160 {{code}}
161 core.shortcuts.view.edit=e
162 core.shortcuts.view.wiki=k
163 core.shortcuts.view.wysiwyg=g
164 core.shortcuts.view.inline=f
165 core.shortcuts.view.rights=r

181 )))
182 * Modify entries in this list at your convenience
183 * Save the page
184 * Edit the page in [[object mode>>Documentation.UserGuide.Features.PageEditing#HObjectseditingmode]] and add an ## XWiki.TranslationDocumentClass## xobject
185 ** Select the ##wiki## scope for the new translations (i.e. the new keyboard shortcuts) to apply to the whole wiki. {{warning}}You'll need to have Admin permissions for it to work{{/warning}}
186
187 == Adding your own shortcuts ==
188
189 You can add your own keyboard shortcuts in a few javascript lines. You can do that, for example, by adding a [[JavaScript StyleSheet Extension>>Documentation.DevGuide.Tutorials.SkinExtensionsTutorial.WebHome]] and putting the following content:
190
191 {{code language="javascript"}}
192 shortcut.add("Ctrl+Alt+n", function() { alert("Hey there! Congratulations on typing this one ;)"); });
193 {{/code}}
194
195 Also check the [[complete documentation>>https://dmauro.github.io/Keypress/]].
196
197 == Removing keyboard shortcuts ==
198
199 To remove a shortcut adapt the following snippet to your needs and use by putting it in a [[JavaScript StyleSheet Extension>>Documentation.DevGuide.Tutorials.SkinExtensionsTutorial.WebHome]]:
200
201 {{code language="javascript"}}
202 shortcut.remove("Ctrl+Alt+n");
203 {{/code}}
204
205 == Removing all shortcuts at once ==
206
207 {{code language="javascript"}}
208 for (binding in shortcut.all_shortcuts()) {
209 shortcut.remove(binding.keys.join(' '));
210 }
211 {{/code}}
212
