2.1i - How do I make FPGA Editor work like EPIC (zooming in/out)?

Description

Keywords: EPIC, FPGA Editor, ini, file

Urgency: Standard

General Description:
How can I make FPGA Editor work like EPIC?

Solution

You can change the FPGA_EDITOR.INI file, which is located in the $XILINX\data directory. $XILINX is where the Xilinx software is installed (either Foundation or Alliance).

FROM:
Define some hot-keys (accelerators) that are used in conjunction with mouse buttons. These definitions are consistent with the normal windows applications work with the selection.

alias [LeftClick] "unselect -all; pick"
alias [Control+LeftClick] "pick"
alias [Shift+LeftClick] "pick -k"
alias [Control+Shift+LeftClick] "pick -order rthru:route" # pick route-thrus
alias [Control+RightClick] "zoom in @cursor"
alias [Shift+Control+RightClick] "zoom out @cursor"
alias [LeftDoubleClick] "post block"

The previous definitions could be commented out, and these uncommented, to make FPGA editor behave like EPIC.

#alias [LeftClick] "pick -r" # pick route thrus
#alias [Control+LeftClick] "pick -p" # pick pins
#alias [Shift+LeftClick] "pick -s" # pick nets

I have added this Shift+LeftClick

#alias [Shift+LeftClick] "post block"
#alias [MiddleClick] "zoom in @cursor"
#alias [RightClick] "zoom out @cursor"
#alias [Shift+RightClick] "zoom in @cursor" # for 2 button mice
