This page provides a listing of the agreed upon shortcuts for the system at large and for various controls within the activities, which should be referenced for consistency across them. For a high-level philosophical on the usage of various modifier keys, please refer to the [[OLPC Human Interface Guidelines/The Sugar Interface/Input Systems#Keyboard Shortcuts|HIG]]. |

=== Not in terminal === |
|||
A terminal window sends Ctrl+''key'' combinations to the program you are running, so most of these key combinations don't work. |
|||
In release [[8.1.0]] and subsequent releases, to copy or paste in the [[Terminal Activity]], press Shift-Ctrl-c or Shift-Ctrl-v. |
|||
==Using modifier keys in combination== |
|||
Note about the use of modifier keys: there are several (slightly) different ways in which key combinations are indicated in the wiki. Whenever you see combinations separated by either a - or + this means to press these keys together, starting with the modifier keys. The last key in the sequence should be pressed while holding down the modifier key(s). For example: |
|||
Shift-A (or Shift+A) means hold the Shift key down and ''then'' press the A key ''while holding down the Shift key''. This will create a capital letter A. (The order is important: if you press the A key first, the result will be a lower case a.) |
|||
Ctrl-Alt-Erase (or Ctrl+Alt+Erase) means hold down both the Ctrl and Alt keys and ''then'' press the Erase key. This will restart Sugar/X Windows. (Again, the order is important: if you press the Erase key first, the result will be a backspace.) |
