--- title: "Post - Hot keys and shortcuts" canonical: "https://help.vicon.com/space/Shogun16/13341902/Post%20-%20Hot%20keys%20and%20shortcuts" format: markdown --- > ✅ ** Tip** > ✅ To see a list of all current hot keys, on the **General** menu, click **Preferences** and then click the **Hot Keys** tab. > ✅ To create your own hot keys, in the **Command/Script **column, double-click the required command or script and in the **Set Hot Key **dialog box, specify the hot keys. The following topics list commonly used shortcuts and explain working with objects, selection, and the context-sensitive menus. > Macro (scroll-only) > > > Macro (toc) > ⚠️ **Note** > ⚠️ When you install Vicon Post, the latest hot key file (*HotKey.hsl*) is installed in *C:\Program Files\Vicon\ShogunPost1.#\DefaultConfiguration*. > ⚠️ However, the hot key file that Post uses by default is *C:\Users\Public\Documents\Vicon\ShogunPost1.x\HotKey.hsl*. To preserve any hot keys that you may have added, this file isn't modified by installation. The hot key file is only recreated from *\DefaultConfiguration* if one doesn't exist. > ⚠️ So, if you install a later version of Post, which has changes to the default hot key file, you must either delete the file in *C:\Users\Public\Documents\Vicon\ShogunPost1.x* before installing, or copy the file from *C:\Program Files\Vicon\ShogunPost1.#\DefaultConfiguration* over the one in *C:\Users\Public\Documents\Vicon\ShogunPost1.x*. In either case, be sure to save any hot keys that you have added before deleting or replacing the file *C:\Users\Public\Documents\Vicon\ShogunPost1.x\HotKey.hsl*. You can then manually edit the *HotKey.hsl* file to preserve your custom hot keys. ## 3D Scene view | **Action** | **Mouse/Hot key** | | --- | --- | | Rotate | Click and drag | | Zoom | Right-click and drag | | Translate | Left- and right-click and drag | | Snap the 3D view to selected object(s) without tracking | C | | Track the selected object(s) and enable you to change the selection without stopping tracking the originally selected object. | X To stop tracking, click C. | | Scale the manipulator | Press + (scale up) or - (scale down) | | Switch between Label and Select modes when labeling a subject | L | | Create a retargeting constraint between the selected solving and retargeting bones, or a solving constraint between the selected solving bone and marker.

On the **General** menu, click **Preferences** and in the **Preferences** dialog box, click the **Interface** tab. 2. In the **Selection** area, clear or select **ALT key to select in views**. This sets the ALT key as required when selecting. When **ALT key to select in views** is cleared, the default behavior is selection without the ALT key. > Macro (scroll-pagebreak) ## Selecting and context-sensitive menus The context-sensitive menus in the **Perspective** and **Graph** views are sensitive to selection. When objects are selected, the menu may list commands based on the options available for the selected object. The list of available commands may also depend on factors such as the state or condition of the data in a selected object. For example, commands to fill a gap on a marker are displayed in a context menu only if there is a gap at the current frame. **To access selection-sensitive context menus:** - When **ALT key to select in views** is selected in the **Preferences** dialog box, use ALT+CTRL+ right-click. - When **ALT key to select in views** is cleared in the **Preferences** dialog box, use ALT+ right-click. **To avoid accidentally manipulating objects when using the ALT key to select:** You can turn on the requirement for the CTRL key be held down to manipulate objects in the 3D Scene view by selecting this option on the **Interface** tab of the **Preferences** dialog box. By default, the option is cleared (off). > Macro (inline-media-image)
