Shortcuts

Find, filter and edit the app's keyboard shortcuts.

Ajustes > Atalhos (Settings > Shortcuts) lists the app’s keyboard shortcuts and lets you change them.

Finding a shortcut

There are two paths:

  • Search by command — type the name of the action you want to run.
  • Search by key — type the combination, to find out what it already does.

When nothing matches what you typed, the screen says so instead of showing an empty list with no explanation.

Filtering

Four filters narrow the list:

Filter Shows
All The complete list
Changed Only what you already changed
Without keys Commands left with no combination
In conflict Commands fighting over the same combination

A conflict is a state of its own. Two commands with the same combination are not “the same”: they fight over the same key, and the filter exists so you can find that fight.

Editing a shortcut

  1. Find the command in the list.
  2. Use the row’s edit control.
  3. Provide the new combination.
  4. Check whether the result landed in In conflict — if it did, resolve it before moving on.

Other blocks in the section

  • Number shortcuts — defines what the number combinations reach: everything, tabs only or cards only.
  • In the terminal — defines who gets the key first: Elyra or the terminal. It is the decision that keeps an app shortcut from stealing a key the program inside the terminal needs.
  • Shortcuts file — the file where persisted combinations live.

Combinations differ per system

Labels and combinations differ between macOS, Windows and Linux, and the screen shows the combination for your system. Two consequences:

  • Never expect to see Cmd on Windows or Linux. The equivalent exists with the system’s key.
  • Combinations captured by the operating system may never reach the app. If a shortcut seems not to work, the system may be consuming the key first.

Result

  • The chosen combinations take effect and are persisted.
  • The Changed filter starts showing what you touched.
  • The who-gets-the-key-first policy applies to the terminal.

Limits

  • The shortcuts file is a storage detail. Editing the file by hand is not the recommended path; the screen exists for that.
