## Customize Hotkeys

The hotkey manager enables you to customize hotkeys applied for eXo IDE. If your customized hotkeys are matching with browser hotkeys, only eXo IDE hotkeys work out.

If hotkeys of the browser and of eXo IDE are not overidden, they will work as usual.

To customize your own hotkeys, do as follows:

- Step 1: Go to Window > Customize Hotkeys... on the top menu to open the Customize hotkeys dialog.

To see these hotkeys, scroll down the end of the "Customize hotkeys" window and click the plus icon next to "Editor hotkeys".

- If you still want to bind the hotkeys which are the same as the predefined hotkeys, except those of the "Editor hotkeys" group, first select and unbind the predefined hotkeys.
