Keyboard Shortcuts

C# REPL aims for an editing experience similar to Visual Studio. Several key bindings can be customized; see Configuring CSharpRepl.

Basic usage

• Enter: run the current line if it is a complete statement, otherwise add a newline
• Ctrl+Enter or Ctrl+Alt+Enter: run and show a detailed representation of the result
• Shift+Enter or Alt+Enter: insert a newline without running
• Ctrl+C: cancel the current line (or copy when text is selected)
• Ctrl+L or clear: clear the screen
• Ctrl+D or exit: exit the REPL
• Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Y: undo / redo
• Ctrl+Alt+Space: request an AI completion at the caret; the result streams directly into the prompt (needs an AI provider API key; see AI Completions)

Editing and clipboard

• Ctrl+Shift+C: copy the entire current input
• Ctrl+X: cut the selection, or the current line if nothing is selected
• Shift+Delete: cut the current line
• Ctrl+V, Shift+Insert, Ctrl+Shift+V: paste (leading indentation is trimmed)
• Ctrl+A: select all
• Ctrl+Backspace / Ctrl+Delete: delete the word to the left / right
• Ctrl+K / Ctrl+U: delete to the end / start of the line
• Ctrl+Left / Ctrl+Right: move one word left / right
• Tab / Shift+Tab: indent / unindent the selected lines (when nothing is selected, Tab inserts indentation)
