186 == Adding your own shortcuts ==
187
188 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:
189
190 {{code language="javascript"}}
191 shortcut.add("Ctrl+Alt+n", function() { alert("Hey there! Congratulations on typing this one ;)"); });
192 {{/code}}
193
194 Also check the [[complete documentation>>https://dmauro.github.io/Keypress/]].
195
196 == Removing keyboard shortcuts ==
197
198 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]]:
199
200 {{code language="javascript"}}
201 shortcut.remove("Ctrl+Alt+n");
202 {{/code}}
203
204 == Removing all shortcuts at once ==
205
206 {{code language="javascript"}}
207 for (binding in shortcut.all_shortcuts()) {
208 shortcut.remove(binding.keys.join(' '));
209 }
210 {{/code}}
