Сan't reassign key command

Dorico

Hi, I want to change key command for “Show/Hide lower zone” which is Ctrl+8 by default. But when I click on this command, I can’t see the shortcut or able to change it. Windows, Elements 5.1.51

I think you need to select “true”…

I tried this of course, but I don’t want separate key commands for True/False

You can’t currently set this via the Key Commands editor, which isn’t ideal. If you’re brave, you can edit this shortcut using a text editor by editing the keycommands_en.json file from /Users/your-username/Library/Application Support/Steinberg/Dorico 5 in a text editor. In the kGlobal scope, add the following lines:

					{
						"Window.ShowBottomPanel": [ "Ctrl+8" ]
					},

and substitute your desired shortcut for the default one. Check that the resulting JSON file is still valid JSON by pasting the whole contents of that file into e.g. jsonlint.com before you run Dorico again.

FWIW, on my Windows 10 computer this file is in:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Steinberg\Dorico 5
