My opinion: JMRI has done a pretty much "thorough" job of _not_ providing what I think would be a "good thing". I believe "nowhere" may be the case! But I generally do not use a bunch of the things that JMRI can do, so I don't know if that is true.

FWIW, it would probably take a BUNCH of code changes to make JMRI have keyboard shortcuts throughout - so many changes that it is not reasonable to try to add them now. I suppose someone could try, but that effort would likely be based on the coder's choices, and probably would not match your preferences...
 

Layout Editor and Control Panel Editor have some shortcuts. ?LogixNG has a set for the main editor. ?The macOS version of JMRI includes cmd-Q for Quit and cmd-, for Preferences. ?ctrl/cmd-w can be used to close windows.

thanks... thought so... kinda hoping they were in there but hidden... I have a nice USB multi tool with assignable buttons and knobs and I was considering how to use it to make control of JMRI easier and a bit slicker.?
cheers

What, specifically, would you want that multi tool to be able to do?

It would be really useful if cut/copy/paste shortcuts were available on the Mac for text fields. For example, in DecoderPro for function labels, which I have to type in from LokSound projects.

Gopal,

Have you tried using standard shortcuts to paste into text fields?

The system default text edit context menu (Right mouse button) for text areas
with the LCC windows under Linux are available. I presume these are available
with DecoderPro.

The usual cut, copy, paste for text works on Windows. Cntl-X, Cntl-C, and Cntl-V.

?

But it may also be a function of the ¡®look and feel¡¯ selected in the Preferences. I always pick ¡®Metal¡¯ for my systems. You may have to try a few combos. But do a Save and Restart of JMRI after making a change.

Unfortunately cmd-x, cmd-c, cmd-v do not work. ?Right clicking does bring up a contextual menu which allows for cut/copy/paste. This works, but is slower and not as familiar as the keyboard shortcuts.

Gopal,

If you are using the Metal L&F, then you need to use the control key instead of the command key.

I would really like undo as I always make a mistake right before I make a big change and have not saved.?

But I understand undo is a lot more than just adding a keyboard shortcut.?

Shortcut keys work after changing appearance to Mac OS X. ?Thanks for the suggestion.
