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

User-suggested 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
a-s splitAndShift Split the line at the cursor position but do not start the new line at column 1, keep the new line aligned where the split point is. Replaces the supplied function split
c-a-f findSelection Performs a search on text that is selected. Will only search once unless the Find dialogue has Select Found Text selected. Can also be set by set findText.mark on
c-s-f filterSelection Filters on the selected text, showing only lines having the selection. Ctrl-U to undo the filter and see all lines.

LPEX commands

In addition to the keyboard shortcuts, the command line (at the bottom of the editing window) offers a range of available options.

  • Sort will sort a range of selected lines (for instance, select your D specs and type sort in the command line).
  • Help will show help for specific commands (help sort).
