Basically how to use hotkeys under Misc options through burp extender API?

You can't issue keyboard hotkeys via the API, sorry.

You can change these in the same general way that Burp's preferences can currently be manipulated via the API. It's currently a bit clunky/limiting, but we'll be improving this soon: https://portswigger.net/burp/extender/api/burp/IBurpExtenderCallbacks.html#saveConfig() https://portswigger.net/burp/extender/api/burp/IBurpExtenderCallbacks.html#loadConfig(java.util.Map)

Can Hotkeys under Misc options be changed using API?

Burp User | Last updated: Feb 04, 2016 11:21AM UTC

Is it possible to saveConfig in a file instead of dictonary(key/value pair) and load it whenever required ?

Not currently. Soon, we will be replacing this API to operate on a JSON-based configuration string, which you can easily store in files if you want.

Does this basically mean then, that I am limited to just the navigation options defined in Options - Misc? For example: If I wanted to implement Alt-Tab to toggle between tabs :) .. I can't do that, as things stand..rt?

For example: This is the closest I seem to be able to get (Python) while trying to switch hotkeys as a POC, and that didn't work as expected either :( -------- config= dict(callbacks.saveConfig()) config['suite.hotkey1']= '262400.130.70.' config['suite.hotkey2']= '131584.130.73.' callbacks.loadConfig(config) for k,v in config.items(): if 'hotkey1' in k or 'hotkey2' in k: print k,v -------- I tried creating a new key but that didn't really work. Am I doing it all wrong?

We would suggest creating the desired hotkeys via the UI in the normal way, and then save the config via the API. This will give you the valid config strings that you can later restore via the API when needed. If you can't create the configuration you need via the UI, then it can't be done.

Okay, thank you. I will explore the UI a bit more closely then.
