Sugar Hotkeys

F1 for Neighborhood view (wireless network view), See Human Interface Guidelines/The Laptop Experience/Zoom Metaphor.
F2 for Groups view,
F3 for Home view,
F4 for Activity view,
Alt + Tab to change between Activities,
Alt + Shift + Tab to change between Activities backwards,
Alt + 1 to make a screenshot, saved to Journal,
Alt + Shift + f or F6 (in Sugar 0.90 or later) to make the frame appear and disappear,
Alt + Shift + o or F5 (in Sugar 0.90 or later) to switch to the Journal,
Ctrl + c to copy to clipboard,
Ctrl + v to paste from clipboard,
Ctrl + q to quit an activity

Some old activities have a bug, and ignore Ctrl + q, please report them.

Emulator Hotkeys

Alt + Shift + q to quit sugar-emulator,

Some of the Sugar hotkeys may not work in an emulator.

Activities

Terminal Hotkeys

The Terminal activity must pass all Ctrl keys to the shell, so all the Sugar hotkeys starting with Ctrl must also have Shift pressed:

Ctrl + Shift + c = copy to clipboard
Ctrl + Shift + v = paste from clipboard
Ctrl + Shift + q = quit activity

Turtle Art Hotkeys

Alt + p = palette;
Alt + b = blocks;
Alt + r = run;
Alt + w = walk;
Alt + s = stop;
Alt + e = erase the screen.

The undiscoverables

Hidden Features: The Undiscoverable

Keys that don't work but should

Esc doesn't appear to do anything at the activity level ... if Sugar is to help kids learn about computers then they should know that escape, outside of Sugar, does a lot of stop-gap good. Is there no 'Esc' on OLPC machines?

Try using the Ctrl + Esc combination. --Dennis Daniels 15:15, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
