Keybindings

This page lists all the keybindings of Part-DB. Currently, there are only the special character keybindings.

Disabling keybindings

If you want to disable the special character keybindings (for example, because they conflict with your keyboard layout or system shortcuts), you can do so in two ways:

Via the System Settings UI (recommended)

1. Navigate to System Settings (Tools → System Settings)
2. Go to Behavior → Keybindings
3. Uncheck Enable special character keybindings
4. Save the settings

Via Environment Variable

Alternatively, you can set the environment variable KEYBINDINGS_SPECIAL_CHARS_ENABLED=0 in your .env.local file or your server environment configuration.
