  2. Several conventions are used throughout jEdit's user interface and

  13. The primary modifier key in jEdit. On MacOS X, this is actually the
  14. key known as &#8220;<span class="quote">Command</span>&#8221;. On most other keyboards, this key is
  15. labelled &#8220;<span class="quote">Control</span>&#8221;.

  28. In many dialog boxes, the default button (it has a heavy outline, or a
  29. special border, depending on the current Swing look and feel) can be activated by
  30. pressing <tt class="keycap">Enter</tt>. Similarly, pressing
  31. <tt class="keycap">Escape</tt> will usually close a dialog box.

  33. </td><td>
  34. Some user interface elements (menus, menu items, buttons) have a
  35. certain letter in their label underlined. Pressing this letter in combination
  36. with the <tt class="keycap">Alt</tt> key activates the associated user interface
  37. widget. Note that this functionality is not available on MacOS X with the &#8220;<span class="quote">MacOS Adaptive</span>&#8221; look and feel. See <a href="global-opts.html#appearance-pane" title="The Appearance Pane">the section called &#8220;The Appearance Pane&#8221;</a> for information on changing the look and feel.

  44. </td><td>
  45. Used by the quick copy feature (see <a href="text-transfer.html#quick-copy" title="Quick Copy">the section called &#8220;Quick Copy&#8221;</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, <tt class="keycap">Option</tt>-click. On other platforms without a three-button mouse, <tt class="keycap">Alt</tt>-click.
