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 Hi there, I have the same problem with the hotkeys. After installing KiCad and defining a hotkey file (for PCBnew) I placed the line shortcut Ctrl U:Save board as... to save the current changes with a new filenumber with a simple shortcut. But after saving the file and rereading the file in PCBnew nothing happens by pressing Ctrl U. The predefined hotkeys work properly. And also it is no problem to change the predefined shortcuts. When I change Find component from Ctrl F to Ctrl W save the file and reread the file the component finding dialog opens by pressing Ctrl W. Is this a bug or simple a misunderstanding of the instructions? I mean that it could be possible the developers only meant to change the predefined shortcuts to more suitable ones and not adding new shortcuts to the list. I come to this point when I see others having exactly the same problem as myself. Greetings. Björn

I looked closer to the hotkey-list and found that Ctrl U was already used by Switch Units. So I changes my Save Board As... to F12 which was a free hotkey. But unfortunately the result stays the same. Greetings, Björn
