Modify the keyboard shortcuts in Dashboard Editor

Question

How do you modify the keyboard shortcuts in Dashboard Editor?

Answer

The keyboard shortcut keys for the Dashboard Editor can be modified through a configuration file. In JViews, an immediate command triggered by a specific keyboard event is called accelerator.

You can change the shortcut keys by editing the configuration file named dashboard.properties located in the jviews-diagrammer-all.jar:

ilog/views/dashboard/dashboard.properties

1. Backup the jviews-diagrammer-all.jar file

2. Extract the dashboard.properties file mentioned above

3. Search for "AcceleratorKey" properties in the file and change the ones you want

4. Update the jar file with the new version of the properties file.

Note: You can modify the shortcut keys for:

- the Symbol Editor with the

ilog/views/symbology/builder/symboldesigner.properties file located in the jviews-framework-all.jar

- or the Symbol Compiler with the

ilog/views/symbol/compiler/compiler.properties file located in the jviews-diagrammer-all.jar
