How do I edit keyboard shortcuts?

0 votes
I'm using yEd on a PC with Windows 7 installed. My keyboard mapping (Latin-2, ISO-8859-2, Hungarian) conflicts with the default layout of yEd.

I'd like to frequently use the "]" character, mapped under <AltGr> + <G>, which currently overrides to "Create Group". This is very uncomfortable since I'm making program drafts in yEd, and my precious arrays require that glyph.

Currently, the only options I have are either switching to English layout (which isn't printed on my keyboard and which I'm not familiar with), or do it the clunky way with rude copypasta.

So, I would like to ask how and where I could modify the keyboard layout, or if you planned to implement such feature for preferences in the future?

We haven't been aware of this problem. Currently, there is no way to change the keyboard shortcuts. I created an error report for this problem in our internal bug tracker.

Any news on this? I have a hotkey conflict as well, except that it affects Ungroup All (Alt + Control + A) resulting in removal of the node and sometimes in a java.lang.NullPointerException when I try to undo. I've sent the error report from yEd.
