Short Cut Keys

General

There are a number of shortcut keys that can be used for functionality or adding effects on the grid. These effects are stored in the xlights_keybindings.xml file and can be modified by the user.

Note that you must edit this file while Nutcracker is NOT running. Changes will be lost when xLights/Nutcracker closes as this file is saved upon exit each time.
