# Keyboard shortcuts for feature “Color and Star Markings”
Keyboard shortcuts enable you to use feature Color and Star Markings with Comments more quickly via the keyboard than the mouse. They quickly become second nature and will speed up your work, particularly if you frequently rate files and apply markings to them.
Every user can customize the shortcuts for themselves, which makes it possible to use familiar shortcuts from other applications in 4ALLPORTAL as well without having to get used to new combinations.
You will find settings for keyboard shortcuts in menu “Profile”, on tab “Shortcuts”.
