Keyboard Shortcuts

UltraEdit for Linux includes several different key mapping modes, including Gnome, KDE, or Windows defaults, as well as limited Emacs key mapping support. (Please note that for each mode, that mode’s key mappings are respected when possible. The entire key mapping set (for instance, for Emacs) may not be completely available within the scope of UltraEdit for Linux.)

Beyond this, you can even customize these key mapping modes to suit your preferences and needs and maximize your efficiency and speed of navigation in UltraEdit. You can acess key mapping configuration in Edit -> Preferences -> Key Mapping. Here you are provided a drop down list for several different key mapping modes, and you can also set your own custom key mappings here as well.
