5.2 Editing Sources

5.2.1 Key bindings

In addition to the standard keys used to navigate in the editor (up, down, right, left, page up, page down), the integrated editor provides a number of key bindings allowing easy navigation in the file.

There are also several ways to define new key bindings, see Defining text aliases and Binding actions to keys.
