Keyboard Shortcuts

[matthewkaney]

I'm bad at using keyboard shortcuts when I write code, so I don't have a good sense of what's useful to folks. What are your favorite keybindings?

Some categories:

• Basic editor commands/common modes (Emacs keybindings exist within CodeMirror already, and would be easy to enable)
• Commands specific to this editor/live coding:
  • Evaluate code (at various levels of specificity)
  • Clear (or hide) console messages
• Other functions?

Basics

• copy/cut/paste all work well already
• undo/redo (ctrl+z/ctrl+y): do not work as expected most of the time
• save (ctrl+s) and save as (shift+ctrl+s)
• open (ctrl+o)
• new (ctrl+n) (? not sure if this applies in the context of text.management's single file mode)

Nice to have:

• an auto comment/uncomment shortcut would be nice (not sure of the standard keymapping for this)
• it would be nice if the auto comment/uncomment could apply to a block of selected code
• some vim features such as bookmarks in code for easily jumping to sections could be nice too?

Thanks!

#15 should cover save/save as/open/new and #43 captures the bugs with undo/redo.

Auto-commenting actually came free from Codemirror, so it's in there! It's Ctrl+/ and works both with the current line and selected block in basically the way you'd expect.
