Mandatory properties

Inherits all properties from PrototypeBase.

action

Type: string
One of "toggle-alt-mode", "undo", "copy", "cut", "paste", "import-string", "toggle-personal-roboport", "toggle-equipment-movement-bonus", "spawn-item" and "lua".

If this is "lua", defines.events.on_lua_shortcut is raised when the shortcut is clicked.

icon

Type: Sprite
Scales to fit a 16x16-pixel square.
Note: The scale that can be defined in the sprite may not behave as expected because the game always scales the sprite to fill the GUI slot.

Optional properties

item_to_spawn

Type: string
Name of a Prototype/Item. The item to create when clicking on a shortcut with the action set to "spawn-item". The item must have the "spawnable" flag set.

technology_to_unlock

Type: string
Name of a Prototype/Technology. The technology that must be researched before this shortcut can be used. Once a shortcut is unlocked in one save file, it is unlocked for all future save files.

toggleable

Type: bool
Default: false
Must be enabled for the Factorio API to be able to set the toggled state on the shortcut button, see LuaPlayer.set_shortcut_toggled.

associated_control_input

Type: string
Default: ""
Name of a custom input or vanilla control. This is only used to show the keybind in the tooltip of the shortcut.

small_icon

Type: Sprite
Default: Uses #icon definition
The icon used in the panel for visible shortcuts, when the shortcut is usable.
Note: The scale that can be defined in the sprite may not behave as expected because the game always scales the sprite to fill the GUI slot.

disabled_icon

Type: Sprite
Default: Uses #icon definition
The icon used when the shortcut is shown in the quickbar, and is not usable.
Note: The scale that can be defined in the sprite may not behave as expected because the game always scales the sprite to fill the GUI slot.

disabled_small_icon

Type: Sprite
Default: Uses #disabled_icon definition
The icon used in the panel for visible shortcuts, when the shortcut is not usable.
Note: The scale that can be defined in the sprite may not behave as expected because the game always scales the sprite to fill the GUI slot.

style

Type: string
Default: "default"
One of "default", "blue", "red" and "green".
