- On Linux the `Ctrl+Q` key combination exits the application.

## Translations

At the moment the available translations are for:

- Portuguese(Portugal)

If you like this application and are willing to translate it, I would be immensely grateful towards that effort!!

## Setup as default viewer

### Linux (Ubuntu)

The quick and dirty way I did it on my system was:

1. Create a file under `$HOME/.local/share/applications` named `jsonviewer.desktop` with the appropriate contents pointing to where you have uncompressed your binary.

2. Create and entry on `$HOME/.local/share/applications/defaults.list` that looks like:

```ini

[Default Applications]

application/json=jsonviewer.desktop

```

### Windows

At the moment I don't have an answer on how to do it manually. Need to consult some Windows gurus.

Nonetheless, the Windows Setup binary provided will ask you if you want to make it the default viewer for `JSON` files.
