Keyboard Shortcuts, Cmd-C in particular

Post by Steerpike »

I notice that the keyboard shortcut for Edit / Copy to Clipboard / Image Content is 'Ctrl-Shift-C'. That's not easy for me to remember. But the 'universal standard' for 'copy' is 'Cmd-C' and ... it seems to work for me just like Ctrl-Shift-C. So is there any difference between the two?

I'm coming over to the Mac after decades of Windows usage, and specifically IrfanView usage for Image editing. And of course, all the keyboard shortcuts are different! So I was wondering if there's any way to re-map keyboard shortcuts? And/or, create new ones for commands that currently don't have any shortcuts?

UPDATE - I see now there's a wealth of information in the forums here, stickied at the top! I just explored the whole 'Preferences' / 'Shortcuts' area - very powerful! Is there a way to see all the shortcuts listed together, perhaps alphabetically ... with a view to seeing what shortcuts are 'free' (unassigned)? Does XnView prevent you from assigning an already-assigned shortcut combo?

I am still curious, though, as to what the differences are between Cmd-C and Ctrl-Shift-C !


Thanks!

I just opened a jpg file with XnView on the Mac, then used 'Ctrl+C', then pasted into a word document. The image content was copied/pasted to word. I then used 'Cmd+C', and got the exact same result. In what way is 'filename' involved or used? (I also tried Shift+Ctrl+C, same result).

I repeated the test on Windows, and got the same result. So I just don't understand in what way the filename is involved.
