Editing Shortcut Keys

I wish to change some of the hardcoded hotkeys. I want to modify (or completely disable) the home teleport hotkey, for example.

I haven't found a way to do this with the official client/viewer. I'm guessing there's another one out there that will let me change such things?

There are a few hardcoded keystrokes floating around in there, but most shortcuts are currently defined in the skins.

In my case, the file to change would be skins/default/xui/en-us/menu_viewer.xml -- adjust for the skin and language you prefer.

If you search in that file for "Teleport Home", you will find the spot, a line that looks like this:

mouse_opaque="true" name="Teleport Home" shortcut="control|shift|H"

Change that "control|shift|H" to whatever suits you better, save, restart SL, and that should be that.
