Hello Chris
It seems to be the only way to do, but it is not appropriated to edit
the KeyEventTranslations.tr file directly.
- Is there a way to temporary edit it at the runtime, I mean by a
frontend command, like it is possible for MenuSetup.tr ?
- In KeyEventTranslations.tr there are type filters. Is there a way
to change the BoxClass of graphics objects so that the GraphEdit2D
object shortcuts are not associated with the object ?
