hmtoggle_plus1 Hot Keys

Within PHDwin, there are several Hot Keys available that may be used to navigate the program more quickly and efficiently. These hot keys are the default within the program. The default hot key is not available for every operation listed. For those operations without a default hot key, you can specify a custom hot key to use. You can also specify an alternative custom hot key for the defaults. Custom hot keys takes precedence over defaults. Hence, for operations with both default and custom hot keys, the default is ignored.
