Question 1

What does this shortcuts page cover for Dev-C++?

Accepted Answer

It lists 45 keyboard shortcuts across nine categories: Debug, Edit, EditorPopupMenu, Execute, File, Project, Search, View, and Window. These cover the actions used throughout a typical C or C++ development session in this Windows IDE.

Question 2

Which categories are most useful to learn first?

Accepted Answer

File, Edit, and Execute handle most of the writing and running loop: opening and saving files, editing code, and compiling or running programs. Debug and Search become important once your programs grow beyond a few dozen lines.

Question 3

Is this page specific to Windows?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Dev-C++ runs on Windows only, so all 45 shortcuts on this page are Windows bindings. There is no macOS or Linux column to compare against.

Question 4

Which categories are more like reference material than daily shortcuts?

Accepted Answer

EditorPopupMenu and Window tend to be context-specific and are less likely to become muscle memory for most users. View shortcuts are also situational - useful to know, but not something you will reach for every session.
