| | 4 | This section allows to configure keyboard shortcuts in JOSM. |
| | 5 | |
| | 6 | Please note that shortcut keys are assigned to the actions when JOSM is started. So you need to **restart** JOSM to see your changes. |
| | 7 | |
| | 8 | Furthermore, the shortcuts are activated when the actions are assigned to a menu entry or a button for the first time it is used in the current session. |
| | 9 | So some of your changes may become active even without restart. But without a restart there is no collision handling for your changes. This is another |
| | 10 | reason to **restart** JOSM after making any changes here. |
| | 11 | |
| | 12 | You may notice that the key selection list on the next page lists all keys that exist on all kinds of keyboards |
| | 13 | Java knows about, not just those keys that exist on your keyboard. Please only use values that correspond to |
| | 14 | a real key on your keyboard. If your keyboard has no <Copy> key (PC keyboard do not have them, Sun keyboards do), |
| | 15 | then do not use it. Also there are 'keys' listed that correspond to a shortcut on your keyboard (e.g. <:>/Colon). |
| | 16 | Please do not use them either, use the base key (<;>/Semicolon on US keyboards, <.>/Period on German keyboards, etc.) |
| | 17 | instead. Not doing so may result in conflicts, as there is no way for JOSM to know that <Ctrl>+<Shift>+<;> and <Ctrl>+<:> |
| | 18 | actually is the same thing on an US keyboard. |
