I've set emacs mode, but would like to bind command-A to "select all". What is the name of the appropriate Editor Action?
Main Menu > Edit > Find > Select All
The default binding is CTRL+X, H.
There is also a search field at the top of the window to help track down bindings (no snark intended, mentioned just in case you might not have seen it).

Automation Anywhere. How do I pick a value from dropdown. I tried 'set text' from a copied variable. Its very slow, and also doesnt seem to be the right away. I would want to pick a value from the dropdown. Any idea how this can be done ? Thank you
You can use Object Cloning for this.
The process will be like:
Select object cloning and select the window you want to clone.
Capture the object to which you want to select from the drop-down.
Object cloning intelligence will automatically treat this as Drop down, and an extra option like "select Item by text" will appear in the action list. Select that option.
It will only suggest the all the drop down options. Select the required option you want.
Press Save.
That's it.
Thanks
You can do it using 'Manage Windows Controls' AA Command ( in this command make sure you check available checkbox for Capture a control of specific type [select - Drop Down] in next text box) and capture the value from pick list.
When I'm coding in VB.Net in VS2015 I would like to use CTRL+SPACE to select Intellisense proposal when coding. Currently I have to use SHIFT+SPACE and I see no way to change it.
In the preceeding example screenshot it is visible that I have 3 potential options to autocomplete. I can select any of them with key up/down but in order to select the proposal I have following options:
Press 'SHIFT+SPACE' - this will accept the proposal and position the
carret right after the word enabling me to press '(' or whatever else
I want
Press 'SPACE' - this will accept the proposal but it will also
add a white space at the end which is ok for properties/fields but
not good for methods
Press '(' - this will accept the proposal but it
will also add a '(' character at thend which is ok for functions/sub
but not good for properies/fields
Press 'CTRL+SPACE' - this actually does not do anything :(, CTRL on its own makes the Intellisense menu gray-out
In the key configuration window I found the Edit.CompleteWord command:
However this command already has CTRL+SPACE assigned it but it simply does not work. In addition SHIFT+SPACE is not mentioned as one of the keybindings.
Note:
VS2015 does have a flag 'Toggle Completion Mode' but I actually see no difference if this option is checked or not.
you can Use Tab and this will accept the proposal and position the current right after Tab Use space it well show You next Complete Word .
I've been looking for this problem, but cannot find a solution that works for me.
I've made option buttons through the UI of word 2013 , and gave them a specified name in their properties ( "knop11" )
ThisDocument.Shapes("knop11").Visible = False
The above line is what I try to use to hide my option button when pressing a command button.
After making a new option button ( with default name "OptionButton1 ) it still doesn't work if I apply it to that button.
It depends on the type of control you are inserting, if you are using a ActiveX option button, it is not included within the shapes, but it will be created as an independent object. In such case you just have to use its functions directly.
However there is no 'visibility' property within option buttons, you might use a harsh work around like changing the buttons size or its forecolor. Something like:
If knop11.Height > 1 Then
knop11.Height = 1
Else
knop11.Height = 20
End If
Just as a quick tip, when you make the UI, the controls that are included within the shapes of the document are the ContentControls, and normally you fill the TAG property to look for them later. You might as well use the check box content control, and programming the option behaviour within your macros.
Suppose I type a Java method call with an argument that I intend to make into a field:
knownObject.knownMethod(newField);
At this point, newField is highlighted as compilation error. I can press Alt+Enter and select "Create Filed 'newField'" from the menu.
That brings me up to the beginning of the class file where other fields are defined.
I can press Enter to confirm the new field's type.
Now I'd like to go back to my knownMethod() call and continue coding. How do I do that?
Bonus question: in the above situation, Ctrl+Shift+Backspace may help because I just edited the the knownMethod() call. What if I decide to first type in multiple arguments to the method? How do I get back to the argument I've just created a field for in that case?
For getting back to a previous caret location the Navigate > Back menu item usually works (CtrlAltLeft Arrow on Windows). Another option may be to use Edit > Find > Find Usages on the field (enable the Skip results tab with one usage checkbox setting)
I always run into this situation: cursor is on line 5 and I want to select everything down to line 16. I have to resort to shift-arrow, arrow, arrow, or use the mouse.
NetBeans has "go to line" (Control-G) but you can't hold down shift while doing that, so no good for selecting. There's also "bookmarks," but same problem.
Anyone know of a cool trick that solves this problem?
I'm open to alternate tool suggestions for OS X.
You can use Shift-PgDn or Shift-PgUp to select the next "page" of information.
The only thing that comes to mind is to create an editor macro.
Eg:
Tools > Options > Editor > Macros
Click "New" Enter a name:
Enter a name for the macro: select-5-down
For the macro code enter:
selection-down
selection-down
selection-down
selection-down
selection-down
Click "Set Shortcut" and assign a key binding. I used Alt-M.
Now each click of Alt-M extends the selection by 5 more lines.
