Ctrl+Shift+R

Upload a 'reproducer case' to the Xopus team. With this last shortcut Xopus collects all the relevant files in your Xopus setup and thus reproduces it. This is then sent to Xopus, where the developers can take a closer look at what kind of problem you might be having. To use this correctly you should start Xopus, get as close to the error and then use the shortcut. Then describe in the supplied box what the problem is.
