<title>Configuring &kspread; Shortcuts and Toolbars</title>
<sect1 id="configshort">
<title>Shortcuts</title>
<para>To change the shortcut key arrangements used by &kspread; select
<menuchoice><guimenu>Settings</guimenu><guimenuitem>Configure Shortcuts...
</guimenuitem></menuchoice>. This will launch a dialog box as shown below.
</para>
<mediaobject>
<imageobject>
<imagedata fileref="shortcut1.png" format="PNG"/>
</imageobject>
<textobject>
<phrase>Shortcut config screenshot 1</phrase>
</textobject>
</mediaobject>
<para>Search through the list box to find the action you want to add or
change the shortcut keys for and select it by <mousebutton>left</mousebutton>
clicking on the name. By entering the name of the action in the search bar at the
top you can quickly find the desired action. You will then be able to change the shortcut
by selecting the <guilabel>None</guilabel>, <guilabel>Default</guilabel> or
<guilabel>Custom</guilabel> radio button or by clicking on the large button in
the <guilabel>Shortcut for Selected Action</guilabel> area.</para>
<para>The <guilabel>Configure Shortcut</guilabel> dialog box will then open.
</para>
<mediaobject>
<imageobject>
<imagedata fileref="shortcut2.png" format="PNG"/>
</imageobject>
<textobject>
<phrase>Simple shortcut configuration</phrase>
</textobject>
</mediaobject>
<para>You can now simply press the key combination you want to act as the
shortcut, for example <keycombo action="simul">
&Ctrl;&Shift;<keycap>S</keycap></keycombo>. The <guilabel>Configure
Shortcut</guilabel> dialog box will then close by itself as soon as the shortcut
is configured.
</para>
<mediaobject>
<imageobject>
<imagedata fileref="shortcut3.png" format="PNG"/>
</imageobject>
<textobject>
<phrase>Advanced shortcut configuration</phrase>
</textobject>
</mediaobject>
<para>
You can also click on the <guibutton>Advanced >></guibutton> button in the
<guilabel>Configure Shortcut</guilabel> dialog to get more options.
There you can configure a <guilabel>Primary shortcut:</guilabel> and a secondary
<guilabel>Alternate shortcut:</guilabel>.
You can even choose <guilabel>Multi-key mode</guilabel>, which lets you add additional
keys to the shortcut.
</para>
<para>
Configuring the shortcut with the simple dialog sets the primary
shortcut.
</para>
<sect2 id="userdefmenus">
<title>User Defined Menus</title>
<para>You can add your own pop up menu to &kspread; so that pressing one key
combination will make the menu appear then pressing a second key, or using the
<keysym>Up arrow</keysym> and <keysym>Down arrow</keysym> keys and pressing
<keysym>Enter</keysym>, will select an item from it.</para>
<para>To do this add a <guilabel>Custom</guilabel> shortcut for each of the
actions you want to appear in the menu and in the <guilabel>Configure Shortcut
</guilabel> dialog check the <guilabel>Multi-key mode</guilabel> box, press the
key combination that you want to bring up your new menu then, separately,
press the key that will choose that item from the menu.</para>
</sect2>
</sect1>
<sect1 id="configtoolbars">
<title>Toolbars</title>
<para>&kspread; has five toolbars: <guilabel>File</guilabel>,
<guilabel>Edit</guilabel>, <guilabel>Navigation</guilabel>,
<guilabel>Format</guilabel> and <guilabel>Color/Border</guilabel>.
each of which may or may not be shown depending on the choices made in the
<guimenu>Settings</guimenu> menu.</para>
<para>You can choose whether a toolbar appears at the <guimenuitem>Top</guimenuitem>,
<guimenuitem>Left</guimenuitem>, <guimenuitem>Right</guimenuitem> or
<guimenuitem>Bottom</guimenuitem> of &kspread;'s window by <mousebutton>right</mousebutton> clicking on
the toolbar, which brings up the <guilabel>Toolbar Menu</guilabel>, and making
a selection from the <guisubmenu>Orientation</guisubmenu> sub menu. This
<guilabel>Toolbar Menu</guilabel> also has sub menus for choosing whether the
toolbar displays icons, text or both, and the size of the icons.</para>
<para>Another way of moving a toolbar is by positioning the mouse pointer over
the two vertical bars at the left end of each toolbar and holding the
<mousebutton>left</mousebutton> mouse button down while you drag the toolbar
to the wanted position. When you drag the toolbar in this way you can release
the mouse button when it is some distance from any of &kspread;'s window
sides, and then you will get a floating toolbar, which is not locked to any
particular part of &kspread;'s window and can in fact be moved outside of
the window. To put a floating toolbar back into one of the traditional
positions <mousebutton>right</mousebutton> click on its titlebar to bring
up the <guilabel>Toolbar Menu</guilabel> then choose one of the options in
the <guisubmenu>Orientation</guisubmenu> sub menu.</para>
<para>You can also <quote>flatten</quote> a toolbar by <mousebutton>left
</mousebutton> clicking on the two vertical bars at the left end of the
toolbar or by selecting <menuchoice><guisubmenu>Orientation</guisubmenu>
<guimenuitem>Flat</guimenuitem></menuchoice> from the <guilabel>Toolbar
Menu</guilabel>. A <quote>flattened</quote> toolbar appears as a small
rectangle containing two horizontal bars just under &kspread;'s Menubar. It
can be restored to normal by <mousebutton>left</mousebutton> clicking on it.
</para>
<para>Selecting <guimenuitem>Configure Toolbars...</guimenuitem> from the
<guimenu>Settings</guimenu> menu will bring up a dialog box which lets you add
buttons to or remove them from &kspread;'s toolbars.</para>
<para>To use this <guilabel>Configure Toolbars</guilabel> dialog box first
select a toolbar from the <guilabel>Toolbar:</guilabel> combo box. The
right hand <guilabel>Current actions:</guilabel> window will then show the
buttons currently present on the toolbar. You can remove a button by selecting
it in this window then pressing the left arrow button, or move it around by
pressing the up and down arrow buttons. To add a new button to the toolbar
select it in the <guilabel>Available actions:</guilabel> list then press the
right arrow button.</para>
