This help describes some of the default keyboard shortcuts used by PN2.

The escape key can often be used to get you out of dialogs - it generally represents the pressing of the cancel button in these cases. The escape button can also be used to hide any output, find in files or find bar windows that are visible. So if you run a compile which shows you some output, and then you don't want to see the output window any more then just press escape until it goes away!

To go to the next window, you can use either Ctrl-Tab or Ctrl-F6. Depending on your options, this will either navigate through documents in Windows' own recent window order, or will use a Visual-Studio window stack system. Note that you can hold down the Shift key with either of these combinations to traverse in the opposite direction.

There are two types of output window (from 0.4 onwards). The global output window (dockable) can be toggled with F8, and individual output windows can be toggled with Shift-F8.

Select a block of text over a line and use the Tab key to indent (by either tab characters or spaces depending on your settings). Use Shift-Tab to unindent.

PN2 supports two types of bookmarking. The first of these is "simple" bookmarks. These are the type found in Visual Studio, where you can set as many bookmarks as you like, and one key jumps from one to the next: To set a simple bookmark: Ctrl-F2 To jump to the next simple bookmark: F2 PN2 also supports numbered bookmarks from 0 to 9. These are set and reached by pressing a key combination followed by the number of the bookmark: To set a numbered bookmark: Ctrl-K, x To jump to a numbered bookmark: Ctrl-Q, x where x is the number of the bookmark you wish to use. Bookmarks are shown in the margin of the text editor, the picture below shows both a simple bookmark and two numbered ones:
