Keyboard Shortcuts

Notes:

Mac users please press the CMD key instead of the CTRL key.
There are commands that can display adjustable options in a separate window. These are marked in the menus with a cogwheel. If you want to open the Options window before executing the command, press the SHIFT key in combination with the keyboard shortcut. Example: The Optimize command is executed by pressing U S. Pressing U SHIFT + S will first display the Options window.
