KLayout Keyboard Shortcuts

luismaie

Hello,

In order to increase my work speed, I've added and changed a lot of keyboard shortcuts for KLayout. For a better overview I also created a keyboard overview:

If one wants to use the same keyboard layout you have to overwrite the line in the "klayoutrc" file with the following code:

Hopefully this will help others.

P.S.: If you know how to scale down the image, let me know.

Cool thing :-)

If you scale it down, the text won't be readable, so it's perfect :-)

Thanks at lot,
