Setting Preferences with Shortcut Keys

Table 5 lists key combinations that can be used to cycle through settings available in the Chart Preferences dialog. Most of these commands work on the primary distribution — the probability distribution for assumptions, and frequency for forecasts and overlay charts.

Note:

You can also use Ctrl+(view number) to cycle through views in Split View, while Ctrl+(chart number) cycles through multiple open charts. For more information, see Using the Tab and Arrow Keys in the Crystal Ball User Interface.
