Is there any Emacs key bindings for Qt Creator? Much like how Visual Studio has it. Not perfect, nor does it have to be. Actually, even Meta- (Alt-) works, doesn't conflict with keyboard shortcuts for menus (I just press Alt, release, then hit any menu shortcuts I want).
I know Matthias Ettrich said in an email (subject "[Qt-creator] Vim and emacs key bindings", Thu Oct 30 19:01:08 CET 2008) that Emacs key bindings may give RSI. However, I map the left Ctrl to Caps-Lock key. No problems with that for years. (Yes, left Ctrl at original spot will give RSI in 10 mins of use.) (Matthias: "though for me the culprit was probably rather emacs than the mouse") Matthias also mentioned that: "For coding and navigating it's fairly nicely usable without touching the mouse, with less key strokes than emacs." I don't see how that is true for text editing. Probably very true for just about everything else (compile/run, header/source view switching, etc). Unless I'm missing something, I don't find any way in Qt Creator to move my mouse cursor (in text-editing) without leaving my keyboard's "asdf;lkj" anchors. All that said, I do see how we can use Emacs outside of Qt Creator to edit source files. However, code completion wouldn't be built in. In Emacs, I lose every convenience that Qt Creator brings. I'm not asking for complex Emacs functions. Just the "move up/down/left/right". The "move by word". Page up/down. Etc. Incremental search if possible (that's my long-time life-partner, sorry), forward/reverse. Mark-set for copying text. That's about it. Oh, Ctrl+x,s. I'm willing to contribute here. How? _______________________________________________ Qt-creator mailing list [email protected] http://lists.trolltech.com/mailman/listinfo/qt-creator
