Raccourcis clavier

By default, Haiku's shortcut key, to invoke commands from menus for example, is not the usual CTRL key, but ALT instead. This has historical reasons, because the BeOS was inspired somewhat by MacOS. After you get used to it, it actually has advantages as e.g. ALT C and ALT V integrate seamlessly into the bash shell of the Terminal, where CTRL C quits the running process.

In any case, you can switch to the maybe more familiar CTRL key in the Keymap preferences. The user guide will always describes the default configuration with the command key being ALT.

If you're in doubt which keys are the OPT or MENU keys on your particular keymap/keyboard-layout, again use the Keymap preferences. There you can see what keystroke is sent when you press a key on your keyboard.

index Autres combinaisons de touches

Vous pouvez ajouter ou supprimer des éléments de/à une sélection en appuyant sur une touche de modification en cliquant sur une entrée (ou un fichier dans le cas du Tracker).

MAJCela permet de sélectionner tout les éléments entre le premier sélectionné et celui sur lequel vous cliquez.
ALTAjoute ou retire l'élément sur lequel vous cliquez de la sélection.

In a Tracker window, if you just start typing, Tracker scrolls to and selects the file that best fits your incremental search. If there's no file starting with your typed letters, files that contain the search string anywhere in their name or other displayed attributes are selected. This search is not case-sensitive.
The letters you type appear at the bottom-left, where normally the number of items is listed. After a second it reverts back and you could start a new incremental search.
