I would prefer to have Emacs keybindings in MSVS. In MSVS 2008, this was natively supported, and in MSVS2010 there was an extension to achieve this

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudio/archive/2010/09/01/emacs-emulation-extension-now-available.aspx

Can i install this extension in MSVS 2012? (I have thus far been unsuccessful...) Is there another way to achieve Emacs keybindings?


Emacs Keybindings in Visual Studio 2012 or 2013

In Xcode 4, I have been sucessfully able to add new custom keyboard shortcuts to move lines around or to duplicate a line:

**/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Frameworks/IDEKit.framework/Resources/IDETextKeyBindingSet.plist**

    &lt;key&gt;My Custom Keys&lt;/key&gt;
    &lt;dict&gt;
        &lt;key&gt;Move Line Up&lt;/key&gt;
        &lt;string&gt;selectLine:, cut:, moveUp:, moveToBeginningOfLine:, paste:, moveUp:&lt;/string&gt;
        &lt;key&gt;Move Line Down&lt;/key&gt;
        &lt;string&gt;selectLine:, cut:, moveDown:, moveToBeginningOfLine:, paste:, moveUp:&lt;/string&gt;
        &lt;key&gt;Duplicate Line&lt;/key&gt;
        &lt;string&gt;moveToBeginningOfLine:, deleteToEndOfLine:, yank:, insertNewline:, moveToBeginningOfLine:, yank:&lt;/string&gt;
        &lt;key&gt;Delete Line&lt;/key&gt;
        &lt;string&gt;selectLine:, delete:&lt;/string&gt;
    &lt;/dict&gt;

But the **Move Line Up/Down** uses copy/paste, which I would like to avoid. Anyone knows how to move lines with *yank*, just like the **Duplicate Line** I found there: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10266170/xcode-4-duplicate-line/13369654#13369654



Xcode &quot;move line&quot; keyboard shortcut

I am a Python beginning self-learner, running on MacOS.

I&#39;m making a program with a text parser GUI in tkinter, where you type a command in a `Entry` widget, and hit a `Button` widget, which triggers my `parse()` funct, ect, printing the results to a `Text` widget, text-adventure style.

&gt; \&gt; Circumvent the button
&gt;
&gt; I can&#39;t let you do that, Dave.

I&#39;m trying to find a way to get rid of the need to haul the mouse over to the `Button` every time the user issues a command, but this turned out harder than I thought.

I&#39;m guessing the correct code looks like `self.bind(&#39;&lt;Return&gt;&#39;, self.parse())`? But I don&#39;t even know where to put it. `root`, `__init__`, `parse()`, and `create_widgets()` don&#39;t want it.

To be clear, the only reason anyone should hit enter in the prog is to trigger `parse()`, so it doesn&#39;t need to be espoused to the `Entry` widget specifically. Anywhere it works is fine.

In response to 7stud, the basic format:

    from tkinter import *
    import tkinter.font, random, re
    
    class Application(Frame):
        
        def __init__(self, master):
            Frame.__init__(self, master, ...)
            self.grid()
            self.create_widgets()
            self.start()
    
            
        def parse(self):
            ...
    
    
        def create_widgets(self):
            
            ...
    
            self.submit = Button(self, text= &quot;Submit Command.&quot;, command= self.parse, ...)
            self.submit.grid(...)
    
            
    root = Tk()
    root.bind(&#39;&lt;Return&gt;&#39;, self.parse)
    
    app = Application(root)
    
    root.mainloop()



How do I bind the enter key to a function in tkinter?

I understand that Mac has some Emacs keybindings enabled by default (e.g. &lt;kbd&gt;Ctrl&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;A&lt;/kbd&gt; move to beginning of line etc.). If I open TextEdit for example I can navigate like in Emacs.

But when I try &lt;kbd&gt;Alt&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;F&lt;/kbd&gt; or &lt;kbd&gt;Alt&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;b&lt;/kbd&gt; for move to next word or last word it does not work. It prints out `ƒ` and `∫` instead.

Is there a way to jump words instead?

I think that I did not tinker with the keybindings and I use the US layout on a german keyboard.

Is there a way to make alt-f and alt-b jump word forward and backward instead of printing ƒ and ∫ on Mac?

I want to make a new key binding to change syntax to, let&#39;s say, HTML or CSS. I searched the official and unofficial documentation to see if there are any answers to my problem.

