Shortcut Keys

Pressing the Tab key will focus on the text command line for manually entering a command.

Pressing the Esc key will toggle the visibility of the toolbars.

All other shortcut key strokes are displayed next to the menu items.

Shortcut keys can either be a 1-stroke or 2-stroke shortcut. 1-stroke shortcuts requires pressing the Ctrl key (or Cmd key on Macs) and shortcut key simultaneously. 2-stroke shortcuts require pressing the pressing the Ctrl key and first shortcut key simultaneously, then letting go of both keys. Then pressing the second key.

There are currently two defined sets of shortcut key definitions: brachys and syntemno.

Custom shortcut key definitions

You can define your own sets of shortcut key definitions. Copy shortcut.py and name it shortcut_myshortcuts.py. Modify shortcut_myshortcuts.py in an editor with the shortcut keys you want to use. When you launch UBA, you'll see myshortcuts as a selection for shortcut options in the menu. Any file that matches shortcut_*.py will be loaded into the menu. The selected shortcut definition will then be set as the default shortcut key definition after UBA is restarted.

Currently, you can only modify a shortcut key definition. It is not possible to add a new definition unless the code also changes. Contact the developers if you want to add a new shortcut key assignment.
