Keyboard Shortcuts

This help describes some of the default keyboard shortcuts used by PN2. You can find and customise all shortcuts in the options dialog.

The Escape Key

The escape key can often be used to get you out of dialogs - it generally represents the pressing of the cancel button in these cases. The escape button can also be used to hide any output, find in files or find bar windows that are visible. So if you run a compile which shows you some output, and then you don't want to see the output window any more then just press escape until it goes away!

Window Navigation

To go to the next window, you can use either Ctrl-Tab or Ctrl-F6. Depending on your options, this will either navigate through documents in Windows' own recent window order, or will use a Visual-Studio window stack system. Note that you can hold down the Shift key with either of these combinations to traverse in the opposite direction. If you edit many files at the same time, their tabs may not fit the window width. In such a case, you can use the two little arrows (next to the close document button) to scroll through them.

Output Window

There are two types of output window (from 0.4 onwards). The global output window (dockable) can be toggled with F8, and individual output windows can be toggled with Shift-F8.

Indent Unindent

Select a block of text over a line and use the Tab key to indent (by either tab characters or spaces depending on your settings). Use Shift-Tab to unindent.

Selection

Linear select: Shift+Cursor Movement such as shift+page down, or shift+ctrl+right arrow (select till next word boundary). Box Select: Alt+selection. Again Alt+dragging mouse or using alt+shift+arrow keys or other navigation keys (home, page up, page down etc.) will select a block. Multi-Select: ctrl + selection. Multi-select uses the multiple-edit feature of placing the cursor in multiple locations. For this reason it is best to use the mouse for selection. Simply make a selection. Then press ctrl and use the mouse to choose a new cursor location by pressing the left mouse button. Drag the cursor with the mouse to select the new text. Note that with multi-select paste will only work in the last selection made but will clear all other selections. The same is true with placing the cursor in multiple places -- paste will only occur at the last one (but typing will occur at all cursor locations).
