Hotkeys

Hotkeys in LogWizard

At this time, the Hotkeys can not be changed. They are as follows:

Navigating witin the current pane

• Ctrl-[right-arrow], Ctrl-[left-arrow] - Move between views (tabs)
• Home, End, PgUp, PgDown, Up-arrow, Down-arrow - Move within the current view (tab). These work no matter what control has focus.
• Ctrl-[up-arrow], Ctrl-[down-arrow] - scroll up/down
• Shift-[up-arrow], Shift-[down-arrow] - multi select lines

Navigating within panes

• Tab/Shift-Tab - navigates within the important panes. There are 3 important panes, not all of them may be visible at a given time:
  • The Filter Pane (left-most pane) - you can toggle it on/off
  • The Views Pane - this shows all the views for the current log file
  • The Full Log Pane (right-most pane) - From the latter two, at least one needs to be shown

Searching

• Ctrl-F - Start searching for a text within the current view (tab). Note: once you search for a text, by default, we mark all the lines that contain that text
• Escape - Ends the search. All lines that were marked as "containing text", are now unmarked.

Searching Next/Previous

• F3, Shift-F3 - These are context dependent: If there is a Search running (you end a search by pressing Escape), it will continue to search for that text within the current view (tab), by going Next/Prev. If there is no Search running, they will navigate through the selected Filter (in the filter pane), showing exactly the lines that match that specific filter.

Go to Line/Time

• Ctrl-G - Allows going to a the closest line or time. Allows for offsets (+/-) to make the distance relative to your selected line, such as +10 (add ten lines), -1:10:05 (before 1h 10mins 5 secs), +7m (add 7 minutes), etc.

Clipboard:

• Ctrl-C - Copies current line(s) to clipboard (excluding date/time, level, etc.)
• Ctrl-Shift-C - Copies full line(s) to clipboard (including date/time, level, etc.)

Note that you can select several consecutive lines for copying them to clipboard.

Font

• +/- - Increase/Decrease the current font size

Bookmarks

• Ctrl-F2 - Mark current line as a bookmark
• Ctrl-Shift-F2 - Clear all existing bookmarks
• F2, Shift-F2 - Move to next/previous bookmark

Toggle Hotkeys

The Toggle hotkeys are meant to help you show as much information as possible - once you don't need something anymore, just hide it!

Also, remember that all hotkeys use the Alt key.

• Alt-F - toggle (show/hide) Filters Pane.
• Alt-O - toggle S[o]ource Pane.
• Alt-S - toggle Status (the bottom line)
• Alt-L - toggle Current View/Full Log (switch between CV <-> CV/FL <-> FL)
• Alt-M - toggle Show Message-only (for normal views, toggles Show-all-columns/Show-only-line-and-msg; for Full Log, toggles Show-all-columns/Show-only-line-and-msg/Show-only-line-view-and-msg)
• Alt-T - toggle Title - show/hide Title and the lower pane with buttons + history
• Alt-V - toggle View Tabs - show/hide the part where the tabs are shown (you can basically hide the Tabs)
• Alt-H - toggle View Header - show/hide the header
• Alt-D - toggle showing Details pane (not implemented now)

Miscellaneous

• Ctrl-N - New Log Wizard window
• Ctrl-O - Open Existing view in Windows Explorer
• Ctrl-P - Open the Preferences Window
• Ctrl-H - Toggle History dropdown (show/hide the history of all loaded logs)
• F5 - Refresh current view

Save/Toggle Positions

This is a really cool feature, allowing you to use several locations/sizes/positions, based on your current needs.

For the purpose of Saving/Toggling positions, the "position" now encompases:

• Application position + size
• Whether app was maximized or not
• Last selected view
• Last selected line
• Splitter position (between Current View and Full Log)
• All Toggles

By default, you're in the "Default" position (you can also call it, position zero). Anything you do is automatically saved.

At any time, you can switch to another to another position (1 to 5). To switch to another position, press Ctrl-1 to Ctrl-5. To switch back to the default position (position zero), just press the hotkey again.

When going to position 1-5:

• If you're going there for the first time, the existing position is copied. This works even if you're in another position. So, if you're going to position 2, and you were in the default position, the default position is copied into position 2. If you're going into position 2 from position 1, the position 1 is copied into position 2.
• From there on, anything you do is saved within this position. To go back to the default position, just press the Ctrl-1 to Ctrl-5 hotkey again.
