"DNA": Hotkeys that sets the label for the DNA sequence.
"RNA": Hotkeys that sets the label for the RNA sequence.
“Generic”: Hotkeys that select tools and open dialog boxes
Each Hotkey is encoded in this format:
<Hotkey key="{key}" command="
{command}" value="{value}" description="
{description}”/>
key
Key is the keyboard key that invokes the command. You can assign the same key to different functions as long as the
functions are defined for different object types. For example, ‘b’ changes an atom to Boron in the Atom object type, a
bond to bold in the Bond object type, and could be assigned to the Benzene tool in the Generic object type. You can
use any key except the hard-coded keys: function keys, ENTER, SPACE, BACKSPACE, and arrow keys.
Note: Hotkeys are case sensitve. For example, you can define the hotkeys "S" and "s" to different functions
within an object type.
If a key appears more than once in the file for the same object type, the one closest to the end of the file takes prec-
edence.
command
Command is any one of the predefined command names. All available commands are described in the hotkeys.xml
file.
Note: You cannot add to the command list.
value
This is the parameter value associated with the command. For example, if the command is LABELTEXT, the value is
the label that appears. If the command is BONDDISPLAY, the value corresponds to the bond display type.
To create a hotkey that switches to a particular tool, choose TOOLMODE for a command and use any of these com-
mand names for a value:
