203 * Save the page
204 * Go to the wiki administration, edit the attached XObject (change the URL to ##/edit/XWiki/XWikiPreferences?editor=object##)
205 * Add ##XWiki.KeyboardShortcuts## to the "Internationalization Document Bundles" field
206
207 == Adding your own shortcuts ==
208
209 You can add your own keyboard shortcuts in a few javascript lines :
210
211 {{code language="html"}}
212 <script type="text/javascript">
213 //<![CDATA[
214 shortcut.add("Ctrl+Alt+n", function() { alert("Hey there! Congratulations on typing this one ;)"); });
215 //]]>
216 </script>
217 {{/code}}
218
219 {{html clean="false"}}
220 <script type="text/javascript">
221 shortcut.add("Ctrl+Alt+n", function() { alert("Hey there! Congratulations on typing this one ;)"); }, {'propagate':false} );
222 </script>
223 {{/html}}
224
225 Try the snippet by pressing (% class="key" %)**Ctrl**(%%) + (% class="key" %)**Alt**(%%) + (% class="key" %)**n**(%%).
226
227 Also check the [[complete documentation>>https://dmauro.github.io/Keypress/]].
228
229 == Removing keyboard shortcuts ==
230
231 To remove a shortcut adapt this snippet to your needs :
232
233 {{code language="html"}}
234 <script type="text/javascript">
235 //<![CDATA[
236 shortcut.remove("Ctrl+Alt+n");
237 //]]>
238 </script>
239 {{/code}}
240
241 {{html clean="false"}}
242 <script type="text/javascript">
243 function removeCtrlAltN() {
244 shortcut.remove("Ctrl+Alt+n");
245 }
246 </script>
247 <a onclick="removeCtrlAltN(); return false;" href="#">Click here to try the snippet, it will remove the Ctrl+Alt+n shortcut</a>.
248 {{/html}}
249
250 == Removing all shortcuts at once ==
251
252 {{code language="html"}}
253 <script type="text/javascript">
254 //<![CDATA[
255 for (binding in shortcut.all_shortcuts()) {
256 shortcut.remove(binding.keys.join(' '));
257 }
258 //]]>
259 </script>
260 {{/code}}
261
262 {{velocity}}
263 #if (!$isGuest && $isAdvancedUser)
264 {{html clean="false"}}
265 <script type="text/javascript">
266 //<![CDATA[
267 function removeAll() {
268 for (binding in shortcut.all_shortcuts()) {
269 shortcut.remove(binding.keys.join(' '));
270 }
271 }
272 //]]>
273 </script>
274 <a onclick="removeAll(); return false;" href="#">Click here to try the snippet, it will disable all keyboard shortcuts</a>.
