Artweaver lets you assign commands to keys on your keyboard. This saves you time by giving you immediate keyboard access to your favorite commands. Along with character, numeric, function, and modifier keys, you can also use Tab, Backspace, Windows, Delete, Insert, Home, End, Page Up, Page Down, Up Arrow, Down Arrow, Left Arrow, Right Arrow, and Spacebar.


You can also create a collection of keyboard shortcuts, or shortcut sets, based on changes to the default shortcut set. For easy reference, you can generate an HTML summary of a shortcut set.

This feature is only available in Plus version.
