Before I start with this post I should mention that Joshua Granick (on of the creators of NME) has a post about:How to Install Haxe, NME and MonoDevelop<\/a>! That will save me some time and who can explain that better than Joshua.<\/p>\n

I wrote something similar when I moved from PC (FlashDevelop) to OSX (FDT) (read my post: moving-from-flashdevelop-to-fdt\/<\/a>). Which also was a reminder when I needed to reinstall or explain it to a college.<\/p>\n

Want to know why<\/a> I’m using MonoDevelop?
\nMoving from FDT to MonoDevelop is not a big step (my opinion \ud83d\ude1b )<\/p>\n

\nAfter reading my post, it looks like I’m leaving FDT… That is not what I’m doing: I’ll keep on using it for AS3.
\nBut I hope to ‘take’ some features from FDT to MonoDevelop\n<\/div>\n

Adding your own short-cuts \/ key-binding<\/h3>\n

First let add some features that I use a lot:
\nMonoDevelop > Preferences... (CMD+,) > Key Bindings<\/code>
\nsearch for “comment”
\nToggle Line Comment : Edit Binding > (CMD + 7)
\nsearch for “case”
\nUppercase Selection : Edit Binding > (CTRL + SHIFT + X)
\nLowercase Selection : Edit Binding > (CTRL + SHIFT + Y)
\nsearch for “template”
\nInsert template.. : Edit Binding > (CMD + SHIFT + 1) [doesn’t work yet]<\/p>\n

Using default Short cuts – (besides the ‘normal’ short cuts)<\/h3>\n

Then there are some default shortcuts you use a lot:
\nrun<\/strong> >> ALT + CMD + enter<\/code>
\ndebug<\/strong> >> CMD + enter<\/code> (doesn’t work)
\nmove the line or highlighted section down<\/strong> >> ALT + ARROWDOWN<\/code>
\nmove the line or highlighted section up<\/strong> >> ALT + ARROWUP<\/code>
\nshow completion window<\/strong> >> ALT + SPACE<\/code><\/p>\n

Adding personal info<\/h3>\n

Don’t have to explain this … right?
\nMonoDevelop > Preferences... (CMD+,) > Author Information<\/code><\/p>\n

Changing settings<\/h3>\n

Perhaps this is very personal, but I’m not writing this for you alone (it’s also a reminder to myself!)
\nMonoDevelop > Preferences... (CMD+,) > Text Editor > Behavior > <\/code><\/p>\n
