Keyboard shortcuts for menu items are shown in the menus.
Buttons for common operations are located just below the main menus and at the top of the File Navigation Pane and AMPL Command Pane. Hover the cursor over a button to see what it does, and click the button to take that action.
You can read a file into AMPL without having to type its name:
Right-click on a filename in the File Navigation Pane, or right-click anywhere in a file’s text in a File Editing Pane; then select Send to AMPL in the contextual menu that appears.
Click on a filename in the File Navigation Pane, or a file tab of a File Editing Pane; then choose Send to AMPL from the Commands main menu, or press Ctrl-R.
An appropriate statement is automatically generated in the AMPL Command Pane, either a model statement if the file ends in .mod, a data statement if the file ends in .dat, or an include statement otherwise.
