This appendix lists keybindings (also known as Keyboard shortcuts or hotkeys) that can be used in the Gramps dialogs as an alternative to using the mouse.

Some keybindings require the user to press a single key or a sequence of keys one after the other. Other keybindings require pressing and holding several keys simultaneously.

Keybindings may depend on the keyboard layout (localization) and on your computer’s Operating System.

Context menu

A context pop-up menu shows limited number of choice related to the currently selected item in a Graphical User Interface. The menu appears with right-click on an item in operating systems with a 2 or 3 button mouse. In the one button mouse macOS, a Ctrl-click will bring up the Contextual Menus.

Keybindings:

  • In Windows, the Menu Key (aka application key) will show the context menu for the active field. Alternately, the ⇧ Shift+F10 keyboard shortcut, or sometimes Ctrl+⇧ Shift+F10
  • In macOS, users will need to enable the Universal Access settings in the System Preferences.

Quick navigation to an object

The clipboard has a navigation shortcut. Copy any object to the Clipboard (by drag'n'drop or by selecting and pressing the Ctrl+C keybinding), then select the object on the Clipboard and right-click to reveal the Clipboard's contextual pop-up menu. The bottom menu item will offer to make the selected object active. The View will not navigate to the object's category.