Sublime Text 2 - key binding to change syntax

The documentation isn&#39;t especially clear&amp;mdash;&lt;kbd&gt;CTRL&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;T&lt;/kbd&gt; is to jump back in the tag stack, whereas &lt;kbd&gt;CTRL&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;O&lt;/kbd&gt; is to jump back to the previous cursor position. What&#39;s the difference between &lt;kbd&gt;CTRL&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;T&lt;/kbd&gt; and &lt;kbd&gt;CTRL&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;O&lt;/kbd&gt;? They both appear to exhibit the same behavior.

What is the difference between CTRL-T and CTRL-O in Vim?

I&#39;ve been using VSCode a lot lately and have gotten used to the keys-shortcuts/key-bindings (Ctrl+D, Ctrl+P, Alt+leftArrow, etc). However I&#39;ve recently had some work where I needed to use regular Visual Studio (Microsoft Visual Studio Enterprise 2019) and it&#39;s painful remembering two different shortcut keys.

Is there a way to import VSCode key-shortcuts to into regular Visual Studio?

I&#39;ve looked at [this question][1] and there wasn&#39;t much help besides manually changing them one at a time.


UPDATE: now the above post answers the question now that I posed Francois du Plessis&#39;s answer there.

Make Visual Studio use VS code shortcut keys / key bindings

There _is_ a `Duplicate` command in the Edit Menu (with a default shortcut of &lt;kbd&gt;⌘&lt;/kbd&gt;&lt;kbd&gt;D&lt;/kbd&gt;), but it is (as [Halley][1] pointed out) meant for duplication in the Interface Builder part of Xcode.

**So, how do you (*easily*) duplicate a line in Xcode 4?**

----------
[Related question][2] (with a working answer) for Xcode 3 ... and which does not work for Xcode 4.

----------
Why not just copy &amp; paste?
-
Because it is tedious and entails too much hand-acrobatics:

either **(1)**: moving to line beginning and then pressing &lt;kbd&gt;⇧^E&lt;/kbd&gt;, then copying with &lt;kbd&gt;⌘C&lt;/kbd&gt;, moving to new line, alligning cursor, and **finally** pasting with &lt;kbd&gt;⌘V&lt;/kbd&gt;;

or **(2)**: &lt;kbd&gt;^A&lt;/kbd&gt; (set cursor to line begining), &lt;kbd&gt;^SPACE&lt;/kbd&gt; (set mark), &lt;kbd&gt;^E&lt;/kbd&gt; (set cursor to line ending), &lt;kbd&gt;⇧^W&lt;/kbd&gt; (`Select to Mark`; customized), copy, new line, etc.

As Frank Schr&#246;der (in the [related question][3]) put it: 
&gt; The whole point is NOT to use the Cmd-C/Cmd-V shortcuts.

Xcode duplicate line

I&#39;m looking for a way to bind a function to my whole page (when a user presses a key, I want it to trigger a function in my component.ts)

It was easy in AngularJS with a `ng-keypress` but it does not work with `(keypress)=&quot;handleInput($event)&quot;`. 

I tried it with a div wrapper on the whole page but it doesn&#39;t seem to work.
it only works when the focus is on it.

&lt;!-- language: lang-xml --&gt;

    &lt;div (keypress)=&quot;handleInput($event)&quot; tabindex=&quot;1&quot;&gt;


How can I listen for keypress event on the whole page?

I&#39;m a Mac user and I&#39;ve decided to learn Emacs. I&#39;ve [read][1] that to reduce hand strain and improve accuracy the &lt;kbd&gt;CTRL&lt;/kbd&gt; and &lt;kbd&gt;CAPS LOCK&lt;/kbd&gt; keys should be swapped. How do I do this in Leopard?

Also, in Terminal I have to use the &lt;kbd&gt;ESC&lt;/kbd&gt; key to invoke meta. Is there any way to get the alt/option key to invoke meta instead?

**update:** While the control key is much easier to hit now, the meta key is also used often enough that its position on my MacBook and Apple Keyboard also deserves attention. In fact, I find that the control key is actually easier to hit, so I&#39;ve remapped my control key to act as a meta key. Does anyone have a better/more standard solution?

Emacs on Mac OS X Leopard key bindings

In Emacs (GNU 23.2, *nix), how can I:  

 1. list the key sequences bound to a particular command? For example, how can we list all the key sequences that execute `save-buffers-kill-emacs`, with the output of key sequences bound to it? Assuming we can do this, listing the key sequences bound to `goto-line` should print the output: `M-g g` on a default install.
 2. list all key-bindings? Does `C-h b` do this? Would it print my own bindings?

I am aware that executing the command directly can print a key sequence it can be activated with, but it doesn&#39;t always do so, and a few things happen, including:  
(1) the output doesn&#39;t remain for long, (2) the command is executed.

