==Activities==<br />
<br />
===Turtle Art Hotkeys===<br />
<br />
See [[Activities/Turtle Art#Keyboard shortcuts]].<br />
<br />
===Terminal Hotkeys===<br />
<br />
The Terminal activity must pass all Ctrl keys to the shell, so all the Sugar hotkeys starting with Ctrl must also have Shift pressed:<br />
<br />
* '''Ctrl + Shift + c''' = copy to clipboard<br />
* '''Ctrl + Shift + v''' = paste from clipboard<br />
* '''Ctrl + Shift + q''' = quit activity<br />
<br />
== Emulator Hotkeys ==<br />
<br />
* '''Alt + Shift + q''' to quit Sugar<br />
Emulator hotkeys work in <code>sugar-build</code>, <code>sugar-emulator</code> or if the environment variable <code>SUGAR_DEVELOPER</code> is defined. They do not function in <code>sugar-runner</code>.<br />
<br />
Some of the Sugar hotkeys may not work in an emulator.<br />
<br />
==The undiscoverables==<br />
* Hidden Features: [[The Undiscoverable]]<br />
<br />
==Keys that don't work but could==<br />
* '''Esc''' is not handled by the majority of activities; because they usually have no dialogs.<br />
