| | =====Customizing Rosegarden===== |
| | |
| | ====How do I modify keyboard shortcuts?==== |
| | |
| | The is no simple method. The current work around requires some command line calls, a text editor and a bit of searching. Rosegarden shortcuts are defined in XML files with extensions .rc which are located in |
| | |
| | <code> |
| | <build-tree-path>/data/rc/ |
| | </code> |
| | |
| | where <build-tree-path> is the path to where Rosegarden is installed. |
| | |
| | The hardest part is deciding which .rc file contains the shortcuts that need modified. Look through the rc directory to find good candidates files. |
| | |
| | Here is a sample of the process needed to update the Transport play shortcuts to include the Space bar: |
| | |
| | * Type at the command line: |
| | <code> |
| | $ mkdir -p ~/.local/share/rosegarden/rc |
| | $ cp <build-tree-path>/data/rc/rosegardenmainwindow.rc ~/.local/share/rosegarden/rc/ |
| | </code> |
| | Replace <build-tree-path> with the path to the installation directory. |
| | |
| | * Open ~/.local/share/rosegarden/rc/rosegardenmainwindow.rc in a text editor. |
| | * Change the line: |
| | <code> |
| | <Action name="play" text="&Play" icon="transport-play" shortcut="Enter, Media Play, Ctrl+Return" shortcut-context="application" /> |
| | </code> |
| | |
| | to |
| | |
| | <code> |
| | <Action name="play" text="&Play" icon="transport-play" shortcut="Enter, Media Play, Ctrl+Return, Space" shortcut-context="application" /> |
| | </code> |
| | |
| | and the line |
| | |
| | <code> |
| | <Action name="recordtoggle" text="P&unch in Record" icon="transport-record" shortcut="Space" shortcut-context="application" /> |
| | </code> |
| | |
| | to |
| | |
| | <code> |
| | <Action name="recordtoggle" text="P&unch in Record" icon="transport-record" shortcut="" shortcut-context="application" /> |
| | </code> |
| | |
| | Note: Both need changed, otherwise the second one overrides the first. |
| | |
| | * Save the file. |
| | * Run Rosegarden at try to shortcut. |
| | |
| | This is a complicated example, but many more are much less complicated. For a list of shortcut key names see: [[http://doc.trolltech.com/4.6/qkeysequence.html]] |
