The Gimp: Keybindings ===================== This is the set of default hotkeys (keyboard shortcuts) for The GIMP. For more information on what the commands do, use the help system (press F1) or the GUM (GIMP Users Manual) which is available at http://manual.gimp.org/. The GIMP allows menu keybindings to be dynamically re-assigned. So if you don't like these, they are easy enough to change. To do this, just highlight the menu item of your choice, and press the desired new key combination. If that combination is already assigned, the old command will lose it's binding. The GIMP also comes with a menurc that will implement Adobe Photoshop style keybindings, if you are used to Photoshop, this may prove helpful. To use it, rename ps-menurc to menurc and put it in ~/gimp-1.2, overwriting the one that is already there (you may want to make a backup first). 1.
