Keyboard Shortcut List

RSyntaxTextArea is pretty mature so its set of keyboard shortcuts don't change that much, but for the most up-to-date list, check out the following places in the code:

• RTADefaultInputMap - Keyboard shortcuts for the base RTextArea class. Most common functionality not specific to code editors
• RSyntaxTextAreaDefaultInputMap - An extension of the RTextArea-specific input map above. Extends and adds behavior specific to editing source code

Actions that are unique and worth calling out are in bold.
