2. Take a blurry (out of focus) image of that surface with your camera, ensuring that you don't have any "parasite" light in the frame, you have no clipping, and are using an aperture between f/5.6 and f/8,
3. Open the image in darktable and extract the white balance by using the [picker](../../darkroom/processing-modules/module-controls.md#pickers) tool in the _white balance_ module on the center area of the image (non-central regions might be subject to chromatic aberrations). This will generate a set of 3 RGB coefficients.
4. [Save a preset](../../darkroom/processing-modules/presets.md#creating-and-editing-presets) for the _white balance_ module with these coefficients and auto-apply it to any color RAW image created by the same camera.

I'm not sure whether definition lists really work well for shortcuts. In other places I've used fenced code blocks, but I'm not sure how well those work either TBH. Maybe a bullet list might work? Also, we generally use fixed width for keyboard keys.

: Toggle the on-image crop box even if the _crop_ module is currently not expanded. This is useful for cropping from the [quick access panel](../darkroom/organization/quick-access-panel.md), which would otherwise require navigating to teh full crop module.

**Note 3:** Perfectly matching your control sample against the target lightness may still not yield a similar perceptual result, even if the numbers are exactly the same. For example, if your subject sits in front of a background made of some bright parts and some dark parts, the ratio of bright areas / dark areas will affect the perception of contrast and brightness. If this ratio changes across your series, the subject brightness will not appear constant even though the lightness value is exactly constant. For more details, see the [checker shadow illusion](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checker_shadow_illusion) and the [Chubb illusion](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chubb_illusion).

The recommended way to assign shortcuts to visual elements is the [visual shortcut mapping](#visual-shortcut-mapping) mode.

A single action may have multiple shortcuts but a single shortcut can only be linked to one action in a given darktable view -- you can't chain actions together except by applying a preset or style. You can, however, set up a single shortcut that does one thing in the lighttable view, say, and another in the darkroom view.

export...
: Export the current shortcut mappings for one or all of your devices (keyboard/mouse, midi, game controller) to an external file. The dialog will show you how many shortcuts exist for each device.

import extras
: Import extended default shortcuts from a system file. This adds a substantial number of shortcuts for controlling processing modules. As when importing shortcuts from an external file, existing shortcuts matching any in the system file will be replaced. You can undo the import using the `restore...` button until you exit darktable if you notice that one of your existing shortcuts has been replaced. Most of the extended shortcuts use key+mouse combinations, and many use a mnemonic key for the module the shortcut controls. These mnemonic shortcuts can be localized to your preferred language, if a localized version of the system file is available (currently, only German in addition to the default English).
: You can review the added shortcuts by pressing and holding the 'h' key in the [darkroom](../darkroom/darkroom-view-layout.md).

import...
: Import shortcut mappings from an external file for one or all of your devices. When loading a device, you can chose to assign it a different number. This can for example be used to exchange midi layouts. Before loading, you can chose to wipe the specific device first. When loading all from an empty file, this will effectively delete all your shortcuts.
