Is there anyway to have jEdits keyboard controls behave the same way that a native Mac OS app does?
By behave I mean command+left moves the caret to the start of the line, alt+left moves to the beginning of the current word etc.
First the ALT key needs to be enabled. Do this in the startup.bsh file located in:
JEDIT_HOME/Contents/Resources/Java/startup/startup.bsh
On Mac OX this would typically be:
/Applications/jEdit.app/Contents/Resources/Java/startup/startup.bsh
The following lines should be uncommented:
Debug.ALT_KEY_PRESSED_DISABLED = false;
Debug.ALTERNATIVE_DISPATCHER = false;
You can now include the ALT key in keymappings, where
C => CMD M => ALT
Go to End of Line: C+Right Go to Start of Line: C+Left Go to Next Word: M+Right Go to Previous Word: M+Left Select Next Word: MS+Right Select Previous Word: MS+Left Select to End of Line: CS+Right Select to Start of Line: CS+Left
