Changing default shortcut keys

image\bltlrgsq_shg.gif Example

 

The shortcut key associated with a specific command can be changed, or added, in the [Command cmd] section of the SRC file.

To define the shortcut key for a command:

1. Open the SRC file into a text editor.

2. Type the [Command cmd] section name. Replace the cmd variable with the identifier of the command for which you are changing the text. For a list of identifiers, see Command Identifiers by Menu.

In the [Command cmd] section that you defined:

3. Type the "acc key=" keyname. After the equal sign (=), type the required key: F1 to F12, A to Z, INSERT, or BACK.

4. If required, place a comma after the first key you defined and type another key: SHIFT, CONTROL, or ALT. This defines the key that the user presses first. For example:

[Command FILE_SCAN]

acc key=F2, ALT ;shortcut keys for File, Scan

5. Save the SRC file and compile it. (For details, see Compiling a CFG file.)

The shortcut key you defined is used when the compiled CFG file is used with Imagenation. As well, you can define shortcut keys for external commands. For more information about external commands, see Adding new commands with the API.
