Custom Shortcuts

VNote supports customing some standard shortcuts, though it is not recommended. VNote stores shortcuts' configuration information in the [shortcuts] and [captain_mode_shortcuts] sections of user configuration file vnote.ini.

For example, the default configruation may look like this:

[shortcuts]
; Define shortcuts here, with each item in the form "operation=keysequence".
; Leave keysequence empty to disable the shortcut of an operation.
; Custom shortcuts may conflict with some key bindings in edit mode or Vim mode.
; Ctrl+Q is reserved for quitting VNote.

; Leader key of Captain mode
CaptainMode=Ctrl+E
; Create a note in current folder
NewNote=Ctrl+Alt+N
; Save current note
SaveNote=Ctrl+S
; Save changes and enter read mode
SaveAndRead=Ctrl+T
; Edit current note
EditNote=Ctrl+W
; Close current note
CloseNote=
; Open file/replace dialog
Find=Ctrl+F
; Find next occurence
FindNext=F3
; Find previous occurence
FindPrevious=Shift+F3

[captain_mode_shortcuts]
; Define shortcuts in Captain mode here.
; There shortcuts are the sub-sequence after the CaptainMode key sequence
; in [shortcuts].

; Move current tab one split left
MoveTabSplitLeft=Shift+H
; Move current tab one split right
MoveTabSplitRight=Shift+L
; Create a vertical split

Each item is in the form operation=keysequence, with keysequence empty to disable shortcuts for that operation.

Pay attention that Ctrl+Q is reserved for quitting VNote.
