Menu Keys

Menu keys are keyboard shortcuts that let you perform actions in GCS more quickly without navigating menus.

• On Windows, shortcuts usually use the Ctrl key (for example, Ctrl+S to save).
• On Mac, the same shortcuts typically use the Command (⌘) key instead (for example, ⌘+S to save).

GCS comes with several shortcuts pre-set for common actions (like copy, paste, or scaling the sheet). You can add new shortcuts or change existing ones to match your preferences.

To open the Menu Keys settings:

• Go to Settings > Menu Keys.

Managing Settings

You can manage Menu Keys settings the same way as other settings:

• Reset settings to defaults: Select Reset .
• Import or export settings: On the Menu Keys toolbar, select Menu , then choose:
  • Import: Load saved settings into GCS.
  • Export: Save your current settings as a file.

Changing a shortcut

To change a shortcut:

1. Go to Settings > Menu Keys.
2. Select the shortcut box next to the action you want to edit.
3. In the pop-up, press the keyboard combination you want to use (for example, Ctrl+S or Cmd+S).
4. Select Set to save your new shortcut.

You can remove a shortcut by clearing the field or reset it by selecting Reset .

Warning

Some shortcuts may conflict with system-level hotkeys (for example, Cmd+Space on macOS opens Spotlight). If a shortcut doesn’t seem to work in GCS, try assigning a different combination that isn’t already reserved by your operating system.

For other settings options, see General Settings.
