<h3 class="section">16.3 The Key Manager Dialog</h3>
<!-- -->
<p class="noindent">The key manager is accessible through the menu <code>Edit->Key Shortcuts</code>.
This dialog provides an easy way to associate key shortcuts with actions.
These actions are either predefined in GPS, or defined in your own
customization files, as documented in <a href="Customizing-through-XML-and-Python-files.html#Customizing-through-XML-and-Python-files">Customizing through XML and Python files</a>.
It also provides an easy way to redefine the menu shortcuts.
<p><a name="index-screen-shot-777"></a><img src="key-shortcuts.jpg" alt="key-shortcuts.jpg">
<p>Actions are referenced by their name, and are grouped into categories. These
categories indicate when the action applies. For instance, the indentation
command only applies in source editors, whereas the command to change the
current window applies anywhere in GPS.
The categories can be explicitly specified when you created your own actions
through XML files (see <a href="Defining-Actions.html#Defining-Actions">Defining Actions</a>).
<p>Through the key manager, you can define key bindings similar to what Emacs
uses (<control-x> followed by <control-k> for instance). To register
such key bindings, you need to press the <code>Grab</code> button as usual, and then
type the shortcut. The recording of the key binding will stop a short while
after the last key stroke.
<p>If you define complex shortcuts for menus, they will not appear next to
the menu name when you select it with the mouse. This is expected, and is
due to technical limitations in the graphical toolkit that GPS uses.
<p>When you assign a new shortcut to an action, the following happens:
<ul>
<li>All actions and menus currently associated with the same key will no
longer be executed when the key is pressed.
<li>All key shortcuts defined for this action are replaced by the new one.
As a result, the action is only executable through this new shortcut.
</ul>
