OnCue Hotkeys

OnCue offers a fully customizable set of hotkeys that can be modified from the Preferences window. Simply double-click on the command you would like to change and assign it a new hotkey. Under Options in the lower left corner, click 'Reset to Defaults' to reset all hotkeys to their default values.

A printable version of the Hotkey Reference Guide including your changes can be found inside OnCue under the Help Menu.

Note: All hotkeys below are program defaults. Any hotkey that is blank means that you have the ability to assign a hotkey to that function, but it does not have a hotkey set by default.
