KEY AND MOUSE BINDINGS
range for alt_bookmark is displayed as Ctrl+0 -> Ctrl+9 in CUA emulation. Key binding ranges are also
shown when using the Export and Save Chart features.
You cannot remove a single key combination from within a range, but you can rebind the key range to a
different command. If you unbind a command that is bound to a range, the entire range is unbound.
Key Binding Settings
The following are settings that you can make pertaining to key bindings.
Key Message Delay
For key bindings that contain multiple key combinations, like Ctrl+X,Ctrl+C, you can specify the maximum
delay between the two combinations. If that time limit is exceeded, this key sequence will be interpreted as
two separate bindings, executing the command bound to Ctrl+X followed by the command bound to
Ctrl+C, rather than the command bound to Ctrl+X,Ctrl+C.
To change this option, click Tools > Options > Keyboard > Advanced, then set the Key message delay
for the amount, in tenths of a second, to delay before a prefix key. The prefix key is not displayed if the next
key is pressed before the delay specified in this text box.
Using Shorter Key Names in Menus
The SlickEdit® main menu displays the key bindings for commands associated with each menu entry.
These bindings can be condensed for non-CUA emulations. See Short Key Names in Menus for more
information.
