| 38 | |
| 39 | ## Editing |
| 40 | |
| 41 | Handled by the window that has the focus. |
| 42 | |
| 43 | ### Movement |
| 44 | |
| 45 | | Key | Action | |
| 46 | | --- | --- | |

| 83 | | --- | --- | |

| 86 | | `F1` | Describe the symbol under the cursor | |
| 87 | | `F12` | Go to the declaration | |
| 88 | |
| 89 | ## Menu bar |
| 90 | |
| 91 | Once a menu is open. |
| 92 | |
| 93 | | Key | Action | |
| 94 | | --- | --- | |
| 95 | | `←` `→` | Previous / next menu | |
| 96 | | `↑` `↓` | Previous / next item, skipping separators and disabled items | |
| 97 | | `Enter` | Run the highlighted item | |
| 98 | | `<letter>` | Run the item whose label carries that letter | |
| 99 | | `Escape` | Close the menu | |
| 100 | |
| 101 | An item marked `▶` opens a submenu instead of running: |
| 102 | |
| 103 | | Key | Action | |
| 104 | | --- | --- | |
| 105 | | `→`, `Enter` | Open the highlighted submenu; `→` on an item without one moves to the next menu | |
| 106 | | `←` | Step back out to the parent menu | |
| 107 | | `Escape` | Close the whole menu, wherever you are | |
| 108 | | `↑` `↓` | Walk the submenu | |
| 109 | | `<letter>` | Run the submenu item whose label carries that letter | |
| 110 | |
| 111 | Any other key is swallowed, so stray typing never reaches the file behind. |
| 112 | |
| 113 | ## Dialogs |
| 114 | |
| 115 | | Key | Action | |
| 116 | | --- | --- | |
| 117 | | `Tab` / `Shift-Tab` | Next / previous control | |
| 118 | | `↑` `↓` | Walk the focused list; when the focused control has no use for them, the next / previous control | |
| 119 | | `Enter` | Press the default button, from wherever the focus is | |
| 120 | | `Escape` | Cancel | |
| 121 | | `Alt-<letter>` | Press the button whose label carries that letter | |
| 122 | | `Ctrl-U` | Clear the focused input field | |
| 123 | |
| 124 | A dialog is modal: every key it does not use is swallowed rather than passed to the editor behind it. |
| 125 | |
| 126 | ### The Open and Save As box |
| 127 | |
| 128 | | | | |
| 129 | | --- | --- | |
| 130 | | Focus on opening | The **Name** field, so a name can be typed straight away. The first `↓` therefore moves the focus to the list; the second moves the highlight. | |
| 131 | | Moving the highlight | Puts that entry's name into the **Name** field, so the field always says what **OK** will act on. Highlighting `../` clears it. | |
| 132 | | `Enter` on the list | Opens the highlighted file, or browses into the highlighted directory | |
| 133 | | **OK** | Acts on the **Name** field; when the field is empty, acts on whatever the list has highlighted | |
| 134 | | A name that is a directory | Browses into it rather than closing the dialog | |
| 135 | | Double click | The same as `Enter` on that entry | |
| 136 | |
| 137 | Dot-files are not listed. Directories come before files, each group sorted, with `../` first. |
| 138 | |
| 139 | ## Completion popup |
| 140 | |
| 141 | | Key | Action | |
| 142 | | --- | --- | |
| 143 | | `↑` `↓` | Previous / next suggestion | |
| 144 | | `PgUp` `PgDn` | Eight at a time | |
| 145 | | `Enter`, `Tab` | Accept the highlighted suggestion | |
| 146 | | `Escape` | Dismiss the list | |
| 147 | | any printable character | Passed through to the editor; the list narrows to what still matches | |
| 148 | |
| 149 | ## Terminal windows |
| 150 | |
| 151 | A terminal window in front gets **every key except** the function keys, `Alt-X` and `Alt-0`…`Alt-9`, which stay with the editor so there is always a way out of a full-screen program. `Ctrl-C`, `Ctrl-W`, `Ctrl-F` and `Alt-<letter>` therefore reach the shell rather than the editor. |
| 152 | |
| 153 | | Key | Action | |
| 154 | | --- | --- | |
| 155 | | `Shift-PgUp` `Shift-PgDn` | Read back / forward one screenful through the history | |
| 156 | | anything else not reserved above | Sent to the shell, returning the view to the live screen | |
| 157 | |
| 158 | The exact byte each key sends is in [Terminal windows](terminal.md). |
| 159 | |
| 160 | ## Project tree |
| 161 | |
| 162 | Handled when the tree window has the focus. The full rules are in [Project tree](project-tree.md). |
| 163 | |
| 164 | | Key | Action | |
| 165 | | --- | --- | |
| 166 | | `↑` `↓` `PgUp` `PgDn` `Home` `End` | Move the highlight | |
| 167 | | `→` | Expand a closed directory, else step to the next row | |
| 168 | | `←` | Collapse an open directory, else step out to its directory | |
| 169 | | `Enter` | Open a file; expand or collapse a directory | |
| 170 | | `F5`, `Ctrl-R` | Re-read the project | |
| 171 | |
| 172 | ## Mouse |
