• A menu hotkey is a key sequence that corresponds to an underlined letter on a menu name.
Managing Bindings
Create and manage key bindings using the Key Bindings dialog. The dialog displays a list of all SlickEdit®
Core commands, including macros that you have recorded, their associated key sequences, and the lan-
guage editing mode in which the key binding can be used. Documentation for the selected command, if
available, is also displayed. The Key Bindings dialog provides capabilities to incrementally search by
command or by key sequence, export and import custom bindings, save an HTML chart of your bindings,
and run a selected command or user-recorded macro.
To access the Key Bindings dialog, click Window → Preferences, expand SlickEdit and click General in
the tree, then double-click the Key Bindings setting, or use the gui_keybindings command.
The first time the Key Bindings dialog is invoked, the Building Tag File progress bar may be displayed
while Slick-C® macro code is tagged.
