Ctrl+Alt+key

Important change in SuperMemo 15: To avoid interference with AltGr on various international keyboards, most of Ctrl+Alt shortcuts have been removed from SuperMemo 15. Some of the most often used combinations have been replaced with new shortcuts. Experience shows that with heavy use you can transition to new shortcuts within weeks. The replacement shortcuts have been chosen to be mnemonic and resemble old shortcuts wherever possible. If you are unhappy with any of the changes, please place your suggestions on the Talk page or at SuperMemoPedia. New commands can always be made available from the Commander:

Shift+Alt+key

  • Shift+Alt+A - Tools : Statistics : Analysis
  • Shift+Alt+H - Reading : Insert : Insert splitline (on the component menu)
  • Shift+Alt+L - Test the repetition cycle (display components as if during learning using their Display at property)
  • Shift+Alt+M - Mercy
  • Shift+Alt+T - Components : Tile components (on the element menu)
  • Shift+Alt+X - Schedule extract and define its priority

Ctrl+Alt+Shift+key

  • Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F12 - Move one difficulty level down (see: Ctrl+Alt+F12)
