Shortcuts Settings

The Shortcuts tab of Settings: your own shortcuts, which work in every app, and a list of the keys that work on the desktop.

System-wide

• Full Screen - shows your cameras full screen, above everything. The shortcut again, Esc or a click goes back. While a detection shows at the top of the screen, it shows the camera that saw someone. See Full Screen.
• Hide Cameras - your normal wallpaper instead of the cameras, and back, like 'Hide Cameras' in the menu bar panel. A short notice says "Cameras hidden" or "Cameras shown". See Hiding the cameras.
• Mute Audio - turns the camera's audio off and on. A short notice says "Camera audio OFF" or "Camera audio ON". See Camera Audio.

There is none until you record one. Click 'Record' and press the keys; Delete removes the shortcut, Esc cancels. 'Clear' removes it too, and gives the keys back to other apps at once. With an extended keyboard, a spare key such as F17 is handy.

• A shortcut needs ⌘ or ⌃, so it never swallows ordinary typing - except a function key such as F5, which may stand alone. Extended keyboards have spare ones up to F19. On a MacBook and most compact keyboards, hold fn to press F1 to F12 as function keys.
• Every app's standard commands - ⌘C, ⌘V, ⌘X, ⌘A, ⌘Z, ⌘Q, ⌘W, ⌘,, ⌘⌫ - are refused with a beep, and so is a shortcut another of the three already uses.
• If another app already uses the shortcut, PanoPaper cannot have it: "Another app uses this shortcut." appears under it. Choose another one.
• While you record a shortcut, all three do nothing - pressing one records it instead.

On the desktop

The keys that act on your cameras while the desktop is clear - no window covering it - on the display under the pointer, and in Full Screen. This list only shows them; they cannot be changed.

• 1 to 9 - switch to that camera.
• The key left of 1 - All Cameras; pressed again, back to the camera before.
• ← → ↑ ↓ - move around, or turn a 360° view.
• + and - - zoom in or out.
• 0 - back to the whole picture, or a 360° camera's widest view.
• ⌥ with the arrows, +, - and 0 - a PTZ camera itself; ⌥0 sends it Home.

The numeric keypad works too. In the Mac App Store edition, the keys that type take ⌘ on a clear desktop (⌘1, ⌘+, …), and the list shows them so; in Full Screen they work without it. See Desktop Keys.
