Setting Global Source Editor Keyboard Shortcuts
By default, the Source Editor has a set of global keyboard shortcuts. These
shortcuts are available no matter what kind of file you are working on.
You can specify your own keyboard shortcuts for the Source Editor. They may
be global settings or may vary by individual editor type.
Source Editor shortcuts are distinct from other IDE shortcuts, which can be
customized by choosing Tools
Configure
Shortcuts from the main window.
To set a global Source Editor keyboard shortcut:
- From the main window, choose Tools
Options.
The Options window is displayed.
- Select the Editor Settings node in the Options window.
The properties for global editor settings appear
in the right pane of the Options window.
- Select the Global Key Bindings property, then click the ellipsis (...)
button.
The Global Key Bindings Property Editor appears.
- In the Actions list, select the keyboard shortcut assignment you want to
specify, and click Add.
The Add Shortcut Sequence dialog box is displayed.
- In the Shortcut Sequence text field, press the keys you want to use
for the selected action.
As you press the keyboard sequence, the correct syntax for that sequence
automatically appears in the text field. For example, if you press the
Backspace key, the word "Backspace" appears. If you simultaneously hold down
the Alt key, the Control key, and the J key, "Ctrl+Alt+J" is generated.
