See the comprehensive list of key -commands in the [appendix][]. Key commands can be modified in your -[key preferences][]. - -[appendix]: 14_Appendix.html#Key.Bindings -[key preferences]: 9_Preferences.html#Key.Commands - -## Character Autopairing - -Usually, quote (`'`, `"`) and brace (`(`, `[`, `{`) characters go together in -pairs. By default, Textadept automatically inserts the complement character when -the first is typed. Similarly, the complement is deleted when you press -`Backspace` (`⌫`) over the first. See the [preferences][] page if you would like -to disable this. - -[preferences]: 9_Preferences.html#Module.Settings - -## Word Completion - -Textadept provides buffer-based word completion. Start typing a word, press -`Ctrl+Return` (`^⎋` on Mac OSX), and a list of suggested completions based on -words in the current document is provided. Continuing to type changes the -suggestion. Press `Return` (`↩`) to complete the selected word. - - - -## Adeptsense - -Textadept has the capability to autocomplete symbols for programming languages -and display API documentation. Lua is of course supported extremely well and -other languages have basic support with the help of [ctags][]. Symbol completion -is available by pressing `Ctrl+Space` (`⌥⎋` on Mac OSX). Documentation for -symbols is available with `Ctrl+H` (`^H`). - - - - - - - -For more information on adding adeptsense support for another language, see -the [LuaDoc][]. - -[ctags]: http://ctags.sf.net -[LuaDoc]: ../api/_M.textadept.adeptsense.html - -## Find and Replace - -`Ctrl+F` (`⌘F` on Mac OSX) brings up the Find/Replace dialog. In addition to -offering the usual find and replace, Textadept allows you to find with [Lua -patterns][] and replace with Lua captures and even Lua code! For example: -replacing all `(%w+)` with `%(string.upper('%1'))` capitalizes all words in the -buffer. Lua captures (`%n`) are only available from a Lua pattern search, but -embedded Lua code enclosed in `%()` is always allowed. - -Note the `Ctrl+G`, `Ctrl+Shift+G`, `Ctrl+Alt+R`, `Ctrl+Alt+Shift+R` key commands -for find next, find previous, replace, and replace all (`⌘G`, `⌘⇧G`, `^R`, `^⇧R` -respectively on Mac OSX) only work when the Find/Replace dialog is hidden. When -it is visible, use the button mnemonics: `Alt+N`, `Alt+P`, `Alt+R`, and `Alt+A` -(`⌘N`, `⌘P`, `⌘R`, `⌘A`) for English locale. - -[Lua patterns]: 14_Appendix.html#Lua.Patterns - -### Find in Files - -`Ctrl+Shift+F` brings up Find in Files (`⌘⇧F` on Mac OSX) and will prompt for a -directory to search. The results are displayed in a new buffer. Double-clicking -a search result jumps to it in the file. You can also use the `Ctrl+Alt+G` and -`Ctrl+Alt+Shift+G` (`^⌘G` and `^⌘⇧G` on Mac OSX) key commands. Replace in Files -is not supported. You will have to `Find in Files` first, and then `Replace All` -for each file a result is found in. The `Match Case`, `Whole Word`, and -`Lua pattern` flags still apply. - - - -### Find Incremental - -You can start an incremental search by pressing `Ctrl+Alt+F` (`^⌘F` on Mac OSX). -Incremental search searches the buffer as you type. Only the `Match Case` option -is recognized. Pressing `Esc` (`⎋`) stops it. - -### Replace in Selection - -By default, `Replace All` replaces all text in the buffer. If you want to -replace all text in just a portion of the buffer, select a block of text and -then `Replace All`. - -## Indentation - -### Change Indent Level - -The amount of indentation for a selected set of lines is increased by pressing -`Tab` (`⇥`) and decreased by pressing `Shift+Tab` (`⇧⇥`). Using these key -sequences when no selection is present does not have the same effect. - -### Change Indent Size - -The indent size is usually set by a [language-specific module][] or the -[theme][]. You can set it manually using the `Buffer -> Indentation` menu. -Textadept shows what it is using for indentation in the document statusbar. - - - -[language-specific module]: 7_Modules.html#Buffer.Properties -[theme]: 8_Themes.html#Buffer - -### Using Tabs - -You can use tabs instead of the default spaces by pressing `Ctrl+Alt+Shift+T` -(`^⇧T` on Mac OSX) or using the `Buffer -> Toggle Use Tabs` menu. Textadept -shows what it is using for indentation in the document statusbar. - -The default option is usually set by a [language-specific module][] or the -[theme][]. - -[language-specific module]: 7_Modules.html#Buffer.Properties -[theme]: 8_Themes.html#Buffer - -### Converting Indentation - -Use the `Edit -> Convert Indentation` menu to convert indentation. If the buffer -is using tabs, all spaces are converted to tabs. If the buffer is using spaces, -all tabs are converted to spaces. - -## Selecting Text - -### Rectangular Selection - -Holding `Alt+Shift` (`⌥⇧` on Mac OSX) and pressing the arrow keys enables -rectangular selections to be made. Start typing to type on each line. - - - - - -### Multiple Selection - -Clicking the mouse at a point in the buffer while holding `Control` places an -additional caret at that point. Clicking and dragging while holding `Control` -creates multiple selections. Start typing to enter text at each selection. - -This is currently unavailable on Mac OSX. - -### Selecting Entities - -Textadept allows you to select many different entities from the caret. For -example, `Ctrl+"` (`^"` on Mac OSX) selects all characters in a `""` sequence. -Typing `Ctrl++` (`^+`) as a follow-up selects the double-quotes too. See the -`Edit -> Select In...` menu for available entities and their key commands. - -## Enclosing Text - -As a complement to selecting entities, you can enclose text as entities. The -`Edit -> Selection -> Enclose In...` menu contains all available entities and -their key commands. - -If no text is selected, the word to the left of the caret is enclosed. - -## Word Highlight - -All occurrences of a given word are highlighted by putting the caret over the -word and pressing `Ctrl+Alt+Shift+H` (`⌘⇧H` on Mac OSX). This is useful to show -occurrences of a variable name in source code. - - - -## Editing Modes - -### Virtual Space - -Virtual space (freehand) mode is enabled and disabled with `Ctrl+Alt+Shift+V` -(`^⇧V` in Mac OSX). When enabled, caret movement is not restricted by line -endings. - -### Overwrite - -Overwrite mode is enabled and disabled with the `Insert` key. When enabled, -characters in the buffer will be overwritten instead of inserted as you type. -The caret also changes to an underline when in overwrite mode. |
