Recently, FoxitReader for Linux was officially introduced and I love it.
However, somehow FoxitReader does not support shortcut keys for any comment tools. This is quite inconvenience for me, especially when I have to use the trackpad of my laptop to select the tool first.
So I would like to ask if is there any way to configure the shortcut keys of FoxitReader?
I do not see this feature in the preference of FoxitReader, so looking into the configuration files of FoxitReader in Linux could be a possible solution. But I am don't know how to do it.
Thanks for taking time reading my post!

Not sure for linux but in window u can do thisRight click on toolbar at top
select customise quick access toolbar
then follow this
Update:
Foxit version 2.4.1
By default, they provide for highlight light text using Ctrl+h (Linux)
Unfortunately this feature is not currently available. I'm sorry I can't give you a better answer. We (Foxit) are currently working on adding shortcut keys in future versions.
Try:
Right-click the toolbar region -> Customize Toolbar -> choose the Keyboard tab -> choose the View menu -> change the shortcuts for Next Page and Previous Page.
See the shortcuts available in foxit.
For the newest version:
- Right click the ribbon under the 'Home' section.
- Select customize ribbon.
- Navigate to the keyboard tab
I used this specifically to set the highlight tool. The section to find the highlight tool option is not intuitive so if your interested in setting the highlight shortcut just navigate to the comment section.
It is impossible to customized the shortcut on the Linux version. But for the windows version, Adiii has provided the solutions.
Two commonly used shortcut, which is already predefined in the Linux version is
CTRL + L: highlight
CTRL + N: note
Hope it helps.

The FoxIt Linux version do not support keyboard customization, BUT we can easily use FoxIt (Windows) on Linux via Wine + PlayOnLinux.
I set it up on my Ubuntu 18 by:
- Download the Foxit Windows version from https://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf-reader/
- Install via PlayOnLinux. (including adding a shortcut to the FoxitReader.exe)
- Move the shortcut FoxitReader.desktop to the
.local/share/applicationsand select any pdf file >properties> set the default application as FoxitReader.
This gives me the power of keyboard shortcut customization at a small price of slightly longer startup time.
