Manage Keymaps

The Manage Keymaps window is used to create, edit, rename, delete, and otherwise manage keymaps. To access this window, use Settings→Manage Keymaps.

Example Manage Keymaps window.

The window has the following elements:

Name

The name of each keymap. There are some limitations on names, for example, names must start with an alphanumeric character. Invalid names will be flagged when creating a new keymap. A keymap named "Default" must exist at all times.

Inherits

The keymap inherited by each keymap, if applicable.

Description

The optional keymap description.

Size

The number of bindings in each keymap, not including inherited bindings.

Profiles Using

The number of profiles which have each keymap assigned as their Keymap.

Keymaps Using

The number of keymaps which inherit either directly or indirectly from each keymap.

New Keymap

Creates a new empty keymap from scratch and opens it in the Keymap Editor.

Clone Keymap

Makes a copy of the selected keymap and opens it in the Keymap Editor.

Delete Keymap

Deletes the selected keymap. Any profiles using it will be reassigned to the keymap named "Default." Any keymaps inheriting it will no longer have access to its bindings. Orphaned profiles and keymaps will display a warning when being loaded in the future.

Rename Keymap

Rename the selected keymap or change its parent keymap.

Edit Keymap

Opens the selected keymap in the Keymap Editor, as EditKeymap does.

Reload Files
