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

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
