Delete Keyboard Shortcuts (utility)

Delete Keyboard Shortcuts ( Utility Functions , for ' Lightning ' )

The Delete Keyboard Shortcuts utility can be used to delete keyboard shortcut configuration files. Such a file can be assigned to a role when ' Lightning ' is selected for User and Site Options > General > " Lightning role configuration " or " Drawing Editor layout style ."
A keyboard shortcut configuration can be assigned to a role in Customize Interface . In the example below, a file named my_favorite_keys is assigned to the currently selected available role .

Keyboard configuration:
my_favorite_keys
Be careful. This utility will allow you to delete a keyboard shortcut configuration that is currently in use or that is used in multiple roles in one or multiple role configurations . If the keyboard shortcut configuration is in current use, no warning will be given by the program, although you can continue to use that configuration until you exit the program (e.g., Modeling ).
The Delete Keyboard Shortcuts utility has no effect on ' Classic ' keyboard shortcuts, which reside in the toolbar configuration file .
See the step-by-step instructions .
