The new scripting interface is very nice. However, the default keyboard shortcuts for accessing them (CTRL + ALT + F1, F2, F3...) cannot be used directly in Linux, as these key combinations switch from the X-Window interface to the console terminals.

Is there a way to customize these OmegaT shortcuts so that I can use them in my Ubuntu ?

Thank you !

It’s in Appendix G. Shortcuts customization of the user manual.

Thank you for your answer, but it would have been nice of you to omit the "F" in the subject without altering the message.

(Besides, the manual dated from 09/25/2012 does NOT list the menu item code for the scripts in the Tools menu (see page 94). One more reason to be nice maybe..).

Actually, these are the shortcuts of the plugin, not OmegaT shortcuts (which explains the issue).
so that I can use them in my Ubuntu ?

The only way to customize the shortcuts is by modifying the plugin and recompiling it.

It doesn't apply in that case, as plugin shortcuts cannot be customized currently.
