A catalogue of keyboard shortcuts is maintained for every user. If the user profile was created in the default home directory, the catalogue is found in /usr/discreet/user/<user_name>/hotkey/. If the user profile was created elsewhere, the catalogue is found in <user home directory>/hotkey/. The keyboard shortcuts in the keyboard shortcut catalogue are stored in the following formats:
| Where: | Means: |
|---|---|
| <component> | The module containing the keyboard shortcut. |
| default | The keystroke that is currently in use. |
| factory | The Autodesk factory default. |
| butt | A button keyboard shortcut. |
| func | A non-button function keyboard shortcut. |
User-modified keyboard shortcuts are stored in a separate file: default.<component>.butt.keyboard shortcut.user. This file is loaded after the system keyboard shortcut file, default.<component>.butt.keyboard shortcut. Entries in the user-modified keyboard shortcut file replace the system keyboard shortcut entries, with the exception of cloned keyboard shortcuts, which are duplicated.
