Shortcuts

While working with kodisein, you may perform any available operation by activating it's menu item. For a faster activation, you can use the associated keyboard shortcut.

The shortcuts of the menu items will be displayed if you activate view > mode > show shortcuts.

The symbols before the key represent the modulator keys:

Shift, Control, Alt and Meta/Apple

Defining Shortcuts

Because everybody probably has different preferences and a different keyboard layout, the shortcuts are not hardcoded but freely changeable.

You change the shortcuts the following way:

  • activate the item you want to change while pressing
  • enter the new shortcut and press afterwards

If you activated view > mode > show shortcuts before, the new shortcut should be displayed immediately.

Note, that you will receive an error messge, if you try to asign a shortcut which is already defined for another menu item (or any prefix of it). Note also, that the maximum length for a shortcut is 2 (modulated) keys.

Preferences File

Your shortcuts will be saved in the preferences file, when you quit the program. It is located in the application's folder:

kodisein.app/Contents/MacOS/kodisein.cfg

To restore the default shortcuts, simply delete this file before starting kodisein.
