- Quickly save a custom view by pressing Ctrl + number. For example, pressing Ctrl + 1 creates a custom view and assigns it the name Ctrl + 1. To then recall, press the corresponding number used to save the view. For example, if you pressed Ctrl + 1 to save the custom view, press Alt + 1 to quickly recall this view in the future.
- Right-click on a view to recapture, rename, delete, and control the display state of the view.
