# Keyboard Shortcuts

In jEdit, most operations can be performed from the keyboard. Because there is such a large number of commands, it would be very difficult to make them all accessible with one keystroke. So jEdit supports multiple keystroke bindings. To invoke a command with a multiple keystroke binding, all keystrokes must be pressed, in order, with nothing in between.

In this manual, key bindings are written in the form Modifier-Key, where Modifier is the modifier key that must be pressed in addition to Key to invoke that command. When multiple keystrokes are present in a binding, they will be listed in order, for example the shortcut for Scroll to Current Line is Control-E Control-J.
