    Hi Lakki

    You can get a list of current bindkeys as follow:

    a. In ciw (this is the first window that appears when Virtuoso starts up), go to "Options->Bindkey"
    b. In the form that appears, select a category (e.g. Layout) and press "Show Bind Keys" button

    Best regards
    Quek

     Hi Lakki,

    In addition to what Quek said, you can also get a list of bindkeys using SKILL, for example:


    hiGetBindKeys("Schematics")
    => (("Shift<Key>x" "schHiCheckAndSave()")
    ("<Key>i" "schHiCreateInst()")
    ("Shift
    <Key>s" "_schHiSave()")
    ("Shift
    <Key>m" "schHiMove()")
    ...
    hiGetBindKeys("Layout")
    => (("Shift
    <Key>x" "leHiDescend()")
    ("
    <Key>i" "leHiCreateInst()")
    ("Shift
    <Key>s" "leHiSearch()")
    ("Shift
    <Key>m" "leHiMerge()")
    ...

    You can also set one or more bindkeys using the hiSetBindKey() and hiSetBindKeys() SKILL functions respectively. I hope that this is helpful.

    Best regards,

    Lawrence.

     Please excuse the formatting of the last post, the HTML editor lost the <Key> sequences from the bindkey definitions.  The web version should look correct now, though the email sent out is also missing "<Key>" from the definitions.
