I ignore why, but perhaps there are conflics between these two versions. > This is why I was missing a lot of shortcuts. > > Where ARE the preference files for OSX? If you want to define your personal shortcuts, you must create a file: ~/.amaya/amaya.kb-mac > What is the algorithm for keyboard files? > Are they merged, so can one just override with a few lines in a > personal file? No, the personal shortcuts replaces the default shorcuts, so you can remove a shortcut. > What is looked for in the home directory? /Users/your_login > Can I keep separate files for different operating systems?

The result is two set of shortcuts: - quick shortcuts managed by WX (like Command x, Command v, etc.) - sequences managed by Amaya. By example each HTML element can be created with Ctrl h - ...
