To change a keyboard binding:
Select a command from the list under Settings > Keyboard.
Enter the desired key or key combination. (Note that you can select multiple buttons, for example Ctrl + A.) If that key binding is already in use, the existing assignment is listed under conflicts. If it conflicts with an existing binding that cannot be changed, the conflict is listed in red. (For example, Ctrl + C is used for Copy and cannot be used for anything else.) If a conflict is displayed in black, it indicates the current assignment, but it can be reassigned.
Click Assign to make the change.
To remove a keyboard binding:
Click Remove to remove the keyboard binding from that command.

Mouse Wheel Settings

To change the binding for a Mouse action:
Select a command from the list under Mouse Motion Settings.
Enter the desired key or key combination. (Note that you can select multiple buttons, for example Ctrl + Shift + Left Button.) If that key binding is already in use, the existing assignment is listed under conflicts. If it conflicts with an existing binding that cannot be changed, the conflict is listed in red. If a conflict is displayed in black, it indicates the current assignment, but it can be reassigned.
Settings changes are applied globally, so any changes apply to the current and future sessions of the CAD toolbox. If for some reason you need to revert to the default bindings, you can delete that stores these settings. The next time the CAD toolbox is opened, the default bindings will be restored. The files are
C:\Users\<name>\AppData\Roaming\CadToolboxPro\<version>\commands.json
