Slick V3.3 manual Navigating in Statements and Tags, Navigating Between Words

Cursor Navigation

The cursor is moved half the window width to the left/right as well.

Navigating in Statements and Tags

The following navigation commands are available for languages that support statement tagging:

•next_tag/prev_tag - Places the cursor on the next/previous tag definition, skipping any tags filtered out by the Outline view.

•next_proc/prev_proc - Places the cursor on the next/previous function heading.

•find_tag - Displays a list of tags in the Select a Tag dialog, allowing you to pick the tag to which you want to navigate.

•goto_tag - Prompts for a procedure tag name and places the cursor on the definition of the procedure name specified. This command is available in GNU Emacs emulation mode only.

•end_tag - Places the cursor at the end of the current symbol definition. This is useful if you are in the middle of a large function or class definition and you want to jump to the end of it. In a class definition in C++, the end is where inline function definitions are usually stored.

•end_proc - Moves the cursor to the end of the current procedure.

•next_statement/prev_statement - Moves the cursor to the beginning of the next/previous statement.

•begin_statement/end_statement - Places the cursor at the beginning/end of the current statement.

•next_sibling/prev_sibling - Moves the cursor to the beginning of the next/previous sibling. These are similar to the next_statement/prev_statement commands except they stay at one level of nesting.

•goto_parent - Moves the cursor to the beginning of the enclosing statement or symbol scope relative to the current cursor position.

•begin_statement_block/end_statement_block - Moves the cursor to the beginning/end of the current statement block.

Navigating Between Words

To navigate between words, use the next_word (Ctrl+Right) and prev_word (Ctrl+Left) commands. The next_word command moves the cursor to the beginning of the next word. The prev_word command moves the cursor to the beginning of the previous word.

You can specify whether the cursor moves to the beginning or the end of the next/previous word. Click Window → Preferences, expand SlickEdit and click General in the tree, then double-click the General setting. On the General Options dialog, select the More Tab. Set the Next word style to Begin or End. This affects both next_word and prev_word commands.

Navigating to a Specific Line
