Menu Shortcut Keys Preferences

You can use the Menu Shortcut Keys preference page to configure shortcut keys for the actions available in Oxygen XML Editor. The shortcuts assigned to actions are displayed in the table in this preference page. To configure the shortcut keys, open the Preferences dialog box (Options > Preferences) and go to Menu Shortcut Keys (or Options > Menu Shortcut Keys).

The Menu Shortcut Keys preferences page also contains the shortcuts that you define at document type level.
Note: A shortcut defined at document type level overwrites a default shortcut.

To find a specific action, you can use the filter to search through any of the columns in the table. You can also click on a column header to sort the column.

The table includes the following columns:

  • Description - A short description of the action.
  • Category - A classification of the actions in categories for easier management and more flexibility in assigning multiple keys for the same action. For example, by default, the Remove all action has one shortcut key assigned for bookmarks and another one assigned for breakpoints.
  • Shortcut key - The combination of keyboard keys that can be used to launch the action. To add or change a shortcut key, you can either double-click a row or select the row and press the Edit button.
  • 'Home' and 'End' keys are applied at line level (available on Mac OS X only) - Controls the way the HOME and END keys are interpreted. If enabled, the default behavior of these keys is overridden and the cursor only moves on the current line.
