Re: Shortcuts

Or you can use Alt + - (X for maximize or R for restore).  Alt + -
brings up the sub-window control box.  A little extra work but at least
a key sequence already exists.

Thanks, Matt

Hi David,

Now, what about this one ? How do I change the size of the editor

window

without clicking on the tab of the member, ie, by using the keyboard ?

The default shortcut key to maximize any view or editor is Ctrl + m. 
However, LPEX overrides this key combination with some different
behavior 
(match function I believe).  You have two options:

1.  Add an alternative shortcut for Maximize in LPEX.

2.  Remove the LPEX association with Ctrl + m.

Both of these changes are done in the Preferences dialog (Window > 
Preferences) under Workbench > Keys. 

For #1.  In the Command area, select "Window" in the Category drop down 
list.  The select "Maximize Active View or Editor" in the name drop down

list.  Now in the Key Sequence area, enter the keyboard shortcut you
want 
to assign the action to in the name entry field (actually enter the 
keyboard shortcut pressing the Ctrl / Shift / Alt keys).  This is tricky

because so many of the keyboard shortcuts are already in use in the 
workbench.  In general, you should be able to use one that is not
already 
in use by "LPEX" and "In Windows" (Ctrl + Shift + m is an okay one). 
Finally, select LPEX/lpex from the When drop down list and click Add.
The 
new assignment should show up in the Assingments area.

For #2.   In the Key Sequence area, enter Ctrl + m (actually hit the
Ctrl 
key and then m).  The assignments area shows what is currently
associated 
with that keyboard shortcut.  You should see an entry for LPEX/lpex and 
"In Windows".  Select LPEX/lpex and click Remove.

A screen shot would have made this so much easier to explain :)
