## Keyboard Shortcuts in Amaya

Keyboard shortcuts are useful to invoke menu commands directly from the keyboard. The Thot toolkit enables you accomplish this using application keyboard shortcuts files (one per paltform). These files define a list of associations between an invoked command and a keyboard sequence. They are located in the Amaya/config directory: `amaya.keyboard` (Linux), `amaya.kb` (Windows) and `amaya.kb-mac`

- List of default keyboard shortcuts for Linux
- List of default keyboard shortcuts for Windows
- List of default keyboard shortcuts for Mac OS X

These files can be modified to define you own shortcuts. The syntax used to define an association is:

`Directive = KeySeq ':' IdentCommand ;
KeysSeq = KeySet [ ',' KeySet ] ;
KeySet = [ Modifier ] [ 'Shift' ] Key ;
Key = '<Key>' KeyValue / '<Key>' SpecialKey ;
Modifier = 'Ctrl' / 'Alt' / 'Meta' ;
KeyValue = 'a' / 'b' / ... ;
SpecialKey = 'Escape' / 'Delete' / 'Space' / 'BackSpace' /
'Enter' / 'Up' / 'Down' / 'Left' / 'Right' /
'Home' / 'End' / 'F1' / ... / 'L1' / ... / 'R1' / ... ;
IdentCommand = 'TtcInsertChar(' Char ')' / NAME '()' ;
Char = KeyValue / OctalValue / Entity ;``
OctalValue = '\' NUMBER ;
Entity = DecEntity / HexaEntity ;
DecEntity = '&' '#' NUMBER ';' ;
HexaEntity = '&' '#' 'x' HEXADECIMAL ';' ;`
