Re: Enter key changing behavior unexpectedly

Well, could it be the difference between Enter on the main keyboard -vs- Enter on the keypad? For me, using the keypad enter key ALWAYS splits the line, while the main enter key ALWAYS inserts a new line after the current....

By the way... I have a problem with the Enter key that I'm not sure is
something that happens only to me. Sometimes it is surprising, but, mostly,
it is frustrating and maddening.

When I press the Enter key in the middle of a line, does anybody know why
sometimes the Enter key splits a line, but sometimes it inserts a blank new
line after the current line?

Example: if I press Enter with my cursor located after the word "is" in the
following text:

Line 1: this is the first line
Line 2: this is the second line

Sometimes I get the following (splitted line 1 into 2 lines):

Line 1: this is
Line 2: the first line
Line 3: this is the second line

And sometimes I get the following (inserts a blank line after line 1):

Line 1: this is the first line
Line 2:
Line 3: this is the second line

It seems to me that I may have been switching by accident some sort of
editor mode.

Thank you all!

Luis

Hi,

You want to remap the key using the "Window/Preferences/LPEX Editor/User
Key actions" menu item and map the key to "home" or "end".

(See the Midrange Wiki, WDSC Tips:

_new_line>)



Best regards,

We have a developer who is just beginning to use WDSc and is frustrated
that when he presses the ENTER key it inserts a new line. He is, as
most SEU users are, accustomed to pressing the ENTER key after making
source changes. I have unchecked the Enter key behavior - Repeat
previous specification type and it does not appear to help. Any other
suggestions?
