Is there a way to edit the default shortcuts used in the Processing IDE?
In particular, I want to change Redo’s shortcut away from the default Ctrl+Y to Ctrl+Shift+Z.
Is there a custom line I can add to preferences.txt or something? (There’s nothing in there currently about this shortcut.) Or is there some other way?

Hello,
If you are adventurous:

I once did a build of Processing to move this folder:
C:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming\Processing
To the local drive (or otherwise) so it was portable and I could use it on a USB stick and bring my preferences along with me.
You may also be able to change your hotkeys and shortcuts.
I won’t be providing support for this.
