- Several conventions are used throughout jEdit's user interface and
- this manual. They will be described here. Macintosh users should note how their modifier keys map to the terms used in the manual.

- The <span><b class="guimenuitem">Scroll to Current
- Line</b></span> command contained in the
- <span><b class="guisubmenu">Scrolling</b></span> submenu of the <span><b class="guimenu">View</b></span> menu.

- Menu items that end with
- ellipsis (...) display dialog boxes.
- </td></tr><tr><td><tt class="keycap">C</tt></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><tt class="keycap">A</tt></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><tt class="keycap">S</tt></td><td>The standard “<span class="quote">Shift</span>” key.
- </td></tr><tr><td><tt class="keycap">C+o</tt></td><td>
- Refers to pressing and holding the <tt class="keycap">Control</tt> key, pressing and releasing <tt class="keycap">O</tt>, and finally releasing the <tt class="keycap">Control</tt> key.
- </td></tr><tr><td><tt class="keycap">C+e C+j</tt></td><td>
- Refers to holding down <tt class="keycap">Control</tt>, pressing <tt class="keycap">E</tt>, pressing <tt class="keycap">J</tt>, and releasing <tt class="keycap">Control</tt>.
- </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 <tt class="keycap">Enter</tt>. Similarly, pressing
- <tt class="keycap">Escape</tt> will usually close a dialog box.
- </td></tr><tr><td><tt class="keycap">Alt</tt>-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 <tt class="keycap">Alt</tt> 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 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 <tt class="keycap">Control</tt>-click has the same effect.
- </td></tr><tr><td>
- Middle mouse button
- </td><td>
- Used by the quick copy feature (see <a 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, <tt class="keycap">Option</tt>-click. On other platforms without a three-button mouse, <tt class="keycap">Alt</tt>-click.
