Keyboard selecting and cut/past shortcuts

gilman

Hi F4NS team
I am quite the hobbyist coder. I noticed some common keyboard shortcuts I use are not supported in F4NS. For example, highlighting a line (or portion thereof) using shift+home or shift+end. Similarly shift+del to cut selected text is one that I do absentmindedly and realize I just deleted a block of code instead of cutting.

Another great function some code editors do, is if you highlight a block of code, and press tab it doesnt replace your code, but rather indents it all in one level. Its a nice time saver.

Overall great product. I have been using it to encourage my son to code and we enjoy it very much

I’ve never heard of Shift-DEL. It’s most commonly Ctrl-X. To get into select mode, press Alt. Press again to toggle off. All you page up/down etc will then work.

I agree on the block tabbing but unfortunately there are much higher priorities

I like:

ctrl + backspace to delete the word left from the cursor.
ctrl + arrow key to move the cursor one word through the text,
ctrl + shift + arrow key to select per word,
ctrl + delete to delete the word right from the cursor (although I normally just use ctrl + backspace though, but I use it a lot)

Edit: adding more to the list (to keep my suggestions in one post):

shift + tab remove the tab on the left of the cursor
using tab or shfit + tab while having text selected: indent the selected lines (add or remove a tab to it all): very useful if you added or removed an if statement around the selected code for example.

I really like ctrl + alt + delete myself

I'd love to have a key combination to move instantly from the code window to the image editor without navigating menus. I know there's not a lot but when you move back and forth a lot of times (and I do), one dreams of a faster way.

Not at my switch now, but I think it was F4 (or one of the other function keys) that jumps to tools? I don't think you enter the Image Editor directly, but it might save a few steps?

@SteveZX81 https://fuzearena.com/help/view/Keyboard Shortcuts F6 is your command of choice, if I'm not mistaken.
