If you assign a key sequence to an add-in command, you can carry out that command by pressing the keys in that sequence. You can assign this key sequence through the Visual C++ user interface.

To assign a key sequence through the user interface

1. Connect the add-in to the development environment.
   
   
2. On the Tools menu, click Customize.
   
   
3. Click the Keyboard tab.
   
   
4. In the Categories box, click Add-ins.
   
   
5. In the Commands box, select the add-in command you want to assign.
   
   
6. Go to the Press new shortcut key box by clicking inside it.
   
   
7. Press the key sequence you want to use for the add-in command.
   
   
8. Click the Assign button.

   Visual C++ assigns that key sequence to the command.

Additionally, Visual C++ provides other ways of using key sequences to customize your desktop environment. For details, see Overview: Customizing Visual C++.
