Oxygen quick reference
This topic gives examples of some of the short cuts and menu options in Oxygen XML Editor that can improve your productivity.
Quick element insert
While in Author mode, you can quickly insert elements by pressing Enter. When you press Enter, a menu appears, which you can use to search for and insert elements. You are only allowed to insert elements that are valid for the location you have selected.
Hot keys
The following table shows the default key mappings for some commonly used shortcuts in Oxygen XML Editor.
Your system may be set up differently than the defaults. If you have mapped any Windows CTRL+ALT shortcuts, the Windows shortcuts take precedence over the key sequences shown here. Some shortcuts may conflict with other Eclipse plugins.
You can change any key mappings through the Keys pane of the Preferences dialog.
