<tmdoc-title|General prefix rules>
|
||
|
||
Since there are many keyboard shortcuts, it is important to have some ways
|
||
of classifying them in several categories, in order to make it easier to
|
||
memorize them. As a general rule, keyboard shortcuts which fall in the same
|
||
category are identified by a common prefix. The active prefixes heavily
|
||
depend on the selected ``look and feel'' in <menu|Edit|Preferences>. In the
|
||
current look and feel of your <TeXmacs> system,<space|0.4spc>the main
|
||
common prefixes are as follows:
|
||
|
||
<\description>
|
||
<item*|<prefix|std>>Standard shortcuts, which are similar to shortcuts
|
||
used by other applications (for the selected look and feel). For
|
||
instance, <shortcut|(clipboard-paste "primary")> can be used for pasting
|
||
text on your system.
|
||
|
||
<item*|<prefix|cmd>><TeXmacs> shortcuts, which often rely on the current
|
||
editing mode. For instance, <key|text s> produces <strong|strong> text in
|
||
text mode and a square root <math|<sqrt|>> in math mode.
|
||
|
||
<item*|<prefix|altcmd>>Compound <TeXmacs> shortcuts. Usually, these
|
||
shortcuts first indicate the kind of markup to which the command will
|
||
apply and then specify the specific command. For instance, the
|
||
<key|executable> prefix is used for insering executable markup, which is
|
||
useful for <hlink|writing style files|../../../devel/style/style.en.tm>.
|
||
One example is the shortcut <key|executable +> for the insertion of an
|
||
addition.
|
||
|
||
<item*|<prefix|structured:geometry>>This prefix is used in combination
|
||
with arrow keys and certain other special keys for <hlink|positioning and
|
||
resizing objects|../../editing/man-structured-geometry.en.tm>
|
||
|
||
<item*|<prefix|structured:move>>This prefix is used in combination with
|
||
arrow keys and some other special keys for <hlink|structured cursor
|
||
movements|../../editing/man-structured-move.en.tm>.
|
||
|
||
<item*|<prefix|special>>This prefix is occasionally used in combination
|
||
with letters and ponctuation symbols for creating some additional easy to
|
||
remind shortcuts.
|
||
|
||
<item*|<prefix|symbol>>This prefix can be used in combination with normal
|
||
letters for the insertion of special symbols. For instance,
|
||
<key|text:symbol s> yields <EFBFBD> and <key|math:symbol a> yields
|
||
<math|<op|\<amalg\>>>. The <prefix|symbol> prefix is also used for the
|
||
insertion of ``literal characters''. For instance, <key|symbol \\> will
|
||
always produce the \\ character, whereas the <key|\\> key is used for
|
||
entering <hlink|hybrid commands|man-hybrid.en.tm>.
|
||
</description>
|
||
|
||
Unfortunately, <prefix|altcmd>-based shortcuts are superseded by system
|
||
shortcuts on several systems. For instance, accented characters and common
|
||
special symbols are entered using this prefix under <name|Mac OS>. In that
|
||
case, you may use the <key*|escape> key as an equivalent for <key|altcmd>.
|
||
For more information, we refer to the section on <hlink|keyboard
|
||
configuration|../../config/man-config-keyboard.en.tm>.
