Engee Keyboard Shortcuts

You can use keyboard shortcuts to control windows (tools) of the Engee workspace. To open the hotkey help, use the combination Shift+?:

hotkeys main 1 en

Some Engee hotkeys may not work correctly on Linux and macOS operating systems due to the peculiarities of metacharacters, system hotkeys, or other software/hardware settings.

Basic principles

On macOS, use Command (⌘) instead of Ctrl, and Option (⌥) instead of Alt. In some cases, Ctrl can be used, please specify the desired combination in the description.
The Engee keyboard shortcuts do not conflict with browser keyboard shortcuts.

Working with Engee windows is based on the concept of universal prefixes, each of which allows you to control the appropriate action.:

G (Go) — go and make the window active;

O (Open) — open and not make the window active;

Team G (Go) not only opens the specified window, but also makes it active, which allows you to start working immediately. Team O (Open) opens a window, but does not make it active, leaving the previous window active.

C (Close) — close the active window.;

You can use the space bar to close/open the active window.
C+A (Close+All) — close all windows;
M (maximize) — maximize the active window.

An abbreviated name is assigned to each Engee window.:

Engee windows are navigated by combining universal prefixes (G, O, C, M) and abbreviated names of windows. For example, for a window File Browser :

G+F (Go Files) — go to File Browser (open the window and make it active);
O+F (Open Files) — open File Browser (open the window and do not make it active);
C+F (Close Files) — close File Browser;
M+F (Maximize Files) — maximize the window File Browser.

The key is also used to switch between windows. Tab:

In Engee there are two independent ways to select and copy text, and each has its own buffer. If selected with the keyboard → the command line buffer is used (internal Julia buffer); if selected with the mouse → the terminal buffer Engee (system) is used. Let’s look at them in more detail:

Julia’s internal buffer (highlighted in black):
- How to get there: use the keyboard to highlight (arrows, Shift+←/→, Ctrl+Shift+←/→ and so on).
- Copy/Cut: Copying is not supported, cutting via Ctrl+X.
Team Ctrl+C the command execution will abort for the internal buffer, and no copying will occur. To select with further copying, use the mouse selection (system buffer, yellow).
- Insert: Ctrl+V or Ctrl+Y.
- The buffer is not visible to the browser/The OS does not conflict with the system buffer.
System buffer (highlighted in yellow):
- How to get there: select with the mouse.
- Copy/Paste: Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V, Ctrl+Shift+C/Ctrl+Shift+V or the context menu (PCM/Copy/Insert).
- Linux primary: highlighted with the mouse → insert with the middle mouse button (or Shift+Insert).

In total, what happens when copying via Ctrl+C?

Keyboard selection → Julia’s internal buffer is used.
No mouse selection → interrupt execution, moves to the next line, the text will not be copied.
To copy, use the system buffer (mouse selection, yellow color) and the context menu. Such text ends up in the OS clipboard and can be used outside of Engee.
