Customizing Shortcuts (Keymap)
You can view, search, and rebind keyboard shortcuts directly inside LogViewer by opening File > Settings > Keymap (or selecting Help > Keyboard Shortcuts... from the menu bar):
- Instant Search: Filter the shortcut table by category, action name, or key combination.
- Rebind Any Action: Double-click an action row (or click Change Shortcut...) and press your desired key combination. Customized shortcuts are highlighted in bold.
- Conflict Detection: LogViewer automatically checks for keybinding collisions within the same or global activation scope and warns you before overriding existing bindings.
- One-Click Reset: Restore an individual shortcut with Reset Selected, or revert all shortcuts to their platform defaults with Reset All to Defaults.
