Keyboard Shortcuts¶
Many tools and menu commands have keyboard shortcuts associated. For menu command shortcuts, the shortcut is listed in the menu.
In many modules the shortcut to open or add a result file can be combined with the shift key. That allows selection of any file (otherwise a filter will be applied).
On most UNIX systems (including Linux) and Windows you need to use the control key together with some letter. On a Macintosh (running locally) you need to use the ⌘ key (command key) together with a letter.
If you are using a Mac, the GUI uses the X11 program to run. The X11 program itself may intercept the menu-shortcuts like ⌘-C, ⌘-H, and so on. You can change this using the Preferences command from the X11 menu (Enable key equivalents under X11 should NOT be checked).
The following table lists all keyboad shortcuts, per module. If no ⌘ or ctrl is specified Just press the indicated key without any modifier keys. On a mac, ⌘ should be used as shown, on other systems use the control key (ctrl).
