Problem with keyboard shortcuts for desktop icon (ALTERNATIVE found)

I did experiments. The problem has come. Desktop Icon>>Right Click>>Edit Item. Only two hotkeys are assigned at a time(Control+z or Shift+z), but three(Control+Shift+z) are not assigned at once. Please remind me where ROX(or something else) stores these settings?

I don't know where is your problem. I can make this:

at least in Slacko64 6.3.2.

Don't know about "something else" but for ROX-Filer it would be the pinboard file (normally /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin)

Thanks. Through the settings file it turns out. But with GUI no. I will look for what is in the way.

Which key-combinations are doing what is defined in:
/root/.jwm/jwmrc-personal
for example:
<Key key="Up">up</Key> ----> press key up is starting shortnamed command (from jwm) 'up'
<Key key="Down">down</Key> ----> press key down is starting shortnamed command (from jwm) 'down'
<Key mask="A" key="Tab">next</Key> --> 'Alt-key (mask=A) plus Tab-key are starting shortnamed command (from jwm) 'next'
<Key mask="4" key="c">exec:xclip -o | xclip -sel clip </Key> ---> WinKey(mask=4) plus 'c' starts shellcommand (exec:) for copy selected part to clipboard
<Key mask="4" key="C">exec:xclip -o | xclip -sel clip </Key> ---> same, with a great C, don't know, if necessary

Which shortnamed commands exist, is documented in jwm

But I don't know, if that definitions define all the key-kombinations for other programms or if there is additionaly another place to do it.

hope it helps, Eastler

P.S: /root/.jwm/jwmrc-personal ist the file in upup-ef. Check /root/.jwmrc,
go through all included files (( <Include>/root/.jwm/jwmrc-tray1</Include> )) with texteditor/geany
to see, in which of the jwm-files keys are defined ;-)

Yup; I have to agree with puppy_apprentice.

Keyboard shortcuts are not something that are very high on my list of "priorities", it's true.....but this:-

.....works nicely for me as a 'quick' launcher for Tixati. However, this IS in one of the 'Quirkies'.....which were where BK did a lot of experimenting, and trying out of new ideas. Could be a default thing? I couldn't say...

The reason has not yet been found out. At first I thought it was the GoldenDict dictionary sitting in system tray.
But I manually wrote in PuppyPin shortcut="Control+Super+Hyper+z" I can live with that.
