The following short-cut keys can be used for development purposes, to see specific data from Xopus.

  • Ctrl + Alt + H = copy the current HTML FROM IE to the clipboard

  • Ctrl + Alt + Shift + H = copy the current XHTML from the XSL to the clipboard

  • Ctrl + Alt + V = validate the HTML

  • Ctrl + Alt + X = copy the resolved XML to the clipboard

  • Ctrl + Alt + Y = copy the resolved XSL to the clipboard 

  • Ctrl + Alt + S = copy the resolved schema XML to the clipboard

  • Ctrl + R = reload the document

  • Ctrl + Alt + R = Upload a 'reproducer case' to the Xopus team. With this last short-cut Xopus collects all the relevant files in your Xopus setup and thus reproduces it. This is then sent to Xopus, where the developers can take a closer look at what kind of problem you might be having. To use this correctly you should start Xopus, get as close to the error and then use the short-cut. Then describe in the supplied box what the problem is.
