Tips: How to save several changed tabs by using a shortcut key

[miksko]

One feature I envy fellow developers, who use the Eclipse IDE, is the ability to save all changed tabs with one click. In Sparx you may do this by right-clicking arbitrary diagram tab and select Save all from the context menu, but there is no key combination readily available.

There is a feature in Sparx however, which lets you set up a key combination to represent a menu selection. For the case above you would do like this:

• Select the menu option Start-> Appearance-> Preferences-> Toolbars. Sparx opens the dialogue window Customize.
• Click the tab Keyboard and Sparx will display a form.
• Set the Category drop-down menu to Window.
• The list Commands will display all commands available within that category.
• In that list, select the option Save All Modified.
• The field Current Keys displays the shortcut keys currently bound to that command, if any.
• Put the cursor in the field Press New Shortcut Key and press the combination of keys you want to use.
• Press the button Assign to make it stick and then close the dialogue.
