Managing Bindings

Bindings are based on the editor emulation mode (CUA is the default). The title bar of the Key Bindings dialog shows the current emulation. (To change the emulation mode, see Changing Emulations.)

The Search by command and Search by key sequence boxes are used to filter the data. See Viewing and Filtering Bindings.

The Command column shows all of the SlickEdit Core commands including macros that you have recor- ded. The Key Sequence column shows the key sequence or mouse event to which the command/macro is bound. If there is no binding, this field is empty. The Mode column shows the language editing mode to which the binding is assigned. The Recorded column indicates if the item is a command (No) or user- recorded macro (Yes).

Tip

What is a language editing mode? SlickEdit Core uses the extension of the current file to determ- ine what language you are using, thereby only making available the options and features that are possible or useful in that language. You can also manually set the language editing mode. See
