Editor Shortcuts

Keyboard shortcuts are an efficient way to speed up your workflow and increase productivity. Instead of using your mouse to navigate through menus and click on options, you can simply press a few keys to perform the same actions. As a developer, using keyboard shortcuts can save you a lot of time and make your work more efficient.

To use a keyboard shortcut, simply hold down the “Ctrl” key (on Windows) or the “Command” key (on Mac) and press the corresponding letter key. For example, to save your code in TradeServer Cloud, you can press “Ctrl + S” on Windows or “Command + S” on Mac.

The specific shortcuts included in your list are:

  • Ctrl + S = Save
  • Ctrl + Q = New
  • Ctrl + B = Backtest
  • Ctrl + R = Quicktest
  • Ctrl + D = Debug

By using these shortcuts, you can quickly perform common tasks without having to navigate through menus or click on options. This can save you a lot of time in the long run and make you a more efficient developer. In addition, since the editor in TradeServer Cloud is based on Visual Studio Code, many popular shortcuts from Visual Studio Code will also work in TradeServer Cloud.
