- This page lets you customize layer/channel previews and keyboard shortcuts.

- By default, GIMP shows miniature previews of the contents of
- layers and channels in several places, including the Layers
- dialog. If for some reason you would prefer to disable
- these, you can do it by unchecking "Enable layer and channel
- previews". If you do want previews to be shown, you can
- customize their sizes using the menus for "Default layer and
- channel preview size" and "Navigation preview size".

- Any menu item can be activated by holding down
- <span><b class="keycap">Alt</b></span> and pressing a sequence of keys.
- Normally, the key associated with each menu entry is shown
- as an underlined letter in the text. If for some reason you
- would prefer the underlines to go away (maybe because you
- think they're ugly and you don't use them anyway), then you
- can make this happen by unchecking "Show menu mnemonics".
- </p>
- <p>
- GIMP can give you the ability to create keyboard shortcuts
- (key combinations that activate a menu entry) dynamically,
- by pressing the keys while the pointer hovers over the
- desired menu entry. However, this capability is disabled by
- default, because it might lead novice users to accidentally
- overwrite the standard keyboard shortcuts. If you want to
- enable it, check "Use dynamics keyboard shortcuts" here.
- </p>
- <p>
- Pressing the button for "Configure Keyboard Shortcuts"
- brings up the Shortcut Editor, which gives you a graphical
- interface to select menu items and assign shortcuts to them.
- </p>
- <p>
- If you change shortcuts, you will probably want your changes
- to continue to apply in future GIMP sessions. If not,
- uncheck "Save keyboard shortcuts on exit". But remember
- that you have done this, or you may be frustrated later. If
- you don't want to save shortcuts on exit every session, you
- can save the current settings at any time using the "Save
- Keyborad Shortcuts Now" button, and they will be applied to
- future sessions. If you decide that you have made some bad
- decisions concerning shortcuts, you can reset them to their
- original state by pressing "Reset Saved Keyboard Shortcuts
- to Default Values".
