Changing a keyboard shortcut

• Open xowa.gfs in a text editor.
• Search for 'app_exit' (Note the single quotes).

The following line should be found:

.set('app_exit' , 'mod.c+key.q')

This line defines Control+Q as the shortcut to exit the application.

• Change the shortcut from Control+Q to Control+Z by changing key.q to key.z.

When you are done you should have the following line (note the red highlight):

.set('app_exit' , 'mod.c+key.z')

• Save xowa.gfs and close the file.
• Run XOWA. Press Control+Z to exit the application.

Changing the HTML view

• Open xowa.gfs in a text editor.
• Search for the line .page_read_(

The following lines define the HTML used for the "Read" tab.

For now, let's add a "Hello World!"

• Scroll down about 20 lines. You will see the following line:

<div id="siteSub">From XOWA:.... .

• Add a "Hello World!" right before "From XOWA:". When you are done you should have the following line (note the red highlight):

<div id="siteSub">Hello World! From XOWA:.... .

• Save xowa.gfs and close the file.
• Run XOWA. Note the "Hello World!" text at the top of the page.
