+ \title Keyboard Shortcuts
+
+ \brief Default keyboard shortcuts.
+
+ \QC has various keyboard shortcuts that speed up your development process.
+ To view all \QC functions in and their keyboard shortcuts, select
+ \preferences > \uicontrol Environment > \uicontrol Keyboard.
+
+ \image qtcreator-keyboard-shortcuts.png
+
+ The shortcuts that are displayed in red color are associated with several
+ functions. \QC executes the function that is available in the current
+ context. If several functions are available for the same shortcut at a
+ time, there is a conflict and \QC cannot execute any function.
+
+ A keyboard shortcut might also conflict with a shortcut that a window
+ manager uses for its own purposes. In that case, \QC shortcuts do not work.
+ Typically, you can configure the shortcuts in the window manager, but if
+ that is not allowed, you can change the \QC shortcuts.
+
+ For example, Unity on
+ Ubuntu 11.10 uses \key F10 in its window manager, and therefore the default
+ \QC keyboard shortcut \key F10 (Step Over) does not work on that system.
+
+
+ To override the platform default value that determines whether
+ keyboard shortcuts are shown in the labels of context menu items,
+ select \preferences > \uicontrol Environment >
+ \uicontrol Interface. The label of the \uicontrol {Show keyboard shortcuts
+ in context menus} check box indicates whether the platform default value
+ is \c on or \c off.
+
+ \image qtcreator-preferences-environment-interface.webp {Interface tab in Environment preferences}
+
+ The following tables list the default keyboard shortcuts. They are
+ categorized by actions.
