Hotkey Catalogue
 
 
 

A catalogue of hotkeys is maintained for every user. If the user profile was created in the default home directory, the catalogue is found in /usr/discreet/user/effects/<user_name>/hotkey. If the user profile was created elsewhere, the catalogue is found in <user home directory>/hotkey. The hotkeys in the hotkey catalogue are stored in the following formats:

Where: Means:
<component> The module containing the hotkey.
default The keystroke that is currently in use.
factory The Autodesk factory default.
butt A button hotkey.
func A non-button function hotkey.

User-modified hotkeys are stored in a separate file: default.<component>.butt.hotkey.user. This file is loaded after the system hotkey file, default.<component>.butt.hotkey. Entries in the user-modified hotkey file replace the system hotkey entries, with the exception of cloned hotkeys, which are duplicated.

NoteYou can copy hotkey preferences between users in the Project Management menu when starting Flame. Duplicated hotkeys are displayed in red in the hotkey catalogue. See Creating User Profiles.
