IDE/Editor Short Cut Keys for Windows Users #321

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What change would like to see?

Support for ctrl+ins and shft+ins for copy/paste
Ctrl+end/up/down etc to highlight text

Why?

I know many windows users who can't use the arduino ide because these shortcuts 
are missing. This is what we are used to using. Thanks

As a Windows user, I don't think "Ctrl+Insert" or "Shift+Insert" are what 
Windows users are "used to", these are Linux / terminal frequently used 
commands. For Windows, the standard is Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V (which do work in the 
Arduino IDE).

As for Ctrl+End/Home, I think the appropriate shortcuts would be 
Ctrl+Shift+Home and Ctrl+Shift+End - very useful for selecting all text from 
the current line to the beginning/ending of the file (see ie. Notepad, Word, 
etc. behaviour).

Shift+Up/Down/Right/Left already work, I don't understand what Ctrl+Up/Down 
would be supposed to do. This issue needs more clarification.

Hi, Thanks for your consideration of this. Actually CTRL+INS and SHIFT+INS has 
been supported in windows longer than Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V. More recent windows users 
will not know about the INS keys but longer term windows users will know about 
these keys and probably use them.

Ctrl+End/Home simply repositions to start/end of document without highlight (my 
report was confusing). 

Thanks again
