XTM Cloud 13.8

Shortcut settings in XTM Workbench

The shortcuts are browser-specific, so any changes to the shortcuts are only available in the browser in which they have been set. Other browsers will keep the previous shortcut settings.

Important

The default Mac shortcuts only apply when XTM Cloud is viewed in Safari. There may be changes to the shortcuts if other supported browsers are used.

Note

The default shortcut for opening the XTM Workbench Find and replace popup is Ctrl + F. So, the browser search option is by default blocked in XTM Workbench window or tab.

If you want to use Ctrl + F keystroke for opening the browser search option, ensure NOT to set this keystroke for any of the XTM Workbench shortcut.
