Common Keyboard Shortcuts/en

General Editing

• CTRL-C - "copy".
  Copies the selection into the clipboard. The object to be copied depends on the context and selection:
  - in a text editor, the text-selection is copied.
  - in the diagram editor, the selected element(s) are copied
  - in the navigation tree, the selected tree items are copied.

 

• CTRL-V - "paste"
  Pastes the clipboard object. This is not always possible, and sometimes simply ignored (for example, if a tree-item is copied and tried to be pasted into a text editor).

 

• CTRL-X - "cut"
  Deletes the selection and puts it into the clipboard (for later pasting)

 

• DELETE - "delete"
  Deletes but does NOT put the deleted object into the clipboard

 

• CTRL-Z - "undo"
  Undoes the last operation. This is a multi-undo. This is the same function as performed by the undo toolbar menu button. This button shows a tooltip, which describes what would be undone if pressed. If you are uncertain, what would be undone, place the mouse over this toolbar button (without pressing) and read the tooltip.

• CTRL-Cursor-DOWN - "move down"
  This moves the selected item down in the navigation tree or a testplan's list of test cases. If a step's pin is selected in the diagram editor, this is moved towards the top.

 

• CTRL-Cursor-UP - "move up"
  This moves the selected item up in the navigation tree or a testplan's list of test cases. If a step's pin is selected in the diagram editor, this is moved towards the bottom.

 

• CTRL-Cursor-LEFT - "move out"
  In the navigation tree, this moves the selected item ot of its containing (parent) item and places it below the parent in the list.

 

• CTRL-Cursor-RIGHT - "move in"
  In the navigation tree, this moves the selected item into the tree item right above it. I.e. it makes it a child element of the other item.

 

Element Creation
