Settings Configure Shortcuts

  Opens a dialog which allows you to configure the &krusader; key bindings.

  With the Import shortcuts and Export shortcuts buttons you can load and save a Key-binding profile. This allows &krusader; to have the &tcmd;, &mc;, foo-commander, or your custom Key-bindings. The only limitation is that global &kde; key-bindings and some &krusader; key-bindings can not be changed yet, as well as some features in foo-commander that we either do not have or need. The Key-bindings are stored in `$KDEDIR/share/apps/krusader`, `foo.keymap.info` contains a description, `foo.keymap` is an ini file that holds the Key-bindings. Until &krusader;-1.70.1 this was a binary file, &krusader; is backwards compatible for importing this legacy binary format. If a `*.keymap.info` text file exists, &krusader; will display it, showing additional information regarding the loaded Key-bindings file. Here you have a chance to exit without importing the proposed Key-bindings file.

  A &tcmd; Key-bindings file is provided. Please upload your favorite Key-bindings schemes so that they become available for the &krusader; community. Thanks!
