Commands with arguments #
For example:
Shortcuts [
[
Cmd = CmdCreateAnnotHighlight #00ff00 openedit
Key = a
]
]
By default a invokes CmdCreateAnnotHighlight with default yellow color.
You can over-ride a shortcut to creat green (#00ff00) highlight annotation instead and automatically open annotations edit window (openedit boolean argument).
You can create multiple keyboard shortcuts for multiple colors.
Arguments can be: strings, numbers, booleans, colors (#rrggbb or #rrggbbaa format).
Arguments have names. For example CmdCreateAnnotHighlight has color argument of type color and optional openedit boolean argument.
The format of providing arguments is: CmdCreateAnnotHighlight color: #fafafa openedit: true.
For boolean arguments name is the same as true value i.e. openedit is the same as openedit: true.
For default arguments you can skip the name. For example: color is a default CmdCreateAnnotHighlight argument so CmdCreateAnnotHighlight #fafafa is the same as CmdCreateAnnotHighlight color: #fafafa
You can combine those rules: CmdCreateAnnotHighlight #fafafa openedit is the same as CmdCreateAnnotHighlight color: #fafafa openedit: true.
Ver 3.6+
Arguments:
n : default, integer, how many lines to scroll up or down (default: 1)
Use case: if you want to speed up scrolling with j, k keys, you can re-assign them:
Shortcuts [
[
Cmd = CmdScrollDown 5
Key = j
]
[
Cmd = CmdScrollUp n: 5
Key = k
]
]
CmdGoToNextPage, CmdGoToPrevPage #
Ver 3.6+
Arguments:
n : default, integer, how many pages to advance by (default: 1)
Use case: if you want to go forward, back by more than 1 page
CmdCreateAnnotHighlight and other CmdCreateAnnot* #
Arguments:
color : default, coloropenedit : boolean, false if not givencopytoclipboard : boolean, false if not given. For higlihgt/underline etc. annotations, copies the text of annotaiton to clipboard. This used to be default behavior for built-in a etc. keyboard shortcuts but now it has to be explicitly chosen.
Use cases:
- change default color for annotations
- create multiple shortcuts for different colors
Example: change a to create green highlight annotation:
Shortcuts [
[
Cmd = CmdCreateAnnotHighlight #00ff00 openedit
Key = a
]
]
CmdZoomCustom #
Ver 3.6+
Arguments:
level : default, string or intenger, zoom level
level can be:
- a number describing zoom level in percent e.g.:
50 or 50% means 50% zoom125 means 125% zoom
- one of the virtual zoom levels:
actual size (100% zoom level)fit pagefit widthfit content
Example:
Shortcuts [
[
Cmd = CmdZoomCustom 50%
Key = z
]
]
Debugging #
If a custom shortcut defined in Shortcuts doesn’t work it could be caused by invalid command name or invalid command arguments.
We log information about unsuccessful parsing of a shortcut so
check the logs if things don’t work as expected.
