Dreamweaver

By Miranda Gorte, Graphic Artist/Website Specialist, P. I. Engineering.

Dreamweaver is an essential tool in my everyday activies at P.I.  My X-keys Xk-60 keeps the tools and features that I use most ready at the touch of a button. No more remembering keyboard shortcuts, or searching the computer screen to find the needed tool!

I grouped the keys together by category in how frequently I use them as well as their relevance to each other. The bottom three groups are my most used keys. One thing that I love about using X-keys, is that I am not stuck using the inital layout I create. You can move, regroup, remove, or add tools you need.

Here you can find a list of all the shortcuts for Dreamweaver. All of the ones I used and some that are useful, but didn't make the cut on my XK-60.

Top Row

Launch Dreamweaver, Save, Save As, Fancy box, Fancy box script, Switch between Code and Design view, Registered Trademark Symbol, Trademark Symbol, www.xkeys.com homepage

Fair Warning

X-keys are extremely addicting, once you start using an X-keys with Dreamweaver, you won't want to give it up. I didn't believe it until I started, now I feel lost when I'm working on a different computer without it.
