How to reset all keyboard shortcuts in notepad++?

I have removed the shortcut for SCI_DELETEBACK and as such my backspace key now outputs a backspace character rather than actually deleting characters.

For whatever reason, it's not possible to re-assign this key (probably because they've assumed no-one will be stupid enough to try and change it) so now I'm stuck.

Ideally I'd like to re-assign the backspace key to the SCI_DELETEBACK command but I think resetting the lot would be easier.

Prove me wrong!

Thanks

Solution

  • Find the <ScintillaKeys>...</ScintillaKeys> tag in ./settings/shortcuts.xml

    Delete shortcuts as applicable. The backspace key is ASCII 8.

    If you want to remove all of them, use <ScintillaKeys/>.
