[[TranslatedPages(outdated=This page needs more information. The new possibility to set shortcuts is not mentioned at all.)]] = Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts = This section allows to configure keyboard shortcuts in JOSM. Please note that shortcut keys are assigned to the actions when JOSM is started. So you need to **restart** JOSM to see your changes. 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. 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 reason to **restart** JOSM after making any changes here. You may notice that the key selection list on the next page lists all keys that exist on all kinds of keyboards Java knows about, not just those keys that exist on your keyboard. Please only use values that correspond to a real key on your keyboard. If your keyboard has no key (PC keyboard do not have them, Sun keyboards do), then do not use it. Also there are 'keys' listed that correspond to a shortcut on your keyboard (e.g. <:>/Colon). Please do not use them either, use the base key (<;>/Semicolon on US keyboards, <.>/Period on German keyboards, etc.) instead. Not doing so may result in conflicts, as there is no way for JOSM to know that ++<;> and +<:> actually is the same thing on an US keyboard. == See also == * [[Shortcuts]] - some of the default hotkeys * [[DevelopersGuide/ShortcutsList]] - automatically generated list (not very human-readable) ---- Back to [wiki:/Help/Action/Preferences Preferences][[Br]] Back to [wiki:Help Main Help]
