Use the DiagramCommandsBase.RegisterHotKeys method to clear existing shortcuts or define new ones. The example below shows how set the F10 key as a shortcut that invokes the Print Preview and clear the shortcut associated with saving the diagram to a file.

C#

diagram.Commands.RegisterHotKeys(x => {
                x.RegisterHotKey(Key.F10, ModifierKeys.None, DiagramCommandsBase.ShowPrintPreviewCommand);
                x.ClearHotKeys(DiagramCommandsBase.SaveFileCommand);
            });

VB.NET

diagram.Commands.RegisterHotKeys(Sub(x)
    x.RegisterHotKey(Key.F10, ModifierKeys.None, DiagramCommandsBase.ShowPrintPreviewCommand)
    x.ClearHotKeys(DiagramCommandsBase.SaveFileCommand)
End Sub)
