Setting Hotkey Options

There are three standard Screen Recorder Gold hotkeys. A hotkey or combination of hotkeys allows you to activate some action quickly, without the need to select menus or click on-screen buttons. The standard hotkeys and their defaults are:

Hotkey Default Function
Record/Pause F9 Starts recording if Recorder is stopped; Pauses recording if Recorder is running.
Stop F10 Stops Recorder.
Delete F11 Deletes current recording.
Auto Pan F5 Turns on the AutoPan feature during recording. Press hotkey 2nd time to turn off.

To Change the Hotkey Combination

  1. Click Options > Preferences.
  2. Select the Hotkey tab.
  3. To change the hotkeys for any available option, place a checkmark in one or more boxes below CTRL, SHIFT, or ALT if you want to include them in your hotkey combination for the selected action.
  4. Select another keyboard key from the drop-down box on the right. You can choose most keyboard keys here.

For example, if you want to use the key combination <Ctrl> + <Alt> + <R> to record or pause a recording, you would check the CTRL and ALT boxes, and select the letter R from the drop-down list. Then, to activate or pause recording, you would hold down the <Ctrl> and <Alt> keys while you press R.
