In the Keyboard Shortcut Editor you can also select the type of keyboard you are using to take advantage of extra keys on certain keyboards.

When you select your keyboard, the onscreen keyboard is changed to reflect your choice, and entries in the Keyboard Shortcut Catalogue are updated accordingly. If a keyboard shortcut is assigned to a key not available for the keyboard selected, the Keyboard Shortcut Catalogue displays the entry in black.
Keyboard Shortcut Catalogue
A catalogue of keyboard shortcuts is maintained for every user. If the user profile was created in the default home directory, the catalogue is in /opt/Autodesk/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:
- default.<component>.butt.keyboard shortcut
- default.<component>.func.keyboard shortcut
- factory.<component>.butt.keyboard shortcut
- factory.<component>.func.keyboard shortcut
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 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.
