Hi Larry,

The Sparky keyboard shortcuts are defined in the C++ code
(command.cc). You could edit them and recompile Sparky but that is a
good bit of trouble. Heres a simpler way if you just want to add a new
shortcut that does the same thing as an existing one. Edit your Sparky
distribution file

sparky/python/sparky/sparky_init.py

with a text editor to look like the following

def initialize_session(session):

session.add_command(zz, My Shortcuts/Peak List,
lambda: session.command_characters(lt))

This defines the shortcut zz to behave as if you typed lt (show peak
list) and adds a menu entry Extensions / My Shortcuts / Peak List
(zz). You can add additional shortcuts by just having more
session.add_command() lines.

I would like to reassign the two letter shortcut for some functions in
sparky. Could someone let me know how this can be done?

Thanks!
