Set up
shortcuts for AutoScript

When you are coding scripts, AutoScript provides help by
completing the statement you are typing or displaying a list of language
elements that are appropriate to insert in the script at the cursor
location.

  1. Select Design>Options from the menu bar and click the
    AutoScript tab.

  2. Make sure all the check boxes in the first three group boxes
    are selected.

  3. Make sure the Activate Only After A Dot and Automatic Popup
    check boxes in the fourth group box are cleared, and click
    OK.

    With these settings, AutoScript provides Help wherever it has
    enough information to determine what code to insert, but it does not
    pop up automatically when you pause. By selecting the Statement
    Templates check box (not selected by default), you can use
    AutoScript to enter structures for a multiple line PowerScript
    statement.

  4. Select Tools>Keyboard Shortcuts from the menu bar.

    Expand the Edit node in the tree.

  5. Scroll down and select Activate AutoScript.

    With your cursor in the Press Keys For Shortcut box, press
    Ctrl+Space.

  6. Expand the Edit>Go To node in the Current Menu list and
    select Next Marker.

    With your cursor in the shortcut box, press Ctrl+M.

    Now whenever you want help completing code, you can press
    Ctrl+space to see a list of possible completions. If you paste a
    statement or function with comments, you can press Ctrl+M to move to
    the next comment.

  7. Click OK.
