I'm wondering if there is any way to create a shortcut key to the Extensions>Generate From Path>Inset/Outset Halo function. I use this a lot and would love to be able to have a shortcut. I have figured out creating/changing shortcuts in the default.xml file and putting in my personal default file directory, but not sure what/if action I would use for the Inset/Outset Halo function. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
If you are using Inkscape 1+ , is there a reason why you are editing the xml file.
It can be done that way, but Edit>Preferences>Interface>keyboard shortcuts allows you to search for the extension and double click the shortcut column.
It then asks for you to press a key combination ( accelerator ) and warns of any conflicts with existing shortcuts.
If you do want the code for a halo shortcut though, this is what my default.xml looks like. ( Using Ctrl+O - overrides default 'open file' shortcut )
"Double-click on the shortcut column" is a bit of a hidden operation. Not knowing that I'd already given up double-clicking around. It definitely needs
a hint somewhere, or
let you double-click anywhere on the whole line, or
Thank you both, inklinea and ian. I got it! First I am not a programmer (have html coding experience) so I'm figuring this out thru trial and error and determination. I definitely didn't know about the double-clicking on the shortcut and didn't realize that the "new accelerator" was the prompt for my shortcut keys. That is SO MUCH EASIER! So, now I know how to do it two different ways! Thanks so much!!