I want a _command_ that lists for me (preferably all) the bindings attached to a given command, without executing the command, or something like that.

I&#39;d like to know if there is a way to figure out if a key does something in vim. I know that I can use `:map` to see user-defined mappings, but is there something for the built-in stuff?

For example, I always had &lt;kbd&gt;CTRL&lt;/kbd&gt;-&lt;kbd&gt;W&lt;/kbd&gt; bound to close tab, because I thought that it was unused. After half a year, I found out that there are some sequences that use it, like &lt;kbd&gt;CTRL&lt;/kbd&gt;-&lt;kbd&gt;W&lt;/kbd&gt; &lt;kbd&gt;CTRL&lt;/kbd&gt;-&lt;kbd&gt;S&lt;/kbd&gt; to split the window, and it was a nightmare to retrain myself.

Detect if a key is bound to something in vim

In a terminal, one cannot distinguish &lt;kbd&gt;Ctrl&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;A&lt;/kbd&gt; and &lt;kbd&gt;Ctrl&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;Shift&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;A&lt;/kbd&gt; as they both emit the same key code, so I can see why Vim can&#39;t do it. But gVim, being an X application, can differentiate &lt;kbd&gt;Ctrl&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;A&lt;/kbd&gt; and &lt;kbd&gt;Ctrl&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;Shift&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;A&lt;/kbd&gt;. Is there any way to map those two things differently?

For starters, I&#39;d like to do something like the following: Make &quot;paste from clipboard&quot; work like Gnome terminal, while keeping &lt;kbd&gt;Ctrl&lt;/kbd&gt;+&lt;kbd&gt;V&lt;/kbd&gt; to the visual mode.

    :nmap &lt;C-S-V&gt; &quot;+gP

If I select a *variable* (not just any string) in my code, all other instances of that variable get a stroke (white outline) around them:

![enter image description here][1]

Is there a keyboard shortcut that will let me **select all of those instances of the variable and edit them all at once?**

----------

Things I&#39;ve Tried:
------------------

&lt;kbd&gt;⌘&lt;/kbd&gt;&lt;kbd&gt;D&lt;/kbd&gt;, &lt;kbd&gt;⌘&lt;/kbd&gt;&lt;kbd&gt;K&lt;/kbd&gt;, and &lt;kbd&gt;⌘&lt;/kbd&gt;&lt;kbd&gt;U&lt;/kbd&gt; lets me select them one-by-one, but I have to manually exclude the non-variable string matches:

![enter image description here][2]

And using &lt;kbd&gt;Ctrl&lt;/kbd&gt;&lt;kbd&gt;⌘&lt;/kbd&gt;&lt;kbd&gt;G&lt;/kbd&gt; simply selects *all* the string matches:

![enter image description here][3]

Clearly, Sublime is able to differentiate between variable and string matches. Is there no way to select just the variable matches?

I&#39;ve been using Vim for many years and have never really thought about it. A friend of mine asked why that is, noting that in our culture, left would usually map to up while right would map to down, making the Vim keys backwards.

I understand that they are on the home row, meaning that you do not have to move your fingers anywhere to hit them, but that&#39;s a different point altogether.

Why were these keys given their present purposes? Is there some documentation on the decision as well?






In Vim , why is &#39;j&#39; used for down and &#39;k&#39; for up?

Suppose that

    (gdb) print *this

resulted in 20 lines of output. Yes, there would be `Type &lt;return&gt; to continue, or q &lt;return&gt; to quit`, but I&#39;d like to scroll back to the top after I got to the bottom of the output.

I don&#39;t think http://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/TUI-Keys.html answers my question. It states

&gt; &amp;lt;PgUp&amp;gt; &lt;br&gt;
&gt; Scroll the active window one page up.

but when the focus is on the command window, &lt;kbd&gt;PgUp&lt;/kbd&gt; rewinds the command history, instead of scrolling back in the command window. Is it only me who suffers from this behavior?

We have created `KeyDown` events and also tried adding command bindings with input gestures, but we were never able to trap these two shortcuts.

Though I know how to set a global key-binding in Emacs, I find it hard to even Google out the code for a local (minor-mode specific) key-binding. For instance, I have this code in my `.emacs`:

    ;; PDFLaTeX from AucTeX
    (global-set-key (kbd &quot;C-c M-p&quot;)
    		(lambda ()
    		  (interactive)
    		  (shell-command (concat &quot;pdflatex &quot; buffer-file-name))))

I don&#39;t want to set it globally. Is there a function like `local-set-key`?
