Hot Keys

X Northern Captain has many hot keys for its actions and these hot keys can be easily redefined with 'xncsetup' program or manually by editing '~/.xnc/xnc.keys' file in HOME directory.
Each action can have up to three key combinations.
Format of the key definition is simple:

> Modifier+Key1;Modifier+Key2;Modifier+Key3;

Where:

- Modifier- Shift, Ctrl or Alt word which mean Shift or Control or Alt keys. This field can be empty (no modifier and no '+').
