Code Modals Shortcuts – Support

In the editor, you can add code through different modals: the code modals (Variation CSS, Variation JavaScript, Element JavaScript).

For these modals, we use Code Mirror, a code editor library. This library contains a large range of shortcuts available on both PC and MAC.

If you want to, please go to the exhaustive list, if you're interested in the ones implemented on AB Tasty, here is the list: defaultTab, delCharAfter, delCharBefore, deleteLine, delGroupAfter, delGroupBefore, delLineLeft, delWordAfter, delWordBefore, delWrappedLineLeft, delWrappedLineRight, find, findNext, findPrev, goCharLeft, goCharRight, goDocEnd, goDocStart, goGroupLeft, goGroupRight, goLineDown, goLineEnd, goLineLeft, goLineRight, goLineStart, goLineUp, goPageDown, goPageUp, goWordLeft, goWordRight, indentAuto, indentLess, indentMore, insert, insertSoft, killLine, newlineAndIndent, redo, redoSelection, replace, replaceAll, selectAll, transposeChars, undo, undoSelection...
