Keyboard Operations in the FBD/LD Editor

The following table shows the defined shortcuts and the resulting cursor operations:

Key combination

Operation

only <cursor key>

The adjacent object in the respective direction is marked. By pressing only the cursor keys, all objects types are considered, i.e., lines, variables, formal parameters and function/FB symbols.

<cursor key> + <Ctrl>

The adjacent function/FB symbol is marked. Lines, variables and formal parameters are ignored.

<cursor key> + <Shift>

and

<cursor key> + <Shift> + <Ctrl>

The mouse pointer moves to the desired direction without marking an object.

Pressing <Ctrl> accelerates the movement of the pointer.

<SPACE> sets the cursor at the current position. If an object is under the mouse pointer, the object is marked.

NOTE:

Using keyboard shortcuts, it is not possible to mark several objects. Use the mouse for this purpose.
