<?xml version="1.0"?> <keys name="Macromedia Freehand"> <!-- This is an alternative set of keyboard shortcuts for Inkscape, in the style of Macromedia Freehand. This set is intended to help experienced Freehand users get started with Inkscape. It is not intended for long term use. Users are encouraged to learn how to use Inkscape which has more comprehensive keyboard shortcuts for all kind of features. Also users advised to get directly involved and provide feedback to developers on how best to improve the default settings for all users. Use the Preferences dialog to choose these shortcuts or if it doesn't exist yet be sure to check the request tracker and encourage the developers to add the option to the user interface. In the meantime to manually enable these keyboard shortcuts replace the file inkscape/share/keys/default.xml with this file. --> <!-- Macromedia Freehand MX toplevel menus: File, Edit, View, Modify, Text, Xtras, Window, Help. --> <!-- Tools --> <!-- Selector (Inkscape).
