Chapter IX. Shortcuts available within Bluefish

1. General Shortcuts
2. HTML Shortcuts

Here we will try to reference all the shortcuts available within Bluefish to perform a given action.

The here-below tables list the editor window accelerator keys (EWA keys), the contextual menus keys (CM keys), and the toolbars' icons. Some shortcuts appear in several tables to make easy the search for a given action.

You may always change the editor window accelerator keys, as explained in the Section 1, “Modifying shortcut keys”.

1. General Shortcuts

Here are the shortcuts that apply to all types of documents.

[Note]

For the Filebrowser contextual (FileB. in the table), we distinguish the directory part with D and the files part with F. When no letter appears after the name, the shortcut applies to both parts.

[Warning]

The contextual menus shortcuts listed below are only valid for English language.
