Hop Shortcuts

Most shortcuts can be found inside the application itself. In the Settings perspective there is a tab named Keyboard Shortcuts that lists global chords and where to use them.

Widget-local shortcuts (they apply to the focused field, not the whole window) are not listed there:

Shortcut Where What it does

Shortcut	Where	What it does
`CTRL-LEFT` / `CTRL-RIGHT`	Any text field. On macOS, `OPTION-LEFT` / `OPTION-RIGHT`	Move to the previous or next word. Hold Shift to extend the selection. `CMD-LEFT` / `CMD-RIGHT` on macOS still go to the start or end of the line
`CTRL-C` / `CMD-C`	Any text field	Copy the selection, or the current line when nothing is selected
`CTRL-X` / `CMD-X`	Any text field	Cut the selection, or the current line when nothing is selected. Read-only text is not cut
`CTRL-SPACE`	`TextVar` / `ComboVar` that accept variables	Insert a `${variable}`
`CTRL-SPACE`	Name fields that do not accept variables (transform/action/metadata names)	Apply a Naming Scheme of the matching type
`CTRL-SHIFT-N`	Any name field, field-name cell, table name, file/folder field, or F2 tree rename	List and apply a Naming Scheme. Replaces the current identifier (values that contain `${…}` are left unchanged)
