<h1>13 Customizing Ipe</h1>
<p>A few features of the Ipe user interface can be changed in the
<em>Preferences</em> dialog (in the <em>Help</em> menu).
<p>Ipe contains support for localizing the user interface into another
language. Contact me if you wish to do such a localization project.
<p>The keyboard shortcuts used by Ipe can be customized to your personal
taste. From the command line, run Ipe as
<pre>
ipe -savekeys ipekeys.qm
</pre>
This will save Ipe's untranslated keys into the file
<i>ipekeys.qm</i>. Translate <i>ipekeys.qm</i> into XML format using
<code>qm2ts</code> (from Qt 3), edit the resulting <i>ipekeys.ts</i> file
(you can discard definitions you do not wish to change, but see the
note in the example below), and compile back into <i>.qm</i> format
using <code>lrelease</code>. Install the resulting file as
<i>.ipe/ipekeys.qm</i> in your home directory, and restart Ipe.
<p>Here is an example of an edited <i>ipekeys.ts</i> by Kostas Oikonomou:
<pre>
<!DOCTYPE TS><TS>
<context>
<name>Key</name>
<message>
<source>Ctrl+V</source>
<comment>Edit|Paste</comment>
<translation>F18</translation>
</message>
<message>
<source>Ctrl+X</source>
<comment>Edit|Cut</comment>
<translation>F20</translation>
</message>
<comment>
If this is not here, although it's unchanged from the default setting,
File|New Window will show as Ctrl+X,Ctrl+C, because of the translation for
File|Exit, which also has source "none". Tricky! Same goes for other
similar situations.

<translation>none</translation>

<message>
<source>none</source>
<comment>File|Save as bitmap</comment>
<translation>none</translation>
</message>
<message>
<source>none</source>
<comment>File|Exit</comment>
<translation>Ctrl+X,Ctrl+C</translation>
</message>
</context>
</TS>
</pre>
<p>If you are using Qt version 3.1.0 or higher (see <em>Help menu</em>,
<em>About Ipe</em> if you don't know), you can use shortcuts consisting
of more than one key, such as <em>Ctrl+X,Ctrl+C</em> as in the example
above (use commas to separate the key presses--up to four are
supported).
