Shortcuts

  • 4 minutes to read

The Shortcuts options page contains CodeRush Classic shortcut options.

opShortcuts

Shortcuts are listed in tabular fashion. This table details the main information on each shortcut: shortcut (keys combination), action, and context. The table items are grouped into the tree to simplify a search for a shortcut.

The buttons over the table manage the table items:

Button Description
scCreateShortcut Creates a new shortcut.
scCreateMouseShortcut Creates a new mouse shortcut.
scDuplicateShortcut Duplicates the selected shortcut. The button is available if a shortcut is selected.
scNewFolder Creates a new folder.
scRenameFolder Renames the selected folder. The button is available if a folder is selected.
scDelete Deletes the selected folder or shortcut. If you delete a folder, all shortcuts contained in the folder are also deleted.
scShowShortcutFolders If the button is pressed, the shortcuts are shown without folders. Otherwise, folders are shown.
scFindShortcut Opens the Find window used to find the desired shortcut.
scLeftRightAlt Press the button to distinguish left and right ALT keys (does not affect mouse shortcuts).

  • Mouse Shortcut - searches for a mouse shortcut by mouse event and key combination.
