Settings: Shortcuts

"Choose Change, then press the new keys. Esc cancels. Shortcuts apply after “Save settings”." The section lists every command of the app, by menu (File, Edit, View, Graph, Assistant, Sync, Help), with its shortcut.

#How to change a shortcut

1. Find the command in the list. Rows such as "Language: English", "Choose the assistant: OpenAI" or "Color: Red" are the choices of a submenu.
2. Press Change. The row says "Press keys…".
3. Press the new combination, for example Ctrl+Shift+K. Escape cancels, and Tab leaves the row. A key without Ctrl or Alt that moves around the window or types text is refused: "This key moves around the window or types text. Hold Ctrl or Alt with it. Esc cancels."
4. If the combination already belongs to another command: "Ctrl+K already belongs to “Add node…”. Move it to “…”? “Add node…” is then left without a shortcut." Move it or Keep as it was.
5. Press Save settings.

#Other buttons on a row

• the cross (Remove): the command gets no shortcut ("None");
• the round arrow (Reset): back to the default; "Default: Ctrl+K" shows it.

Reset all to defaults at the top resets every row. A conflict between two rows is marked "Also used by …".

#Good to know

• Ctrl is the key on Linux; on a Mac it is Cmd.
• On a Latin keyboard (QWERTY, AZERTY, QWERTZ, Dvorak) a shortcut is the key marked with its letter. On a Russian or another non-Latin layout it is the key in the same place as on a US keyboard. Where that matters, a row says so: "On this keyboard: the Я key", or "On this keyboard: type it with Shift or AltGr".
• Alt and F10 (menu bar) and Shift+F10 (canvas menu) cannot be changed.
