# Changing capture keys

Captivate has default keys for starting and ending the recording process (both standard Flash recording and full motion recording). You can change these keys as desired.

Note: You cannot use the Escape, Enter, Tab, Spacebar, Shift (without Control or Alt), F1, or Backspace keys in a key combination.

#### To change recording capture keys:

1. Do one of the following:

2. Open Captivate. From the Options menu, select Recording Options.

3. Open Captivate. Open a Captivate movie. From the Options menu, select Recording Options.

2. Click on the Change Recording Keys tab.

3. To change keys, click once in one of text boxes and, on the keyboard, press the key or key combination you want to use. For example, click inside the stop recording text box and then press Shift+Alt 4. The key combination you entered now appears in the stop recording text box. You can use almost any key, including the Control, Alt, Shift+Control or Shift+Alt keys. For example, you could change the start recording key to ALT+R. You can change the keys used to stop recording, start manually capturing, start full motion recording, and stop full motion recording.

4. When you are finished, click OK.
