Activities

Turtle Art Hotkeys

See Activities/Turtle_Art#Keyboard_shortcuts.

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 sugar-build, sugar-emulator or if the environment variable SUGAR_DEVELOPER is defined. They do not function in sugar-runner.

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

Keys that don't work but could

Esc is not handled by the majority of activities; because they usually have no dialogs.
