Activating the Command Line

The SlickEdit® Core Command Line

SlickEdit Core provides its own command line as a means to execute most SlickEdit Core operations so you can work without taking your hands off of the keyboard. This is useful for less frequently used opera- tions that may not warrant a key binding, or complex commands that require arguments.

Note

•SlickEdit® Core commands that contain two or more words are written throughout our docu- mentation with underscore separators: for example, cursor_down. Note that in the user inter- face, however, these commands are displayed with hyphen separators: for example, cursor- down. Both of these forms work, so you can use whichever style you prefer.

•Although SlickEdit® Core shares a heritage with our stand-alone editor, SlickEdit, some SlickEdit commands may not available when the functionality is not applicable to the Eclipse environment.
