# Raccourcis clavier

## Overview

MuseScore commands can be accessed via the main menus, toolbars, Properties panel or context menus, or by using **keyboard shortcuts**.

Pre-existing keyboard shortcut are shown alongside the commands in the **main menus** or **context** (right-click) **menus**, or by hovering the mouse pointer over an icon in a **toolbar**.

Alternatively, you can view a list of commands and their shortcuts in **Edit→Preferences→Shortcuts**. This is also the place where you can create a shortcut or change an existing one. To locate a command in the list either scroll down the alphabetical order, or enter an appropriate keyword in the “Search shortcut” box.

## Defining a shortcut

To define a new shortcut, or change an existing one:

1. From the menu bar, select **Edit→Preferences→Shortcuts**
2. Find the relevant command in the alphabetical list; use the **Search** box if needed.
3. Either double-click the relevant entry, or select the entry and click **Define…**
4. With the **Enter shortcut sequence** dialog open, press and hold the sequence of keys on your keyboard to use as the new shortcut.
5. Press **Save** (or **Cancel** to exit the dialog without changing anything).

## Resetting and clearing shortcuts

### To reset a shortcut to its default:

1. From the menu bar, select **Edit→Preferences→Shortcuts**
2. Find the relevant command in the alphabetical list; use the **Search** box if needed.
3. Select the entry and press **Reset to default**.

### To clear (i.e. delete) a shortcut:

1. From the menu bar, select **Edit→Preferences→Shortcuts**
2. Find the relevant command in the alphabetical list; use the **Search** box if needed.
3. Select the entry and press **Clear**.

**Note**: You can select more than one shortcut if needed. Press the `Shift` key to establish a continuous range, or the `Ctrl` key for a list.

## Importing and exporting shortcuts

To save the existing shortcuts or import a list of your own:

1. From the menu bar, select **Edit→Preferences→Shortcuts**
2. Press **Export** to save the list; or **Import** to load a new shortcut list.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://handbook.musescore.org/fr/customization/keyboard-shortcuts.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
