Not clear to me yet. A real life example: I want to assign the key "C" to the "Copy Component" command. So, I followed the above given steps and added the following line in the file eeschema.key, in the section [eeschema] (just after the "begin Wire" command): shortcut "C": "Copy Component" After closing and re-opening EeSchema, I don't see that new key. It's not clear to me what is allowed between the second pair of "" signs. I assume it's the (exact?) text you see when you do the same action via the menu? If you want to copy a component, the only item available via the pop-up menu is "Copy Component", so I took exactly the same string (taking into account the caps too) to define my hotkey to copy components. What is wrong with this approach? Best rgds, --Geert
