**Important:**\
1\. Keyboard shortcuts are only available on a grandMA2 onPC.\
2\. Keyboards that have a different keyboard layout, as opposed to German keyboards, do not support all default keyboard shortcuts. \
If this should be the case with your keyboard, adjust the shortcuts affected. To transfer these to other show files and/or stations, use the Import/Export function. For more information on how adjust the shortcuts see [export or import keyboard shortcuts](/grandma2/key_ws_keyboard_shortcuts_export_import/). 

The go to the keyboard shortcuts press the Setup and under tab **Console** tap Edit Keyboard Shortcuts.
