# Shortcuts

Porymap has many keyboard shortcuts set by default, and even more that can be customized yourself. You can view and customize your shortcuts by going to Options -> Edit Shortcuts. Shortcut actions are grouped together by the window that they are used in (Main Window, Tileset Editor…). You can set up to 2 shortcuts per action, but you cannot have duplicate shortcuts set within the same window. If you enter a shortcut that is already in use, Porymap will prompt you cancel or overwrite the old shortcut. You can also restore your shortcuts to the defaults.

Edit Shortcuts

Your shortcuts are stored at `%Appdata%\pret\porymap\porymap.shortcuts.cfg` on Windows and `~/Library/Application\ Support/pret/porymap/porymap.shortcuts.cfg` on macOS).

For reference, here is a comprehensive list of the default shortcuts set in Porymap.
