Key bindings for [[Eclipse]] can be seen by using the {{code|Window->Preferences, General->Keys}} path, but these can be overridden by a perspective.  You can also see the same list by {{keypress|Ctrl|Shift|L}}, but again, that is an incomplete list because shortcuts can be added silently by various perspectives and plug-ins.

Following are some shortcuts suggested by users (that is, they don't come with the IBM software distribution)  To set up your own custom shortcuts:
 +
* Check that the key isn't already assigned.  If it is, your custom shortcut will override the provided shortcut.
 +
* {{code|Windows->Preferences,  LPEX Editor->User Key Actions}}

 +
==User LPEX commands==
 +
 
 +
User commands are formally known as User Commands.
 +
 
 +
Eclipse and LPEX allow you to add user written commands or some of the sample commands as commands you can assign to a keyboard shortcuts or type into the LPEX command line.  Commands do not need to be prefixed by the "action" command.  Examples of commands are trim and sort. 
 +
 
 +
To see a list of the sample actions and commands supplied by IBM type "?samples" into the LPEX command line and press Enter.
 +
 
 +
#To add a sample command you need to open the preferences, expand the "LPEX Editor" section and look for the "User Commands".
 +
#Key the command word you want to use in the Name input
 +
#Key the sample class name in the Class input or select from the drop down.

User-suggested keyboard shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts are more formally known as User Key Actions. See Remap keyboard shortcuts

Following are some shortcuts suggested by users (that is, they don't come with the IBM software distribution) To set up your own custom shortcuts:

  • Check that the key isn't already assigned. If it is, your custom shortcut will override the provided shortcut.
  • Windows->Preferences, LPEX Editor->User Key Actions
  • In the 'Key' box, enter the key in the form c-a-s-x where
    • c means hold down the Ctrl key. This is optional.
    • a means hold down th Alt key This is optional.
    • s means hold down the Shift key This is optional.
    • x is the actual key on the keyboard.
Key Function Description
