Keymap Editor

The Keymap Editor dialog displays any customizations made to the current keymap. Using the editor you can define additional key mappings, open saved keymap files and create new keymap files.

The large area in the center of the Keymap Editor dialog displays the defined keymap customizations. The Key column on the left displays the key combination whose function has been customized and the Function column displays the effect that pressing this particular key combination will cause.

The buttons on the bottom of the Keymap Editor dialog allow you to customize the keymap settings of the current keymap file:
