# 13 Customizing Ipe

A few features of the Ipe user interface can be changed in the Preferences dialog (in the Help menu).

Ipe contains support for localizing the user interface into another language. Contact me if you wish to do such a localization project.

The keyboard shortcuts used by Ipe can be customized to your personal taste. Save the current configuration into, say, a file ipekeys.qm using the function Save keys from the Help menu. Translate ipekeys.qm into XML format using `qm2ts` (from Qt 3), edit the resulting ipekeys.ts file (you can discard all the definitions you do not wish to change), and compile back into .qm format using `lrelease`. Install the resulting file in your home directory as .ipekeys.qm, and restart Ipe.
