Hotkeys

Sugar Hotkeys

(These may or may not work, for example many of these DON'T work if you are running Sugar in emulation mode in Fedora 11.)

• 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 + 1 to make a screengrab (saves to Journal)

Is there another way to make a screengrab? An activity?

• Alt + Shift + f or F6 (in Sugar 0.90) to make the frame appear and disappear
• Alt + Shift + o or F5 (in Sugar 0.90) to switch to the Journal
• Alt + Shift + q to shut down the computer (or quit sugar-emulator)
• Ctrl + q to quit an activity

Terminal hotkeys

• Ctrl + Shift + c = copy to clipboard
• Ctrl + Shift + v = paste from clipboard

Keys that should work

Some combination of hotkeys should always work to close an application. Somtimes

• Ctrl + q works

but not always.

Activities

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)
