Key Map Editor


The key map editor is displayed by choosing Settings->Key map from the menu in the Java code editor dialog or the string edit dialog.
  The active key map controls all key bindings in the editor. By default, the [Default] key map is active. The default key map cannot be edited directly. To customize key bindings, you first have to copy the default key map. Except for the default key map, the name of a key map can be edited by double-clicking on it.

When assigning new keystrokes or removing existing key strokes from a copied map, the changes to the base key map will be shown as "overridden" in the list of bindings.

The key map editor also features search functionality for locating bindings as well a conflict resolution mechanism.

  Key bindings are saved in the file $HOME/.install4j7/editor_keymap.xml. This file only exists if the default key map has been copied. When migrating an install4j installation to a different computer, you can copy this file.
