Emulation key-stoke help
« on: September 24, 2009, 12:58:59 PM »
Is there some place in SE that I can see the emulation key-strokes cheat-sheet?  That is, what is the "cut" keystroke in Brief, or CodeWright, or ???

I'm actually trying to figure out if Brief or CodeWright supports bookmarks.  That is, marking a spot, and being able to key-stoke back to it.

Thanks

Assuming your running version 14....

Tools - Options.  Search for Keybindings.  (Keyboard -> Key Bindings)
There's a Save Chart button - puts it out to .html

There is no "save as" option in the Key-binding window, for version 11.

I haven't found any Brief or CodeWright key chart in SE help.  Has anybody ever seen one there?

Thanks

Try 'list-keydefs' on SE cmdline. Not as convenient as a chart but useful.
Edit: And check the 'docs' subdir in the SE install dir. It should contain 'Brief_Emulation.pdf' and 'CodeWright_Emulation.pdf' besides other useful documentation.

Can someone explain this keystroke to me: def  'M-I'= insert_toggle
What is an M-I keystroke?  I see M, S, A, and C buttons.  What are these key combo's?

Thanks for the PDF location.  That is what I was looking for.

@brief: insert-toggle toggles between overwrite / insert mode,
S, C, A (and M) are modifier keys:
S == <SHIFT>
C == <CTRL>
A == <ALT> == M (usually)


You can use the <F1> key when the cursor is on a Slick-C command/function (in a Slick-C file) to get context sensitive help.
'help <command>' on cmdline or via menu 'Help>Index: <command>' works too.
