Keyboard Shortcuts
You can display the Enterprise Architect dialogs, windows and views, or initiate processes, using menu options and Toolbar icons. In many cases, you can also access these facilities by pressing individual keyboard keys or combinations of keys, as shortcuts. This table lists the default keyboard shortcut for each of the functions. You can also display the key combinations on the Help Keyboard dialog.
Access Start Page: Keyboard Accelerators or

Notes
| • | There are additional shortcuts using the keyboard and mouse in combination |
| • | If necessary, you can change the keyboard shortcuts using the Keyboard tab of the Customize dialog |
