Change Shortcut Keys
Users can set or reassign shortcut keys for commands in Typora’s menu bar. This article will show you how to do this.
macOS
We use macOS’s system feature to customize Typora’s key bindings on macOS.
-
Open
System Preference→Keyboard, select tabShortcuts. SelectApp Shortcutsin the left panel.
-
Click the “+” button, a dialog sheet will pop up. Select “Typora.app” from the
Applicationfield, then enter the exact name of the menu command you want to add and then type the shortcut key combination you want to assign.For example, assuming you want to add/change the shortcut key to pin Typora’s window, you can fill the dialog box as follows:
Then Command+Shift+P will be the shortcut key combination for the menu command “Always On Top”.
Windows / Linux
Tip: This requires a version of Typora ≥ v0.9.16.
-
Open
Menu→Preferencein Typora, then click “Open Advanced Settings”.
-
Open and edit
conf.user.jsonfrom the opened “File Explorer”. If there’s no such file, create one. -
Set or add a JSON object which represents a key binding, for example:
-
Restart Typora. The new key binding will be applied.
You can set or change shortcut keys for menu items in the menu bar in the native window style.
