Turn on light at sunset

I’m guessing you knew about Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shitf+Tab?

I didn’t - but seems to tab through open files (forward/backward), bit of a timesaver, thanks

Found the rainbow brackets too, long templates get me all turned around !
(Dang, it ignores curly brackets, but I ‘spose’ I can live with that :roll_eyes: ) (my error, the template only had double curlies on the last (v.short) line all the rest were white, so I “assumed”; ignoring the pair that were orange - everything good !)
This is a REALLY Nice piece of software, with some genius extensions !

Try it with a block of text highlighted.

There are also a ton of keyboard shortcuts. For example, Ctrl-k-c will comment a block of selected text and Ctrl-k-u will uncomment it.

I use Ctrl + / for toggling comments.

@tom_l’s Ctrl+/ works for me, Ctrl+k+u doesn’t
Mind you, the edit tab says that Shift+Alt+A does block comments but it does nothing - don’t even know if yaml does block comments, it’s not python so … :man_shrugging:

Hmm, it should work. Select block of text then hold Ctrl down, and while holding it, press K then C.
Shortcut list for Windows is here:

Relevant excerpt:

Ctrl+K Ctrl+C Add line comment
Ctrl+K Ctrl+U Remove line comment
Ctrl+/ Toggle line comment
Shift+Alt+A Toggle block comment

Ahh ! Ctrl+(k then u) works but TBH Tom’s Ctrl+/ is easier Can’t do anything with Shift+Alt+A …

I’ll have a read through but unless you use these shortcuts regularly …

I watched a guy editing text in notepad recently (he was maybe 35) I asked him why he wasn’t using Ctrl+cursorkey and he looked at me blankly, I showed him and he was very grateful, started using it straight away. The following week he was back to the cursor keys …

Yeah but Ctrl+KC is awash in WordStar goodness …

( … younger folk scrambling to search for definition of WordStar … )

Ha ! … GUI’s are for pussies !
