<title>The Cthulhu Modifier</title>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Cthulhu has a special modifier key that works like <key>Shift</key>,
|
||
|
|
<key>Ctrl</key>, and <key>Alt</key>. It is designed specifically
|
||
|
|
for performing <app>Cthulhu</app> commands and doing so without
|
||
|
|
introducing conflicts with the commands of the applications you
|
||
|
|
are accessing.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Which key the "Cthulhu Modifier" is bound to will, by default, depend
|
||
|
|
on whether you are using <app>Cthulhu</app>'s Laptop keyboard layout
|
||
|
|
or its Desktop keyboard layout:
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<list>
|
||
|
|
<item>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
If you are using the Laptop layout, the default Cthulhu Modifier
|
||
|
|
will be <key>CapsLock</key>
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
</item>
|
||
|
|
<item>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
If you are using the Desktop layout, the Cthulhu Modifier will
|
||
|
|
be both <key>Insert</key> and <key>KP_Insert</key>, the
|
||
|
|
latter being the same key as <key>KP_0</key>.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
</item>
|
||
|
|
</list>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
If you want to maintain your current keyboard layout but select a different
|
||
|
|
modifier key, you can do so by performing the following steps:
