About Keyboard Shortcuts
About Keyboard Shortcuts

Harmony uses keyboard shortcuts to allow you to quickly use commands you are familiar with without having
to browse through menus and toolbars. Learning the keyboard shortcuts for the commands you use the most
often can be a great way to increase your productivity with Harmony.
Using the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog, you can:
l Check which keyboard shortcuts are assigned to which commands
l Search through commands and keyboard shortcuts
l Customize existing keyboard shortcuts
l Assign keyboard shortcuts to commands that don't have any
l Save keyboard shortcuts as presets
l Switch between keyboard shortcut presets
l Export and import keyboard shortcut configurations

Accessing the Keyboard Shortcuts Dialog
Accessing the Keyboard Shortcuts Dialog

You can access the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog from the Edit menu on Windows and GNU/Linux, or from the
Harmony Premium menu on macOS. The Keyboard Shortcuts menu item is just below the Preferences menu
item.
How to open the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog box
1. Do one of the following:
l Windows or GNU/Linux: In the top menu, select Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts.
l macOS: In the top menu, select Harmony Premium > Keyboard Shortcuts.

7
About Keyboard Shortcut Sets

Harmony comes preloaded with different sets of keyboard shortcut configurations:
l Toon Boom Harmony: The default keyboard shortcuts for Harmony. When the Harmony
documentation refers to a specific keyboard shortcut, it refers to the keyboard shortcuts in this preset.
l Adobe Flash: A preset that likens the default keyboard shortcut configuration in the Adobe Animate
software.
l Toon Boom Studio: A preset that likens the default keyboard shortcut configuration for Toon Boom
Studio, a legacy Toon Boom software.
You can quickly switch between keyboard shortcut sets in the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog. You can also create
your own keyboard shortcut sets. Keyboard shortcut sets can be saved directly to your preferences, along with
the shortcut presets that are preloaded in Harmony. They can also be exported as XML files and imported later
or shared with other users.
8
Switching Between Shortcut Sets

You can instantly switch from one keyboard shortcut set to another in the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog.
NOTE
Switching to a different keyboard shortcut set will not discard your current keyboard shortcut
configuration. Your keyboard shortcut configuration is saved to the currently selected keyboard
shortcut set. Hence, you can return to your old configuration simply by switching back to the
previously used keyboard shortcut set.
How to switch between keyboard shortcut sets
1. Do one of the following to open the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog:
2. In the top-left corner of the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog, open the Keyboard Shortcuts: drop-down
and select the preset you want to use.
3. Click on OK.

of the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog.
How to create a keyboard shortcut set

want them in your preset.
3. Near the top of the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog, click on the New button.
4. In the Keyboard Shortcut Set dialog, type in a name for your keyboard shortcut preset.
5. Click OK.
The keyboard shortcut set is now in the Keyboard Shortcuts: drop-down. Selecting it will load the
keyboard shortcuts configuration you had when you created it.
10
Deleting a Keyboard Shortcut Set

You can delete a custom keyboard shortcut set from the Keyboard Shortcuts: drop-down in the Keyboard
Shortcuts dialog.
NOTE
You can only delete custom keyboard shortcut sets that you created or imported. You cannot delete
the keyboard shortcut sets that are preloaded with Harmony.
How to delete a keyboard shortcut set
2. In the Keyboard Shortcuts: drop-down, select the keyboard shortcut set that you want to delete.
3. At the right of the Keyboard Shortcuts: drop-down, click on the Delete button.

The selected keyboard shortcut set is removed from the Keyboard Shortcuts: drop-down.
11
Exporting Keyboard Shortcuts

You can export your current keyboard shortcut configuration into an XML file. You can reimport this file later to
restore your configuration, or share it with project collaborators so that you all use the same keyboard
shortcuts.
NOTE
When you export your keyboard shortcuts configuration, only the currently selected keyboard
shortcuts set is exported.
How to export your keyboard shortcut configuration
2. In the Keyboard Shortcuts: drop-down, make sure the keyboard shortcut set you want to export is
selected.

Searching for Keyboard Shortcuts
Searching for Keyboard Shortcuts

Harmony has a very extensive list of commands that can be assigned to keyboard shortcuts. Using the Search
bar in the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog, you can:
l Search for a command, and its keyboard shortcut, by typing part or all of its name.
l Search for a command by typing part or all of its currently assigned keyboard shortcut.
How to search for a keyboard shortcut
1. Below the Search field, select the type of search you want to perform:
l Name: To search a command by typing part or all of its name.
l Shortcut: To search a command by typing part or all of its currently assigned keyboard
shortcut.
2. In the Search field, type in either part of the name of the command you want to find, or part of its
currently assigned keyboard shortcut, depending on which option you chose in the previous step.
14
NOTES
l When searching for a command by its keyboard shortcut, if the keyboard shortcut is
a combination, make sure that:
l Modifier keys (Ctrl, Alt and Shift) are typed before other keys.
l Join the keys by a + sign, with no space around it.
For example, to search for the Copy command, type Ctrl+C.
l On macOS, modifier keys such as Command (⌘ ), Control ( ), Alt ( ) and Shift (⇧ )
are represented by specific symbols that cannot be typed with a standard keyboard.
You can copy and paste them from this document into the search field if you are
reading this on a computer.
Harmony will immediately select the first command in the list that matches your search query.
3. If your query matches several commands in the list, uses the Previous and Next button right
of the Search field to navigate between matching commands.
15
Customizing Keyboard Shortcuts
Customizing Keyboard Shortcuts

You can create your own keyboard shortcut for a tool or command, by assigning it to a certain key or
combination of keys.
How to customize a keyboard shortcut
2. In the list of commands and shortcuts to the left, locate and select the command for which you want
to assign a keyboard shortcut—see Searching for Keyboard Shortcuts.
The description of the selected command, as well as its currently assigned shortcut, appear in the
right pane.
3. Do one of the following:
l If you want to assign a custom shortcut to the selected command, click inside the box just
right of Press Shortcut Key:.
l If you want the selected command to have no keyboard shortcut, click on Clear.
l If you want the selected command to be assigned to its default keyboard shortcut, click on
Default.
4. If you are assigning a custom keyboard shortcut to the selected command, using your keyboard,
type in the keyboard shortcut you want to use in the Press Shortcut Key: field.
5. If the keyboard shortcut you typed in is already in use by another command, a dialog box will
prompt you to decide what to do.
16
If this occurs, choose one the following options depending on what suits your case better:
l Replace: This will unassign the keyboard shortcut from the commands listed in the dialog
box, and assign it to the selected command.
l Duplicate: Assigns the keyboard shortcut to the selected command, and lets other
commands use the same keyboard shortcut.
IMPORTANT
Having several commands share the same keyboard shortcut could cause
undesired behaviour.
l Cancel: Allows you to attempt assigning a different keyboard shortcut to the selcted
command.
17
Resetting Keyboard Shortcuts
Resetting Keyboard Shortcuts

You can reset the configuration of your keyboard shortcuts to the default values for the selected keyboard
shortcut set.

restore to its default configuration is selected.
3. In the bottom-left corner of the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog, click on Restore All Defaults.
