The Hammer

# Keyboard shortcuts

There's a lot of predefined default keyboard shortcuts, but there's also a lot of possible shortcuts that are not currently assigned.

Note that you can re-assign keyboard shortcuts as you want. I encourage you to look at the possibilities as maybe half of the possible keyboard shortcuts are currently assigned.

We have tried to keep a lot of shortcuts the same or similar to what you are used to in the DataFlex Studio.

You can find the currently assigned keyboard shortcuts via the menu. File -> Hammer options -> Editor Tab -> Keyboard

Here's a list of some of the more commonly used keyboard shortcuts
