PCB Designer: How to unlock read-only keyboard shortcuts for setting script shortcuts with the alias / funckey command

garypchambers

Having recently upgraded to 17.2 from 16.6 there now seems to be more read-only keyboard shortcuts. For example CTRL+Z (~Z), CTL+S (~S) etc... that were not readonly in 16.6

When trying to set these in 17.2 I get the response:   W- alias ~S is marked read-only, not changed.

This was not an issue with 16.6 and I would still like to use the same shortcuts I had setup previously. Is there a way to unlock this read only state in 17.7 for locked keyboard shortcuts?

Thanks

    Anyone figure this out?  I have used these now read-only alias for about 14 years.  Now is not the time to remap my keyboard. Thanks.
