Question

Change shortcut for Discover panel

Hi. I would like to change the shortcut for the Discover panel. It is setup for Insert and can't, for unknown reasons, be changed from the Keyboard Shortcuts-panel. I constantly press Imnsert by mistake (and I would also be able to use the key for it's intended purpose). I have no interest whatsoever of the Discover features, and when popping up it disturbs the workflow.

 

Is there another way of changing the shortcut or is it hardcoded?

If anyone else finds this: the only way I found to get rid of this damn feature was to simply disable the key in my OS. Incredibly stupid that this should be required.
It would be nice if Adobe could fix it so you can change the Discover panel command directly in Illustrator. I understand that you want people to use the Discover panel, but forcing a feature like this is not a winning concept.

    I'm having this issue too. I guess I have to disable my insert key as well. I swear I'm going back to the high seas with this software.

    So when you select the Illustrator Default set (I assume you have a custom Key Short set), it still links Ins key with Help?

    If you are using the Illy Default, I'd quit Illy and trash your prefs...

    If you have a custom set, I'd switch to Illy Default, quit Illy, trash your prefs, then rebuild your custom set. (Export your set so you know what you need to change).

    I don't have an Insert key on my keyboards, so I cannot do further tests. Sorry.

    You should be able to change or remove it in Edit menu > Keyboard Shortcuts > Menu Commands > Help > Illustrator Help.

    Thanks for your quick reply! However, after changing the shortcut,  Illustrator still open the Discover panel when I press  Insert. So it does not seem to work.
