Defining Custom Shortcuts

To create a Mari shortcut customization file:

1.

Copy the Mari default shortcuts file, DefaultShortcuts.conf, from the following sub-directory of the Mari application directory:

• Media/Settings (on Linux),

• Bundle\Media\Settings (on Windows), or

• Media/Settings (on Mac).

2.

Rename the file as a custom shortcuts file: Shortcuts.conf.

3.

Edit the file, replacing the defaults with your custom shortcuts.

4.

Save the file in the following sub-directory of your home directory:

• .config/TheFoundry (on Linux),

• .mari\TheFoundry (on Windows), or

• .config/TheFoundry (on Mac).

Tip:  If you set an illegal key combination in the Shortcuts.conf file, Mari ignores the line. For example, the following lines would be ignored:

Mari\Tools\General\Select=Tab (you cannot use tab as part of a shortcut)
Mari\Tools\General\Transform%20Paint=Altw (needs a + between the two characters).

If the same function key is assigned to more than one function, Mari ignores both settings and uses the defaults. If a function is assigned to more than one key combination, Mari uses the defaults.
