2 IDLWAVE in a Nutshell
***********************
Editing IDL Programs
--------------------
<TAB> Indent the current line relative to context.
‘C-M-\’ Re-indent all lines in the current region.
‘C-M-q’ Re-indent all lines in the current routine.
‘C-u Re-indent all lines in the current statement.
<TAB>’
‘M-<RET>’ Start a continuation line, splitting the current line at
point.
‘M-;’ Start new comment at line beginning or after code, or
(un)comment highlighted region.
‘M-q’ Fill the current comment paragraph.
‘C-c ?’ Display calling sequence and keywords for the procedure or
function call at point.
‘M-?’ Load context sensitive online help for nearby routine,
keyword, etc.
‘M-<TAB>’ Complete a procedure name, function name or keyword in the
buffer.
‘C-c C-i’ Update IDLWAVE’s knowledge about functions and procedures.
‘C-c C-v’ Visit the source code of a procedure/function.
‘C-u C-c Visit the source code of a procedure/function in this
C-v’ buffer.
‘C-c C-h’ Insert a standard documentation header.
‘C-c Insert a new timestamp and history item in the
<RET>’ documentation header.
Running the IDLWAVE Shell, Debugging Programs
---------------------------------------------
‘C-c C-s’ Start IDL as a subprocess and/or switch to the shell
buffer.
<Up>, Cycle back through IDL command history.
‘M-p’
<Down>,‘M-n’Cycle forward.
‘<TAB>’ Complete a procedure name, function name or keyword in the
shell buffer.
‘C-c C-d Save and compile the source file in the current buffer.
C-c’
‘C-c C-d Compile and run the current region.
C-e’
‘C-c C-d Go to next syntax error.
C-x’
‘C-c C-d Switch to electric debug mode.
C-v’
‘C-c C-d Set a breakpoint at the nearest viable source line.
C-b’
‘C-c C-d Clear the nearest breakpoint.
C-d’
‘C-c C-d Go to the previous breakpoint.
[’
‘C-c C-d Go to the next breakpoint.
]’
‘C-c C-d Print the value of the expression near point in IDL.
C-p’
Commonly used Settings in ‘.emacs’
----------------------------------
;; Change the indentation preferences
;; Start autoloading routine info after 2 idle seconds
(setq idlwave-init-rinfo-when-idle-after 2)
;; Pad operators with spaces
(setq idlwave-do-actions t
idlwave-surround-by-blank t)
;; Syntax Highlighting
(add-hook 'idlwave-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock)
;; Automatically start the shell when needed
(setq idlwave-shell-automatic-start t)
;; Bind debugging commands with CONTROL and SHIFT modifiers
(setq idlwave-shell-debug-modifiers '(control shift))
