Dreamweaver check links on current document

Hi.

I used to use DW CS4 and could check my links using the Shift+F8. I don't see this available on DW CC 2018. Has this been changed or removed?

Thanks,

Garry.

Correct answer Paul-M
So is there a way to check links on the page and not just site wide? Just hoping there's a quick answer before I go reading through the links.

Yes with the link checker panel - to access the panel go to the toolbar > windows > results > link checker

You can check links on current document or sitewide, see the answer above with screenshot.

A lot has changed in DW since CS4.   You have about a decade of catching up to do.  See links below.

Thanks for the links. I'll make sure to take a look.

So is there a way to check links on the page and not just site wide? Just hoping there's a quick answer before I go reading through the links.

There's only a few things I really need in DW. It's always frustrating getting used to new versions or when they move things around and you spend 5 minutes trying to find it. Like apply source formatting. lol

CTL + F8 is the default shortcut for check links sitewide, it works in CC 2019. I tried the default shortcut (Shift + F8) for check links on current document and it didn't work, so I tried setting a custom shortcut for check links on current document and that didn't work either. Could be a glitch/bug that needs to be reported to the Dreamweaver team.

Solution, workaround is to do it  using the link checker panel instead.
