Built-in SciTE Keyboard Shortcuts & Hotkeys
SciTE is a wonderful & powerful editor! I love using it for AutoHotKey, Python, HTML, SPSS, SQL, XML, and more! Below are SciTE Keyboard Shortcuts & Hotkeys to use with SciTE . I’ve bolded a few of the ones that I use very frequently. You also may like to check out the documentation. I have custom SciTE Hotkeys that I’ve added however they require updating files like the user.properties file which review in a this post.
You can download a printable version here. In the zip file you’ll find an Excel file which you can easily manipulate to your liking or just use the PDF versions.
