A) Global shortcuts

 

Situation

I want to replace CTRL+L  (logout user from administration) shortcut with CTRL+ALT+DELETE

Solution

  1. Find keymap.ini file stored in
    /plugins/system/cdhotkeys/extensions/globals directory.
  2. Find ctrl+l line and change the shortcut to alt+ctrl+delete (alphabetically):

    Before: ctrl+l=logout
    After: alt+ctrl+delete=logout

  3. Save file.

 

B) Contextual (Article Manager)

 

Situation

I want to replace ESC (quit article editing) shortcut with CTRL+Q

Solution

  1. Find keymap.ini file stored in
    /plugins/system/cdhotkeys/extensions/com_content directory.


    Why "com_content"? Because it's part of URL option argument:

    Option preview

  2. Find esc line and change the shortcut to ctrl+q (alphabetically):

    Before: esc=cancel
    After: ctrl+q=cancel

  3. Save file.
