Work in the Code Area
Use: To:
CTRL+N Insert a carriage return.
INSERT Toggle between Insert and Overwrite mode.
CTRL+ LEFT or RIGHT ARROW Move forward or backward in the code, one word at a time.
CTRL+HOME Move to the first character of the first line of the Code area.
CTRL+END Move to the last character of the last line of the Code area.
Use Command Name Completion/Argument Insertion
Use: To:
CTRL+SPACE
Launch command name completion or argument insertion. The position of the pointer determines which
operation the shortcut launches. Press ESCAPE to abort the operation. See “Use Command and Variable
Name Completion” on page 405 and “To enter arguments:” on page 403 for more complete explanations
of this shortcut.
CTRL+SHIFT+SPACE
Display the list of arguments the command requires. This shortcut functions only when you use it
between the opening and closing parentheses of the argument list. The current argument (the one at the
current insertion point in the Code area) appears in bold. You can move the insertion point forward or
backward by pressing the right and left arrows respectively; the current argument changes to reflect the
move from one argument to another.
Undo Commands
Use: To:
CTRL+Z
or
ALT+BACKSPACE
Undo the last command or group of editing commands entered, depending on the setting of the Group undo
check box in the User Options dialog box. If you selected Group undo, the Editor undoes the last group of
editing commands entered. If you cleared Group undo, the Editor undoes only the last editing command
entered. Repeat to continue undoing each preceding editing command or group of editing commands.
Work with Selections
Use: To:
CTRL+A Select the complete contents of the Code area.
SHIFT+ARROW
Increase or decrease the size of the current selection one line at a time (up or down arrow), or one char-
acter at a time (left or right arrow).
CTRL+SHIFT+
LEFT/RIGHT ARROW
Increase or decrease the size of the current selection one word at a time.
ALT+SHIFT+ARROW
Increase or decrease the size of the current selection one character at a time (left or right arrow) or one
line at a time (up or down arrow). One line in this case refers to only that portion of the line currently in
the selection. For example, if a selection contains only characters 3 through 10 of the line and you press
the down arrow, the selection adds only characters 3 through 10 of the next line. This is often referred to
as a “block select”.
CTRL+X Cut the currently selected region of code.
CTRL+C Copy the currently selected region of code to the clipboard.
CTRL+V Paste the contents of the clipboard to the current pointer position.
DELETE
or
BACKSPACE
Delete the currently selected region of code.
