I've overwritten a hotkey, and cant get it back.

I've overwritten a hotkey, and cant get it back.

I've overwritten a hotkey, and cant get it back.

(OP)
In adding my hotkeys to my recent reloading of sw, I inadvertently tried to move my curser using the down arrow button, which in my haste erased the "rotate model down" function of the down arrow.  Does anyone know how to reset my down arrow to function properly again?

Were you customising the keyboard shortcuts from within SW or Windows?

Does the Reset To Defaults option not return the function?

Yup.  But you can restore that manually (copy your current hotkeys to a .txt file and use it as a reference) and then save it correctly for the next time.

Hey way, there is a list of defaults somewhere.  I don't remember if it is in SolidWorks help though.  Your VAR could actually tell you right away too.

that's weird.  I just tried to set my down arrow.  It is supposedly set to Window Single View, but when I search for that function, there's nothing listed.  Also, I don't know which scenario that hotkey is for since I've never had a single view window pop up on me when I hit the down arrow.
