Keyboard mapping

<noinclude>{{KBmaster}}</noinclude>

''Keyboard mapping'' refers to the Second Life Viewer's shortcut keys that you use to move, change your view, and so on.

You may want to change the default keyboard mapping for the Second Life Viewer, for example if:

* You're using a non-QWERTY keyboard.
* You want to change how keys respond in {{xref|mouselook}} (first-person view).

{{KBwarning| Changing the Viewer's initialization files can result in unexpected behavior or loss of functionality in Second Life. Proceed at your own risk; Linden Lab will ''not'' support issues that arise as a result of altered program files. ''Always'' make a backup copy before making edits.}}

== Procedure ==
To change the default keyboard mappings, edit the Viewer's <code>keys.xml</code> file.

Follow these steps:

# Find the Second Life <code>app_settings</code> directory:
#* On Windows, it is <code>C:\Program Files\SecondLifeViewer2\app_settings</code> by default (<code>C:\Program Files (x86)\SecondLifeViewer2\app_settings</code> on 64-bit Windows).
#* On Mac OS, right-click the Second Life application package and choose '''Show Package Contents'''. Then, open <code>Contents > Resources > app_settings</code>.
# '''IMPORTANT''': Make a backup copy of <code>keys.xml</code>. so you can restore the original configuration if something goes wrong.
# Open <code>keys.xml</code> in a text editor.
# Change the keyboard mappings as desired.
#* If you want a binding to be consistent between third-person and first-person views, you need to change the same control for both modes.
# Save and close <code>keys.xml</code>.
# Restart the Viewer and test your new controls!

== Format of keys.xml ==

The file has sections that define the key mappings for:
* First-person mode
* Third-person mode
* Edit mode
* Sitting
* Edit avatar mode

<keys>
<first_person>
... ''key bindings for first person mode'' ...
</first_person>
<third_person>
... ''key bindings for third person mode'' ...
</third_person>
<edit>
... ''key bindings for edit mode'' ...
</edit>
<sitting>
... ''key bindings for sitting'' ...
</sitting>
<edit_avatar>
... ''key bindings for avatar editing mode'' ...
</edit_avatar>
</keys>

Each key binding has the following format:

<binding key="''key''" mask="''mask''" command="''command''"/>

Where:
* ''key'' is the physical key ([[options]])
* ''mask'' is the modifier key: NONE, SHIFT, CTL, ALT, CTL_ALT, CTL_ALT_SHIFT, CTL_SHIFT, or ALT_SHIFT
* ''command'' is the command to which the key combination maps.
