- command contained in the <span class="guisubmenu"><strong>Scrolling</strong></span>
- submenu of the <span class="guimenu"><strong>View</strong></span> menu.</td></tr><tr><td><span class="guimenu"><strong>Edit</strong></span>><span class="guimenuitem"><strong>Go to

- dialog boxes.</td></tr><tr><td><code class="keycap">C</code></td><td>The primary modifier key in jEdit. On MacOS X, this
- is actually the key known as “<span class="quote">Command</span>”. On most
- other keyboards, this key is labelled
- “<span class="quote">Control</span>”.</td></tr><tr><td><code class="keycap">A</code></td><td>The secondary modifier key in jEdit. On MacOS X, this
- is actually the key labelled “<span class="quote">Control</span>”. On most
- other keyboards, this key is labelled
- “<span class="quote">Alt</span>”.</td></tr><tr><td><code class="keycap">S</code></td><td>The standard “<span class="quote">Shift</span>” key.</td></tr><tr><td><code class="keycap">C+o</code></td><td>Refers to pressing and holding the
- <code class="keycap">Control</code> key, pressing and releasing
- <code class="keycap">O</code>, and finally releasing the

- pressing <code class="keycap">E</code>, pressing <code class="keycap">J</code>,
- and releasing <code class="keycap">Control</code>.</td></tr><tr><td>Default buttons</td><td>In many dialog boxes, the default button (it has a
- heavy outline, or a special border, depending on the current
- Swing look and feel) can be activated by pressing
- <code class="keycap">Enter</code>. Similarly, pressing
- <code class="keycap">Escape</code> will usually close a dialog
- box.</td></tr><tr><td><code class="keycap">Alt</code>-key mnemonics</td><td>Some user interface elements (menus, menu items,
- buttons) have a certain letter in their label underlined.
- Pressing this letter in combination with the
- <code class="keycap">Alt</code> key activates the associated user
- interface widget. Note that this functionality is not
- available on MacOS X with the “<span class="quote">MacOS Adaptive</span>”
- look and feel. See <a class="xref" href="global-opts.html#appearance-pane" title="The Appearance Pane">the section called “The Appearance Pane”</a> for
- information on changing the look and feel.</td></tr><tr><td>Right mouse button</td><td>Used in jEdit to show context-sensitive menus. If you
- have a one button Macintosh mouse, a
- <code class="keycap">Control</code>-click has the same effect.</td></tr><tr><td>Middle mouse button</td><td>Used by the quick copy feature (see <a class="xref" href="text-transfer.html#quick-copy" title="Quick Copy">the section called “Quick Copy”</a>). True 3-button mice are rare these
- days. If you have a wheel mouse, press down on the wheel
- without rolling it. On a Macintosh with a one-button mouse,
- <code class="keycap">Option</code>-click. On other platforms without a
- three-button mouse, <code class="keycap">Alt</code>-click.</td></tr></tbody></table></div></div><div class="navfooter"><hr><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="using-jedit-part.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="using-jedit-part.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="starting.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">Part I.
