<para>While most of the functionality offered by &plasma; can be accessed
|
|
using a simple <quote>point and click</quote> interface, many people
|
|
prefer using the keyboard for some tasks. Pressing something like
|
|
<keycombo action="simul"> &Ctrl;<keycap>F</keycap></keycombo> is often
|
|
just faster than moving your hands off the keyboard to the mouse,
|
|
opening the <guimenu>Edit</guimenu> menu and selecting
|
|
<guimenuitem>Find</guimenuitem>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para> As different people have different preferences about keyboard
|
|
shortcuts, &plasma; offers full customization of <quote>key
|
|
bindings.</quote> A key binding or shortcut is a combination of an
|

action with a key or a combination of keys.</para>

<title>Standard Shortcuts and Global Shortcuts</title>

<para>Standard shortcuts and Global shortcuts work just the same.

Actually, in a certain way standard or application shortcuts are

difference is:</para>
|
|

<itemizedlist>
|

<listitem><para><quote>Standard shortcuts</quote> refer to actions
|

that are often available in applications, such as Save, Print, Copy
|

&etc;</para></listitem>
|
|
<listitem><para><quote>Global shortcuts</quote> are shortcuts for
|
|
actions that make sense even when no application is opened. These
|
|
shortcuts usually refer to actions like switching desktops, manipulating
|
|
windows &etc;</para></listitem>

</itemizedlist>
|

|
|
<para>Please note, that the application shortcuts configured here are
|
|
<emphasis>only</emphasis> the standard actions often found in
|

applications. Most applications will define their own actions as well,
|

for which you have to customize key bindings using the application's

key bindings dialog.</para>

<title>Configuring Key Bindings</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>Configuring key bindings is pretty easy. In the middle of
|
|
these &systemsettings; modules you will find a list of available
|
|
actions. If there's a key binding configured for that action you will
|
|
find it in the columns right to it. Just select the action you want to
|
|
configure.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>After you have selected an action in the list you will notice that
|
|
this item is highlighted and you see two additional check boxes below
|
|
this item in the list view. There you can configure a
|
|
combination of keys or maybe no key binding at all for the selected
|
|
action. </para>
|
|
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
|
|
<listitem><para><guilabel>Default</guilabel>: the selected action
|
|
will be associated with &kde;'s default value. This is a good choice
|
|
for most actions, as &kde; comes with reasonable key bindings we have
|
|
thought about. </para></listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem><para><guilabel>Custom</guilabel>: if this option is
|
|
enabled, you can create a key combination for the selected
|
|
action. Click on the button labeled either <guibutton>None</guibutton>
|
|
or labeled with the previously selected custom shortcut. Now the button label
|
|
changes to <guibutton>Input</guibutton>. Then press any modifier key
|
|
(&ie; &Shift;, &Ctrl;, or &Alt;) and then normal key or a function key (⪚ <keycap>F11</keycap>)
|
|
you want to assign to this key combination.</para>
|
|
<para>Clicking on the <guilabel>Alternate</guilabel> column of a row in the list
|
|
allows to edit the second shortcut for the action.</para></listitem>
