Question

Is there a way to configure the "access keys" used for selecting editing functions? I would like to rebind to a different key combination or ideally use a different "modifier" key.

Working on the Mac I keep expecting emacs style cursor control to work but some of those key combinations are specified as action keys (ctrl-p in particular causes me problems.)

If you answer a question - or have a question you asked answered by someone - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status is in a drop-down list below the edit box.

If you looking at the file twiki/templates/viewtopicactionbuttons.pattern.tmpl or the appropriate one for whatever skin you are using if you have changed the skin from the default, find an entry something like

%TMPL:DEF{"printable"}%<a ref="%SCRIPTURLPATH{"view"}%/%WEB%/%TOPIC%?template=viewprint%REVARG%" title="%MAKETEXT{"Printable version of this topic"}%" accesskey="P" rel="nofollow">%MAKETEXT{"&Printable"}%</a>%TMPL:END%

This accesskey is what defines what is the key used for a certain function. You could modify the skin to change it to whatever key you want it to be.

With TWiki 4.1 the access key strings are defined in the /locale language files.
