153 == Modifying keyboard shortcuts ==
154

156 {{code language="text"}}
157 core.shortcuts.view.edit=e
158 core.shortcuts.view.wiki=k
159 core.shortcuts.view.wysiwyg=g
160 core.shortcuts.view.inline=f
161 core.shortcuts.view.rights=r
162 core.shortcuts.view.objects=o
163 core.shortcuts.view.class=s
164 core.shortcuts.view.comments=c
165 core.shortcuts.view.attachments=a
166 core.shortcuts.view.history=h
167 core.shortcuts.view.information=i
168 core.shortcuts.view.code=d
169 core.shortcuts.view.delete=Delete
170 core.shortcuts.view.rename=F2
171 core.shortcuts.edit.cancel=Alt+C
172 core.shortcuts.edit.backtoedit=Alt+B
173 core.shortcuts.edit.preview=Alt+P
174 core.shortcuts.edit.saveandcontinue=Alt+Shift+S
175 core.shortcuts.edit.saveandview=Alt+S
176 {{/code}}
177 )))
178 * Modify entries in this list at your convenience
179 * Save the page
180 * Edit the page in [[object mode>>Documentation.UserGuide.Features.PageEditing#HObjectseditingmode]] and add an ## XWiki.TranslationDocumentClass## xobject
181 ** 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}}
182
183 == Adding your own shortcuts ==
184
185 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:
186
187 {{code language="javascript"}}
188 shortcut.add("Ctrl+Alt+n", function() { alert("Hey there! Congratulations on typing this one ;)"); });
189 {{/code}}
190
191 Also check the [[complete documentation>>https://dmauro.github.io/Keypress/]].
192
193 == Removing keyboard shortcuts ==
194
195 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]]:
196
197 {{code language="javascript"}}
198 shortcut.remove("Ctrl+Alt+n");
199 {{/code}}
200
201 == Removing all shortcuts at once ==
202
203 {{code language="javascript"}}
204 for (binding in shortcut.all_shortcuts()) {
205 shortcut.remove(binding.keys.join(' '));
206 }
207 {{/code}}
208
