<h1>Shortcuts and key combinations</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>By default, Haiku's shortcut key, to invoke commands from menus for example, is not the usual <span class="key">CTRL</span> key, but <span class="key">ALT</span> 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. <span class="key">ALT</span> <span class="key">C</span> and <span class="key">ALT</span> <span class="key">V</span> integrate seamlessly into the <acronym title="Bourne Again Shell">bash</acronym> shell of the Terminal, where <span class="key">CTRL</span> <span class="key">C</span> quits the running process.</p>
|
|
<p>In any case, you can switch to the maybe more familiar <span class="key">CTRL</span> key in the <a href="preferences/keymap.html">Keymap</a> preferences. The user guide will always describes the default configuration with the command key being <span class="key">ALT</span>.</p>
|
|
<p>If you're in doubt which keys are the <span class="key">OPT</span> or <span class="key">MENU</span> keys on your particular keymap/keyboard-layout, again use the <a href="preferences/keymap.html">Keymap</a> preferences. There you can see what keystroke is sent when you press a key on your keyboard.</p>

<p>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 <i>not</i> case-sensitive.<br />
|
|
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.</p>
