Custom Keymaps

If you want to make custom keymaps, you can create keymap.json at the user configuration path:

  • /Users/<user>/Library/Application Support/StarUML for Mac OS.

  • C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\StarUML for Windows.

  • ~/.config/StarUML for Linux.

You can get how to edit the custom keymap file (keymap.json) at Keymaps.

Here is an example:

{
  "cmdctrl-alt-1": null,
  "cmdctrl-alt-g": "view:show-grid"
}

The first entry is to release the Ctrl+Alt+1 (Cmd+Option+1 in MacOS) key binding and the second entry is to change key binding of View > Show Grid (Command ID is view:show-grid) to Ctrl+Alt+G (Cmd+Option+G in MacOS).

If you want to know all command IDs, enter the following expression at Console (Debug > Show DevTools > Console tab).

Object.keys(app.commands.commands)

Custom Fonts

If you want to use custom fonts, you can add a font folder in the custom fonts folder:

  • /Users/<user>/Library/Application Support/StarUML/fonts for Mac OS.

  • C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\StarUML\fonts for Windows.

  • ~/.config/StarUML/fonts for Linux.

  1. Create a font folder (e.g. my-font) at the custom fonts folder.

  2. Place a font description file (font.json) and the TrueType font files .ttf in the font folder.

The font description file looks as below:

[
  {
    "name"       : "MyFont",
    "regular"    : "MyFont-Regular.ttf",
    "italic"     : "MyFont-Italic.ttf",
    "bold"       : "MyFont-Bold.ttf",
    "boldItalic" : "MyFont-BoldItalic.ttf"
  }
]

StarUML should be restarted to recognize the added custom fonts.
