Script Editor Keyboard Shortcuts

[john.denner]

I stumbled across a keyboard shortcut in the script editor that I use in my external editor which prompted me to explore what other keyboard shortcuts we available; other than the usual copy, paste, select all, etc. Turns out there are a lot of them. So for those who script a lot in the editor, here is a link to default keyboard shortcuts for the ace editor. Not all of the shortcuts listed work but it looks like the most useful ones work very well. 🙂

Some especially useful ones are:

• ctrl-/    comment/uncomment the line or selection
• alt-up/down   move a line or selection up or down
• alt-shift-down/up    copy a line or selection down or up
• ctrl-d    delete the line
• ctrl-u    change selection to uppercase
• ctrl-alt-up/down    add additional cursor up or down
• ctrl-click    add additional cursors wherever you click
• ctrl-h    find and replace
• alt-0    fold all
• alt-shift-0    unfold all
• ctrl-,    Probably use this one with caution. It opens up the editor settings panel.
