Define Hotkeys

Function Keys
The function keys are the row of keys at the top of the keyboard, F1 through F12. In "Regular" Mode, the definitions for those keys are displayed and can be changed. In "Shift" Mode, the definitions for those keys pressed when holding the Shift key are displayed and can be changed; they are named SF1 through SF12.

Commands
Enter into the text box the commands executed when the hotkey next to the text box is pressed.
