emacs base profile

The emacs base profile has default key assignments that should be familiar to emacs users.

Not all key and mouse-event settings listed below may be available in the environment (workstation configuration, operating system, Java support, enclosing editor application, etc.) in which the editor is running.  The set of key and mouse settings in the current editor view may also be extended and modified by the editor application, active document parser, and editor extensions in effect.

 

Key Settings

The key settings listed below show the key definition (for example, "a-0") and the editor action (for example, "appendToActionArgument").  For a complete reference of how a key is defined see the keyAction parameter.
