<title>Keyboard shortcuts</title>
<p>Keyboard shortcuts are combinations of keys that allow you to perform
actions, such as opening the settings dialog or accessing a feature inside
<app>Terminal</app> quickly. These shortcuts can be modified to suit your
preferences.</p>
<p>To change a keyboard shortcut:</p>
<steps>
<item>
<p>Press the menu button in the top-right corner of the window and select
<gui style="menuitem">Preferences</gui>.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>In the sidebar, select <gui>Shortcuts</gui>.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Make sure <gui style="checkbox">Enable shortcuts</gui> is selected.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Select the shortcut that you wish to edit by clicking on it.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Once the shortcut is selected, click on the shortcut key combination
to edit it.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Press your desired shortcut key combination as you would enter it to
use it. The keys that you can use include <key>Alt</key>,
<key>Alt Gr</key>, <key>Ctrl</key>, <key>Shift</key>, <key>Super</key>,
number and letter keys.</p>
<note>
<p>Mnemonic key combinations, such as <keyseq><key>Alt</key>
<key>F</key></keyseq> will not work.</p>
</note>
</item>
<item>
<p>Once you have entered your new shortcut, it will automatically be
saved and you should see it in the list next to the corresponding
action.</p>
</item>
</steps>
<note style="tip">
<p>To disable a shortcut, edit it and press the <key>Backspace</key>
instead of the new shortcut.</p>
