Accelerator Keys
Accelerator keys (also called accelkeys) are keyboard
keys that activate functions when pressed in a particular sequence on
any of Endeavour's windows.
Each one of Endeavour's windows has customizable accelerator
keys, to set the accelerator keys
go to
Settings->Customize...-><WINDOW_NAME>->Keymaps,
you should then see the window below:
To set a function's accelerator key:
- Select the function.
- Click on Scan.
- Wait for the "Press key sequence..." prompt.
- Press the desired key sequence that you want
this function to be activated by.
Modifier keys (such as ALT
, CTRL
, or
SHIFT
) should be pressed first, before the
final key, and held down until the final key is released.
For example, to set the key sequence CTRL + SHIFT +
A
:
- Press and hold the
CTRL
and SHIFT
keys
- While holding down the
CTRL
and SHIFT
keys, press and release the A
key.
- Then release the
CTRL
and SHIFT
keys.
To clear a function's accelerator key:
