Using shortcut keys
Many visual programming operations in IBM® SPSS® Modeler have shortcut keys associated with them. For example, you can delete a node by clicking the node and pressing the Delete key on your keyboard. Likewise, you can quickly save a stream by pressing the S key while holding down the Ctrl key. Control commands like this one are indicated by a combination of Ctrl and another key--for example, Ctrl+S.
There are a number of shortcut keys used in standard Windows operations, such as Ctrl+X to cut. These shortcuts are supported in IBM SPSS Modeler along with the following application-specific shortcuts.
Note: In some cases, old shortcut keys used in IBM SPSS Modeler conflict with standard Windows
shortcut keys. These old shortcuts are supported with the addition of the Alt key. For example,
Ctrl+Alt+C can be used to toggle the cache on and off.
