To view and edit keybindings, navigate to the **top bar** -> **Edit** -> **Keybindings**. 

The keybinding window lists all keybindings for a task, grouped by category for easy reference.

Some keybindings are fixed keys, meaning they cannot be edited, reset, or removed.

## Conflicting keys

When attempting to assign a key to a function that is already assigned to another function, a conflict will arise. 

To resolve this conflict, you can reassign the key to the keybinding you are currently editing. Consequently, the previous keybinding will **lose** its associated key, ensuring a unique assignment for each function.

:::hint{type="warning"}
If Kognic releases a new tool or feature with an assigned key that you have selected for another action - your action will no longer have a key. If this happens, you will be notified the next time you enter the task view.
