Do you like to use keyboard shortcuts and want to assign some menu options from Merlin Project to keyboard shortcuts?

You can simply use the option for keyboard shortcuts available in the Apple system.

For example, if you want to assign a keyboard shortcut to the 50% completion from the Edit menu, do the following:

  1. Start the Control Panel of your Mac and click on the item Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts.

  2. Type the text exactly as it appears in the Merlin Project menu.
