Note: all keyboard shortcuts described in the following list apply to the default MPW_like keyboard layout that comes with Eddie. The keyboard layout can be modified in the UserStartup file and the shortcuts may be different on your setup. See description of SetKey for a way of displaying all your current keyboard shortcuts.
Further note that some of the modifier keys used in the following description apply to a Windows keyboard. If you have a Mac keyboard, please do the following mental transformation:
Mac | Windows |
Cmd (Command) | Alt |
Opt (Option) | Windows (or right Control on older keyboards |
Eddie supports unlimited undo. You may undo all the changes you have made to a document since the time you opened it. This includes edits that have been done prior to the time you saved your document. After you have undone changes you may reapply them by using redo.
Alt-Z | Undo |
Alt-Win-Z arrow | Redo |
Different changes may get grouped by Eddie into a single undo record. For instance if you type some text without changing the selection location and press undo, the entire text you typed will be deleted.
In the example figure the user typed some text, then selected and cut some of it out, then undid the cut operation - the Redo is offering to perform the cut again, using Undo would delete all the typed text.
The pencil icon in the status bar indicates that the document is dirty and needs saving, after you have saved the pencil will go away. As you use Undo and Redo repeatedly, the pencil icon will go away when you reached the state of the document that matches the saved file.
