Key Strokes
-Jalview recognises the following keystrokes.
-Escape - Clears the current selection region, highlighted columns and highlghted - residues
-Control 'A' - Selects all sequences in the alignment.
-Control 'C' - Copies the selected region, in Fasta format (Not applet, as no - clipboard is available)
-Control 'V' - Pastes the selected file (Can be external to Jalview) to a new - alignment window.
-Control 'X' - Cuts the selected region from the alignment window.
-Control 'Z' - Undoes the last sequence edit.
-Control 'F' - Launches the search window.
-Up Arrow - Moves selected sequence(s) up the alignment
-Down Arrow - Moves selected sequence(s) down the alignment.
++Jalview has two distinct modes of keyboard operation - in 'Normal' + mode, single keystrokes (including those shown next to menu items) + provide short cuts to common commands. In 'Cursor' mode (enabled by + F2), some of these are disabled and more complex 'Compound + Keystrokes' can be entered to perform precise navigation, selection + and editing operations. +
+Key | +Which Mode | +Action | +
Escape | +Normal | +Clears the current selection region, highlighted columns and highlghted + residues. | +
Escape | +Cursor | +As in normal mode, but also cancels any partially entered commands | +

Control 'Z' | +Both | +Undoes the last sequence edit | +
Control 'Y' | +Both | +Redo the last sequence edit undone. | +
Up Arrow | +Normal | +Moves selected sequence(s) up the alignment | +
Down Arrow | +Normal | +Moves selected sequence(s) down the alignment. | +

Right Arrow | +Normal | +Slides selected sequence(s) right. Press Alt key to slide in cursor mode | +

The compound commands available in the Cursor mode are summarised +below. Single letter commands can be prefixed by digits to specify a repetition +number, and some more complex commands take one or more numeric +parameters (prefixing the command key and separated by commas).
+Compound +Command | Mode | Action (and parameter description) |
0-9 | Cursor | Begin entering a +numeric parameter (p) or repetition number for a cursor movement or edit +command. |
, | Cursor | Separates one or +more numeric parameters (e.g. p1,p2) for a command. |
p1,p2 Return | Cursor | Move cursor to a particular column (p1) and row (p2) in the alignment. e.g. '5,6<Return>' moves the cursor to the 5th column in the 6th sequence. |
pS | Cursor | Jump to the p'th sequence in the alignment. |
pP | Cursor | Jump to p'th amino acid in current sequence. |
pC | Cursor | Jump to p'th column in the alignment. |
Q | Cursor | Marks the top left corner of the selection area |
M | Cursor | Marks the bottom right corner of the selection area |
[p] Space | Cursor | Inserts
+one (or optionally p) gaps at the current position. Hold down Control or Shift to insert gaps over a sequence group |
[p] Delete | Cursor | Removes
+one (or optionally p) gaps at the cursor position. Hold down Control or Shift to insert gaps over a sequence group |
[p] Backspace | Cursor | Removes
+one (or optionally p) gaps at the cursor position. Hold down Control or Shift to insert gaps over a sequence group |
