Many of the keyboard shortcuts you can use in Rational Requirements Composer are the same as those used in the Eclipse client. For example, you can display the properties of a selected object in both clients by selecting an object and pressing Alt+Enter. You can display a pop-up list of these key assignments in Rational Requirements Composer by pressing Ctrl+Shift+L or by clicking
In some instances, if you place
the mouse pointer over a toolbar drop-down arrow () or over a toolbar icon, the shortcut
keyboard is identified in a hover help. For example, in the document
editor, if you place the mouse cursor over the Bullets icon, you see
in the hover help that the keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+Shift_B:
Keyboard Shortcut | Description |
---|---|
Ctrl+Mouse Drag | If you drag an artifact from the Project Explorer and drop it into certain editors, (such as the Use Case editor or the Requirements editor), a link to the artifact is created; however, if you hold down the Ctrl key and drag an artifact into an editor, the artifact is embedded. |
The period key (.) | In the sketching editor, if you select an object and then press the keyboard period key (.), you can then move the object using the keyboard arrow keys. After you move an object, press Enter to finalize the movement. |
Tab key. | The Tab key functionality changes based on the context or editor in which you are using it. For example, in a text editor, if you are creating a bulleted list, Tab will create a sub-bullet, while pressing Shift+Tab will revert back to regular bullets. Similarly, when editing regular text, Tab will indent text, while pressing Shift+Tab will undo the indentation. |
