyboard. This would mean that anytime you hold down the &Ctrl; and &Alt; buttons and pressed <keycap>K</keycap> (while using &kappname;) the <guilabel>About &kde;</guilabel> display box would be called.</para>
<para>Use the buttons at the bottom of the dialog to set all shortcuts back to their defaults, print the shortcut list or cancel all changes. Click the <guilabel>OK</guilabel> button to close the dialog and accept all changes.</para>

<para>This will open the dialog whereby the toolbar configuration may be changed. The user can choose which shortcut buttons should appear on the toolbar. A display window on the left lists the commands available to placed on the toolbar. A display on the right lists those commands already on the toolbar. A set of four arrow buttons between the two displays manipulates the selections. The right pointing arrow places any command selected in the left pane onto the right pane, <abbrev>i.e.</abbrev>, it is added to the toolbar. The left arrow does just the opposite, removing any action selected in the right window from the toolbar. The up and down pointing arrows change the position of an action selected in the right window which changes the position of its button in the toolbar.</para>
