The action bar allows almost any editor feature to be accessed from the keyboard.
> (shortcut: C+ENTER) displays the
        action bar at the bottom of the View and gives it keyboard focus. The
        action bar remembers previously entered strings; see Appendix C, History Text Fields for details.
To use the action bar, input a command and press
        Enter. To see a list of all actions, evaluate the
        BeanShell expression jEdit.getActionNames() (in
        a BeanShell interpreter, not in the action bar). 
Each menu item and tool bar button is bound to an action. To find out the name of an action, invoke the menu item or click the tool bar button, and look in the action bar's history.
If a substring or an action name is entered, pressing
        Tab shows a popup listing matching actions. An action
        can be selected using the Up and Down
        arrow keys, or by entering more characters of its name.
Pressing Enter with an incomplete substring
        invokes the action that would be first in the completion popup's
        list.
For example, entering d-o will invoke
        combined-options, which has the same effect as
        invoking >
        .
Entering buffer.property=value sets the
        value of the buffer-local property named property
        to value. Buffer-local properties are documented
        in the section called “Buffer-Local Properties”.
For example, entering buffer.tabSize=4
        changes the current buffer's tab size to 4.
See the section called “Buffer-Local Properties” for information about buffer-local properties.
Entering property=value sets the value of
        the global property named property to
        value. This feature is primarily intended to help
        plugin developers, since the properties jEdit uses to store its settings
        are not currently documented.
To repeat a command multiple times, enter a number in the action
        bar, then press the key-combination that invokes the command.
        For example,
        “C+ENTER 1 4
        C+d” will delete 14 lines;
        “C+ENTER 9
        #” will insert “#########” in the
        buffer.
        Note: The space characters in these examples should not be typed;
        they are only here to visually separate the keys to be typed.
If you specify a repeat count greater than 20, a confirmation dialog box will be displayed, asking if you really want to perform the action. This prevents you from hanging jEdit by executing a command too many times.
