There is probably not much point in copying either bookmark.txt or recent.txt unless you work on files over a home network a lot. stores bookmark entries for the file viewer I found certain configuration files in the C:Users LauraAppDataRoamingSYSTEMAX Software DevelopmentSAI directory on my Win 7 Desktop:

If you have more than one install of SAI (say on your desktop and your laptop) and you've customized the shortcuts the way you want, but don't want to do this manually for the other installs, you can copy the shortcut definition file from one location to the next. It's nice to be able to use the same shortcuts in SAI as well.Ĭopying Keyboard Shortcuts from installation to the next All of those Adobe programs use (mostly) a common set of keyboard shortcuts, like "I" = Eyedropper, Z = Zoom. I often use SAI to draw with and then export the result into either Photoshop, Illustrator, and Fireworks. You can also use key combinations to use tools on the fly anyway:ĬTRL + SPACE + MOVE CURSOR = select a rectangular areaĪLT + SPACE + MOVE CURSOR = rotate the view of the canvasĬTRL + ALT + MOVE CURSOR = adjust brush/tool size. Combine this with being able to temporarily use a tool by holding its shortcut key down, and drawing with a tablet can be a lot faster. The main point of this tip is that you can set keyboard shortcuts to the standard set of tools like zoom, wand, eye dropper and so on.

This explains just how to change Paint Tool SAI tool shortcuts by regular means. It is possible to reassign the actual keys under windows but for that you'd need to use a utility like AutoHotKey, and it would affect everything, not just SAI. If your command or action (or keyboard combination) isn't listed on Keyboard Shortcut Preference then you can't use the Menu shortcui method.įor example, if you want to use a different key as the spacebar, or cursor keys, you can't do that within SAI because there's no tool button or menu command for these, nor do they appear in the keyboard combinations list. Please NOTE if there's no tool button for the shortcut you want to alter/create, then you can't use the tool shortcut method. There are two ways you can change the shortcuts in Paint Tool SAI, by changing the tool shortcuts, or the menu shortcuts. Paint Tool SAI is a great program, but some of the conveniences aren't always obvious. If you have questions about any of that, please try the SYSTEMAX website (developers of SAI, now on version 1.25), or SAI in English Forums. I also can't help you with issues using SAI surface pro or OS related problems, either. I haven't used SAI for almost eight years, now, and can't answer technical questions about issues outside shortcuts.
