Shortcuts are loaded from the file /.rockbox/shortcuts.txt which lists each item
to be displayed. Each shortcut looks like the following:
Example
[shortcut]
type: <shortcut type>
data: <what the shortcut actually links to>
name: <what the shortcut should be displayed as>
icon: <number of the theme icon to use (see ZCustomIcons)>
talkclip: <filename of a talk clip to speak when voice menus are enabled>
Only “type” and “data” are required (except if type is “separator” in which case “data”
is also not required).
Available types are:
file data is the name of the file to “run”
browse data is the file or the folder to open the file browser at
playlist menu data is the file or the folder to open the “Current Playlist” context menu
item on
setting data is the config name of the setting you want to change (see section E
(page 215) for the list of the possible settings)
debug data is the name of the debug menu item to display
separator data is ignored; name can be used to display text, or left blank to make the
list more accessible with visual gaps
time data needs to be either “talk” to talk the time, or “sleep X” where X is the
number of minutes to run the sleep timer for (0 to disable). name is required for
this shortcut type.
shutdown data is ignored; name can be used to display text
If the name/icon items are not specified, a sensible default will be used.
Note: For the “browse” type, if you want the file browser to start inside a folder, make
b
sure the data has the trailing slash (i.e /Music/ instead of /Music). Without the trailing
slash, it will cause the file broser to open with /Music selected instead.
The file shortcuts.txt can be edited with any text editor. Most items can also be
added to it through their context menu item “Add to shortcuts”. A reboot is needed for
manual changes to shortcuts.txt to be applied.
Shortcuts can be manually removed by selecting the one you wish to remove and
pressing Long Menu or Long Centre or Long Middle-Right.
