GoldSim provides a number of hot-keys for accessing common
Script element functions directly from the
keyboard:
| Hot-key | Description |
| Ctrl+D | Inserts a Variable Definition statement |
| Ctrl+A | Inserts a Variable Assignment statement |
| Ctrl+I | Inserts If-Else statement block |
| Ctrl+F | Inserts FOR loop statement block |
| Ctrl+O | Inserts DO loop statement block |
| Ctrl+P | Inserts REPEAT-UNTIL loop statement block |
| Ctrl+W | Inserts WHILE loop statement block |
| Ctrl+M | Inserts a Comments statement |
| Ctrl+L | Inserts a Log Message statement |
| Ctrl+N | Inserts a Log Warning statement |
| Ctrl+R | Inserts a Log Error statement |
| Ctrl+Delete | Deletes selected statement(s) |
| Ctrl+Shift+Delete | Deletes all statements |
| Cursor Up | Select previous statement |
| Cursor Down | Select next statement |
| Ctrl+Cursor Up | Selects first statement |
| Ctrl+Cursor Down | Selects last statement |
| Alt+Enter | Edits active statement (opens dialog) |
| Ctrl+Shift+Cursor Up | Moves active statement up by one row |
| Ctrl+Shift+Cursor Down | Moves active statement down by one row |
In addition to these, several additional hot-keys are used for debugging scripts.
Note: If you use one of the statement insertion hot-keys, the statement(s) will be inserted immediately after the active line of the script. If you use one of the insertion hot-key combinations while holding down the shift key, the inserted statement(s) will appear before rather than after the active line.
Note: When inserting statement blocks (e.g., If-Else statement, For loops), you can select one or more statements in an existing script (by left-clicking and dragging the line numbers), and when you use insertion hot-keys, GoldSim will "wrap" the statement block around the selected statements. Note, however, that this requires that the selection is a logically complete block of code (e.g., you could not select a portion of another loop).
