List of snippets
Complex actions cannot be easily bound to a keyboard shortcut as they may require parameters. For these, you can use keyboard snippets. Snippets are activated by first pressing the :
key, typing the snippet name followed by some parameters, and pressing Enter
.
For example, to change the window size in the Correlogram View (:cw
snippet as shown in the list below):
- Activate the snippet mode by typing
:
on the keyboard. You can see the snippet bar at the bottom of the GUI. - Type
cw 200
to change the window to 200 ms. - Press Enter.
To cancel, press Escape to leave the snippet mode.
All snippets
Snippets for Selection
- select :c
Snippets for Clustering
- filter :f
- label :l
- merge :g
- select :c
- split :k
- sort :s
- sort by xyz :sxy
- color field xyz :cfxy
- colormap xyz :cmxy
Notes:
- For colormaps and sorting in the cluster view,
xy
in the snippets refer to the first two alphabetical characters of the column/field/name. For example, to quickly sort by number of spikes, use the snippet:sns
. Sorting is in decreasing order when using this snippet. - For classes deriving from HistogramView, use the
alias_char = 'X'
property to automatically define snippetsXn
,Xmin
,Xmax
to change the number of bins and the histogram range.
