Adding ActionScript with shortcut keys

To add elements to a script, use Escape shortcut keys (pressing the Escape key, and then two other keys). For example, if you are working in the Script pane and press Escape+d+o, the following code is placed in your script:

do {
} while ();

The insertion point is placed after the word while, so you can begin typing your condition. Similarly, if you press Escape+c+h, the following code is placed in your script, and the insertion point is placed between the parentheses (), so you can begin typing your condition:

catch () {
}

To learn which commands have Escape shortcut keys, display them in the Actions toolbox by selecting Escape Shortcut Keys from the Actions Panel menu.
