==keys that should work==
==Activities==

*ctrl+q works
but not always.

==Turtle Art Hotkeys==
*Alt+ p =palette;


*alt +b =blocks;
===Turtle Art Hotkeys===
*alt +r =run;
 
*alt +w =walk;
See [[Activities/Turtle Art#Keyboard shortcuts]].
*alt +s =stop;
 
*alt +e =erase; e.g., Alt+e will erase the screen.
===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
 
== Emulator Hotkeys ==
 
* '''Alt + Shift + q''' to quit Sugar
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>.
 
Some of the Sugar hotkeys may not work in an emulator.

==keys that don't work but should==
==Keys that don't work but could==
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?
* '''Esc''' is not handled by the majority of activities; because they usually have no dialogs.
