1. Use the Alt + Ctrl + Comma shortcut to open the Keyboard Shortcuts window.
2. Type build in the search bar.
3. The Build: Hardware key-binding is Alt+Shift+BH.
4. To edit the keyboard shortcut for build hardware, hover over the line of Build: Hardware. Click the Edit Keybinding icon on the left and input your preferred key-binding.

Command Palette

The command palette lets you quickly find and execute commands without remembering keyboard shortcuts or menu location. For example, to run build hardware with the command palette, do the following:

1. Select your component or project in the workspace.
2. Type Ctrl + Shift + P to open the Command Palette menu.
3. Type the keyword build, run or debug. For example, the Command Palette filters the command names for commands matching your entry.
4. Use the mouse or the up or down arrow keys to scroll through the selection of commands. Select the command you want to execute.
5. Press Enter to execute the selected command.

For example, select an HLS component in the Component Explorer and type Ctrl + Shift + P, then in the Command Palette type C Syn. The HLS: C Synthesis is one of the options. Select the option and press Enter. The tool runs C synthesis on the selected HLS component.
