Hi,

I'm a new user to Inkscape, and I like this program a lot.
The problem is, that I got an Azerty keyboard (I live in Belgium).
Because of this, the shortcuts are somehow "uncomfortable".
(for example, if I want to scale something (with >) I have to press "alt+shift+<",
but the command for switching from azerty to querty is "alt+shift"...)

So, my question is: how can I change the key bindings in Inkscape?

Thx

The keys are defined in ../share/keys/default.xml. You can modify this file for your new keybindings. You'll find some other files you can also use but you'll need to rename them to "default.xml" for Inkscape to use them (I believe).

Ok, thanks.
I'll have to figure out first what the >< and [] signs are called in english, but anyway, thanks a lot.

If you mean names of these signs, here they are:

> - greater than
< - less then
[ - left square bracket
] - right square bracket

I don't think that is what they are refered to as for the purpose of defining hotkeys in default.xml - which is what I think JosFlos is after.

Having said that, I'm not sure the hotkeys for rotate and scale are defined in default.xml. I can't find a reference to the keys or function.

Yeah, I didn't find something about those functions too. I'm afraid those can't be changed, or am I wrong?

It may be that they need exposing as verbs, try asking on the developer mailing list, if you explain what your wanting to do, and why (compatibility with azerty keyboard) then someone will probably either help you find what your after or code it
