The LinKT Manual: Shortcuts

## Shortcuts

This is a list of LinKT's keyboard shortcuts

### CTRL-commands

Shortcut | Explanation
--- | ---
`CTRL+A`..`Z` You cannot enter control characters directly; instead press `^` first, then the desired key. To send e.g. a `CTRL-z` to finish a message you have entered at your BBS, you have to use ^z instead, LinKT will convert it to the correct character. To send `^`itself, you have to escape it, i.e. send it twice, viz. `^^`
Warning: If you have disabled the "nodeadkeys" option in your X11 configuration, the `^` will not appear until you have pressed the second key. If the second key is a vocal character, you will have to press space after the ^-key, then the control-key.
`CTRL+C` | Opens the BoxCheck window. The type of the remote station must be "mailbox" and the BoxCheck type has to be configured. The BoxCheck window will not appear, if there hasn't been any message list received so far.
`CTRL+0`..`9` | These shortcuts will transmit text modules which you can define using `File Preferences Shortcuts` on the current connection.
`CTRL-/` | LinKT jumps to the QSO-selection and you can switch between connections. As soon as you release `CTRL` LinKT jumps to the highlighted connection.

### ALT-Shortcuts

Shortcut | Explanation |
--- | --- | ---
`Alt+A` | Opens the "away"- dialog
`Alt+B` | send file using AutoBin
`Alt+C` | Opens the connect-Dialog
`Alt+D` | Disconnect
`Alt+F` | Upload (Text)
`Alt+M` | Switches to main window. If the current window is the main window, LinKT will switch to the last used channel.
`Alt+P` | Triggers password processing. You have to define the passwords at the `properties`.
`Alt+S` | Properties
`Alt+T` | Text-RX
`Alt+7` | 7plus-Upload
`Alt+F4` | Disconnect (same as `Alt-D`)

### Function Keys

You may define these using `CallKey`

### Other keys

`Esc` hides the current window; LinKT then switches to the main window.
