Keyboard Configuration

To view and modify shortcuts, open "Settings", then go to the "Keyboard" tab. You will see a list of actions and associated shortcuts.

A single shortcut has format {KeyCode} or {Modifiers}+{KeyCode}. For example KeyF is a shortcut corresponding to pressing the F key and Alt+KeyF is a shortcut corresponding to pressing Alt and F simultaneously. A shortcut can contain more than one modifier, for example Alt+Shift+KeyF. However any shortcut must end with exactly one key code.

The available modifiers are Ctrl, Alt, Shift and Meta. Modifiers must appear in the beginning of the shortcut separated by +, for example Ctrl+Alt.

A shortcut must end with exactly one key code. The available key codes correspond to event.code values based on a reference QWERTY keyboard:

  • Digit0 through Digit9
  • KeyA through KeyZ
  • F1 through F12
  • Esc, PrintScreen, ScrollLock, Pause, Enter
  • Backquote, Minus, Equal, Backspace,
  • Insert, Home, PageUp, Pagedown, End, Delete,
  • CapsLock, Semicolon, Quote, Backslash, IntlBackslash,
  • ContextMenu, ArrowLeft, ArrowUp, ArrowRight, ArrowDown,
  • NumLock, NumpadDivide, NumpadMultiply, NumpadSubtract, NumpadAdd, NumpadEnter, NumpadDecimal,
  • Numpad0 through Numpad9

If you are unsure which key code maps to which key on your keyboard, you can use https://keycode.info/ to detect the appropriate event.code.

Every action can be assigned multiple shortcuts separated by spaces. For example the default set of shortcuts for moving the current item up is Shift+KeyK Shift+ArrowUp, which means that both Shift+K and Shift+Up are assigned to this action.

Restoring the defaults​

To restore the default shortcuts, go to the data directory and delete or rename keyboard.json.
