The following table lists the JADE default shortcut key bindings, with all current key bindings that can apply to editor source windows.
Default key bindings are indicated by the Window background color, which defaults to white. User‑created key bindings are indicated by the versioned background color, which defaults to light green. Editor pane accelerator key bindings and standard Windows edit functionality shortcuts (for example, for copy, paste, and undo actions) are disabled for the standard Windows edit actions.
