VKRC Basic functionalities
By clicking the right mouse button on the opened VKRC program the user gets fast access to many useful options and shortcuts.
Below we describe some of the most helpful shortcuts.



» Via the motion point's context menu the user can access some useful point actions.

  • Cut - currently selected text (simple text, points, comments, subfolds). The key shortcut is Ctrl + X.
  • Copy - currently selected text. The key shortcut is Ctrl + C.
  • Paste - paste the text from the clipboard. You can copy and paste the text between two files in one session and from one opened DReS instance to another one. The key shortcut is Ctrl + V.

  • Select all - select the entire text in the editor.

  • Remove viewer - remove the VKRC viewer for the current file and display the source text for the src file.

  • Check full syntax - check if the current program syntax is correct, e.g.: if the variable name and range do not exceed the allowed range, command's order, jumps and labels etc...
  • Paste VW doc text - paste the text that was copied from VW Standard Documentation. All line numbers from the text in the clipboard in the format 1: at the beginning of each text line and all comments, e.g.: ~ Schutzgitter gesperrt at the end of the text line will be removed automatically.

  • Edit point - open the point editor widget for the text line under the mouse cursor. Go to reference documentation for more details.
  • Copy point coordiantes - copy point's coordinates to the clipboard. You can copy and assign point's coordinates between different files and DReS instances.
  • Assign coordiantes to point - assign point's coordinates to the point under the mouse cursor.


» If you pop up the context menu for a variable you will have access to the following options.

  • Change variable - automatically changes the variable name in all opened files.
    The user can change a single variable name or even a called makro name.


  • » If you press the Ctrl button and move the mouse cursor over merker you can go to the place where this variable is defined.
    Just press the left mouse button now. If you do the same for the makro call you can jump into that makro.

    If you pop up the context menu for an item in a file tree you can close the file or close everything, except for the one that you want to leave open.
    You can also open the system file explorer with the location where this file exists.



    If you double click the file item on the file tree you can change a file comment.
    This change will take effect if you save the file.



    If you press the line number on the left margin you can easily select the whole text line.




    By clicking on the black or white triangle you can open or close the chosen fold.
    If you do the same with pressed Ctrl button you will open or close all folds in the current program.
    We also defined a shortcut to fire this action - Ctrl + Q.




    For the selected point in the point tree table you can easily copy and assign the point's coordinates.
