Starting out: shortcuts and key-bindings

[moda...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I've recently started using LightTable and I'd like to learn about the readily available shortcut keys and key-bindings. Is there a wiki or documentation that covers this material?

Also, I'd like to learn if there's a way to use the keyboard for all activities. For example, currently to open a workspace, I use "ctrl+space" to open the command pane, then the arrow keys to select "open recent workspace", and lastly the mouse to select a workspace. Can this be done only from the keyboard, i.e. without a mouse?

Thanks.

-Mo

hi Mo, I don't know about docs but if you C-Space "keymap" you should see the Default Keymap as a selection. Similarly if you C-Space "behavior" you should see Default Behaviors -- using the keymap as a guide you can create your own shortcuts. 

There are also Emacs/Vim default bindings for additional examples.

Thanks, very helpful to know. I wonder why this is so well concealed in the documentation, rather than being part of the getting started materials.

Sorry to hear this was a pain to find out!

I do agree it is buried within the existing documentation... if you don't know what to look for then it is not clear. We are in the process of overhauling existing documentation and you can expect to find this information easier in the forthcoming version.

Awesome. I think viewing documentation, jumping to definition, evaluation (and then watch) should probably be mentioned together as they are a part of what makes light table the best, or the only sane, clojure development environment.
