A tear off menu will behave the same as an ordinary window. To close a tear off menu, select the dotted line item at the top of the menu.</p> <h2>Keyboard shortcuts</h2> <p>The keyboard sequence associated to each menu entry is listed within the main window menu bar. For reference, the complete list of default keyboard shortcuts can be found in section <a href="reference_keyboard_shortcuts.html">Keyboard Shortcuts</a>.</p> <h2>Changing the main window menu bar keyboard shortcuts</h2> <p>The keyboard shortcuts associated with the menu bar items can be changed by editing the accels file located in the Geeqie configuration folder <b>while the Geeqie application is not running</b>:</p> <p><code>($HOME)/.geeqie/accels</code> </p> <p>To change a menu item, first find the line corresponding to the menu item to change. For example the File menu Quit line originally looks like this:</p> <p><code>; (gtk_accel_path "<main>/File/Quit" "<Control>q")</code> </p> <p>To change this menu's keyboard shortcut, first remove the leading semicolon (;), removing the semicolon will tell Geeqie that this menu item has been customized. Then change the keyboard shortcut defined by the text in quotes at the end of the line, be sure to only change the text within the quotes; in this case the text “<control>q”. For example changing the shortcut associated with Quit to the <span class="key">Q</span> key will result in this line:</p> <p><code>(gtk_accel_path "<main>/File/Quit" "q")</code> </p> <p>Please note the removed semicolon and the change of “<control>q” to “q”, be careful not to change any of the other text on the line or Geeqie may ignore the customization. The keyboard modifiers and their respective text are listed below:</p> <div class="accels_file_syntax"> <table width="60%" border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" rules="rows"> <col id="accels_file_syntax_col1" width="50%"></col> <col id="accels_file_syntax_col2" width="50%"></col> <thead> <tr> <td> <p>Key</p> </td> <td> <p>Text to use in accels file</p> </td> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td> <p><span class="key">Shift</span></p> </td> <td> <p><shift></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p><span class="key">Ctrl</span></p> </td> <td> <p><control></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p><span class="key">Alt</span></p> </td> <td> <p><alt></p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <p>Modifiers can be combined, for example in the exit line above, the text would be “<control><shift>q” to set the exit shortcut to <span class="key">Ctrl</span> + <span class="key">Shift</span> + <span class="key">Q</span>.</p> <hr id="bottomseparator" /> <div class="navbottom"> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0"> <col id="navbottom_col1" width="33%"></col> <col id="navbottom_col2" width="33%"></col> <col id="navbottom_col3" width="33%"></col> <tr> <th> <p class="previous"><a href="main_window_navigation.html">Previous</a> </p> </th> <th> <p class="navbottom_title"><a href="index.html">Contents</a> </p> </th> <th> <p class="next"><a href="main_window_layout.html">Next</a> </p> </th> </tr> </table> </div> <div class="footer">Geeqie User Manual</div> <div class="bottomspacer"> </div> </body> </html>
