Paste as New Image -- Remap ???

[thumper300zx]

In Paint Shop Pro X (and every version I can remember BEFORE then) Paste as New Image was CTRL+V. Now, PSP has changed it to CTRL+SHIFT+V -- annoys the crap out of me! Any way to remap it?

Yes there is. Of course I've always used Shift + Insert for pasting so I never really noticed the change. XD

1 ) Go to your View menu and select Customize (View->Customize) - the customize menu is where you can edit a whole host of information like menu shortcuts, word phrasing, unused commands, binding scripts and adding them to menus, even changing up the context menus and of course changing short-cut keys like Ctrl + V.

2 ) Select the Keyboard tab

3 ) Select "Edit" from the category drop down box to edit the Edit commands keyboard shortcuts.

4 ) Scroll through the list box to find "Past As New Layer" and select it. Below you should see the description "Past clipboard contents into the current document as a new layer" as well as the currently assigned short-cut keys and a box for identifying new ones.

5 ) Click on the key combination "Ctrl + V" inside the currently assigned box. The "Remove" button should now be active

6 ) Click Remove - the key combination is no longer assigned to any other command. This is a necessary step.

7 ) Select "Past As New Image" from the list box now.

8 ) Click inside the "Press New Shortcut Key" text box and hit the key combination you want to add to this command "Ctrl + V". It will pop up with a list of commands that this key combination is assigned to. It should say "[Unassigned]" which means we properly erased it from the list of the other command.

9 ) Click the "Assign" button and it should now be saved as one of the shortcuts for "Paste As New Image."

10 ) You can go ahead and reassign "Ctrl + Shift + V" to Paste as New Layer if you want or get rid of it altogether. Up to you how you want to further customize your workspace.

Hope this helped.

(Here's an example of the dialog just before adding Ctrl + V to Past As New Image)

Ah -- cool. Thanks! That should work.
