Setting hotkeys
---------------

When you set a keyboard shortcut for a sound in Soundpad, it is always
global. That means the key combination will be recognized and the sound
will be played even if Soundpad window is not active.

There are two ways to set hotkeys:

- Right click on a sound and select Set hotkey from the context menu or

- Double click on the hotkey column of the sound.

The hotkey dialog will appear. Here you can press the key combination you
want to assign to that sound.





Unassigned actions
------------------

Usual program hotkeys are called "Special hotkeys" in Soundpad. There
aren't many shortcuts available right away, because they mostly waiting to
be assigned.

You can define special hotkeys in File > Preferences > Hotkeys > Special
Hotkeys.
