Set languages with custom keyboard shortcuts

You can use a custom keyboard shortcut to set a language. To do this, follow the steps below.

• Make sure that the syntax coloring mode is “active” (i.e., “selected” in the Preferences pane of SnippetsLab).

• Choose Editor > Syntax Coloring from the menu bar and take note of the name of the syntax coloring mode that you want to create a shortcut—for example, Objective-C.

• Open System Settings, choose Keyboard, then select Keyboard Shortcuts.

• Choose App Shortcuts from the left list and click the + button below the right list.

• Choose SnippetsLab in the Application field and enter the exact name of the language you obtained in step 2 in the Menu Title field. Enter your desired key combination in the Keyboard Shortcut field.

• Click Add to submit.

• All done! Now you can press your assigned keyboard shortcut to set the currently displayed snippet’s language.
