Tips, Shortcuts, and Context Menus

Home > Getting Started > Tips, Shortcuts, and Context Menus

This reference section provides tips on working with iGrafx tools, documents, and shapes. It includes a function key map, shortcuts for working with files, editing objects, and arranging shapes, and a context menu reference.

Many of the shortcuts for iGrafx commands are documented in the iGrafx menu. Shortcuts are available on all iGrafx products unless otherwise noted.

You can access all iGrafx menu items using only the keyboard. Not all keyboard access sequences are documented. Please see the iGrafx menu for additional commands not documented.

As you use iGrafx, view the Status bar at the bottom of the application window for brief messages. Passing the cursor over items in the window displays a ToolTip (a short description about the item).

iGrafx is compliant with U.S. Section 508 for accessibility. The iGrafx Voluntary Accessibility Templates (VPAT) are on the iGrafx web site under Section 508. See special keyboard access for U.S. Section 508 compliance in this section.

In this document, keyboard shortcuts can be key combinations such as Alt+F,A. In this case, you would hold the Alt key down continuously while you type F and then type A.
