What keystrokes are needed to change the Pin that MX selects for a peripheral?

I have the Nucleo-F446RE. And when I ran the MX it set USART3_TX to Pin PB10. Looking at table 11 in DS10693 Rev 10 STM32F446xC/E

It says

USART3_TX can be on PB10, PC10, and PD8.

It looks like PD8 is not on the STM32F446 Nucleo-64 board.

PB10 is on CN9-7 and CN10-25

PC10 is on CN7-1

How do I tell the USART3 Mode and Configuration -> GPIO Settings to use PC10 and not PB10?

No combination of keystrokes/mouse clicks let me change it that I know of.

Hello @KiptonM​ 

Thanks for your question,

In fact, the PD8 is only available on LQFP144 , UFBGA144 and LQFP100 packages as mentioned in the DataSheet, for that, the STM32F446RE which has the LQFP64 package, the USART3_TX signal cannot be assigned to PD8 pin.

Now, if you want to use the PC10 as pin for the USART3_TX signal, you have just to click on PC10 and choose the USART3_TX (before the activation of the USART IP or even after).

I would like to take this opportunity to present you another way to know the possible Pins that can be remapped instead of other pins for a signal used, without referring to DS and directly through the Pinout view of the CubeMX interface, you need just to put the cursor on pin (which has already a signal on it) and press CTRL+Click, then CubeMX will give you all possible pins which contain the same signal (Alternates) :
