Keymaps

The keymap package maps keyboard input events into a keymap.Functions enum, which has a standard list of app functions that are typically activated by keyboard events. Settings allow the user to select from a set of different standard keyboard mappings, which are documented in the tables on this page.

As a programmer, it is best to use these standard functions in your app wherever possible, so that the standard keyboard mappings will automatically apply, including any custom mappings the user may have set up. See key function and button events for usage examples.

Global shortcuts

Function	Key
Settings	`Control+,`
Inspector	`Control+Shift+I`
Snapshot (grab)	`Control+Shift+G`

On Mac, use the Command key ⌘ instead of Control, except for Snapshot.

Snapshot saves a PNG image and an SVG vector representation of the current window.
