Example mamut.properties file

The key-bindings used in the MaMuT viewer can be customized through a text file, that allow you to remap any command to any key. To so, create a text file named mamut.properties in the Fiji.app folder (where the plugins and jars folders are). This file must follow this syntax example:

A=add spot
ENTER=add spot
D=delete spot
E=increase spot radius
Q=decrease spot radius
shift\ E=increase spot radius a lot
shift\ Q=decrease spot radius a lot
control\ E=increase spot radius a bit
control\ Q=decrease spot radius a bit
...

It follows the syntax key=command, one per line. Modifier keys such as ⌃ Ctrl and ⇧ Shift are specified by prepending the key with their name, separated by a space escaped with a backslash \. Spaces in commands do not need to be escaped. The dash # character at the beginning of a line is used to insert comments.


# The key bindings for MaMuT viewer windows.
# Available actions are the following (space in between words must be included):
#   
#   add spot
#   delete spot
#   increase spot radius
#   increase spot radius a lot
#   increase spot radius a bit
#   decrease spot radius
#   decrease spot radius a lot
#   decrease spot radius a bit
#
#   semi-auto tracking
#   toggle linking mode
#
#   show help
#   toggle brightness dialog
#   toggle interpolation
#   toggle fused mode
#   toggle grouping
#
#   toggle source visibility 0
#   toggle source visibility 1
#   toggle source visibility ... up to 9
#
#   align XY plane
#   align ZY plane
#   align XZ plane
#
#   next timepoint
#   previous timepoint
#   step time forward
#   step time backward
#
# No space around '='!
# An action can have several key bindings.
# When using shift, control, etc... use a a backslash-space after the modifier
# (as in 'control\ Q').
