Maxwell Key Shortcuts

To get the most out of Maxwell, assign custom key shortcuts to Maxwell Render and Maxwell Render Options. To do so, select Edit > Key Shortcuts... from the form•Z menubar. In the resulting key shortcut manager, click on Display in the Category list. CMD-M (Mac)/ CTRL-M (Windows) works nicely for activating Maxwell. Option-M (Mac)/ ALT-M (Windows) is a good combination for accessing the render options.
