ABAP Shortcuts

Use of Ctrl + Shift + V (Extended Paste): In new abap editor, many times you come up a
scenario to copy paste some line of codes from another program. You have to copy a line from
Program2 first, then paste into Program1. For second code, again you have to copy and then
paste. You can use the Ctrl + Shift + V functionality to paste the recently copied lines. So, no
need to switch windows unnecessarily. It's really a time saving stuff.
Use of Ctrl + Alt + Num+ ( plus sign in Num keys) : to increase(zoom-in) the text size.
Use of Ctrl + Alt + Num- ( minus sign in Num keys) : to decrease(zoom-out) the text size.
Use of Ctrl + Alt + / : to restore text size to normal.
Use of Ctrl + U : The selected text converted into uppercase.
Use of Ctrl + L : The selected text converted into lowercase.
Use of Ctrl + J : The selected text will become capitalize.
Use of Ctrl + K : The case of selected text will be swapped.
Use of Ctrl + D : Duplicate any line.
Use of Ctrl + / : Jump to the "command field" where we enter t-codes. This comes really handy
and saves a jump from keyboard to mouse and back to keyboard just to click on the box.
Use of Ctrl + I: &
Use of Ctrl + Shift + I: Incremental search. This is a little improved 'Find' (Ctrl + F) function
which searches as soon as you type. Useful for impatient people. Add shift to search
backwards.

of a particular table.
Use of Tab & Shift tab: Increase and Decrease Intend
Use of Ctrl + O : Goto a particular line in the program
Use of Ctrl + Shift + S: Save your program in Desktop in .abap format. I came know about
.abap only after learning this short cut.

word in that direction.
