Myself hating mousing all over the screen I have to remind us of the
"slightly underdocumented" shortcut > shift-tab (and once you have used it
for the first time: also tab) which swaps the focus btw. the tree pane and
the code editor.
Once you are in the tree pane, use the down/up arrows to navigate, add
command to expand/collapse the selection.
In the Code editor standard, good-GUI rules apply for text editing, such as:
cmd-left - moves cursor to the top of the line
cmd-right - ...to the end of it
cmd-up - to the top of the code
cmd-down - to the bottom.
opt-left - moves cursor to prev word beginning available
opt-right - to next word beginning
opt-up - to the top of the visible screen portion
opt-down - to the bottom...
add shift to the above 8 commands to extend selection
Things that I am personally missing are:
- shortcuts for the icon gadgets under the tree list
- shortcut for selecting current line
- shortcut to open code editor tfor the super class (when in a subclassed
item)
- shortcut to activate the name field in the properties palette.
- being able to map shortcuts for code editors of 10 selectable items on a
fixed basis (i.e. in such a way, where closing a window does not change the
mapping of cmd-# for the rest of the windows).
I think it does not make sense to file report for every single shortcut
idea, especially that it does not always bring an effect. I would recommend
banning the use of any pointing devices at RS for two or three days and let
the guys do the RB prototyping in RB...
[But folks, let's admit - the eye-dropper to copy text in the Code Editor
deserves a Noble prize, doesn't it?]
Cheers,
Artur
