Description Victor Varvaryuk 2009-07-07 11:43:35 UTC

Version:           2.3.0 (using KDE 4.2.90)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I would like Gwenview to have some shortcut keys for image view and management. Right now i am using XnView on Windows and i find some of its shortcut keys very usable, especially for zooming (space for next, +, -, *, / on numpad for zooming).

Here is the list of shortcut keys form XnView documentation:

You can define keyboard shortcuts to match XnView through the "Settings > Configure Shortcut..." menu.

Comment 2 Victor Varvaryuk 2009-08-25 10:37:45 UTC

Thanks for the reply.
I have two questions^
1. Can an action have several shortcuts - so for example zoom in would be both ctrl++ and numpad+?
2. I can name new scheme xnview and export it. But how do i import saved shortcut schemes in Gwenview - i havent found such feature?

Thanks

P.S. I meant default shortcuts, but thanks anyway

Yes, you can set one in the "Shortcut" column and another one in the "Alternate" column.

Oh. I wasn't even aware the shortcut dialog had such a feature. This dialog is a standard KDE dialog, not something I implemented for Gwenview, so I can't help here.
