Re: Block Copy/Paste in LPEX

Vern,
Here is some tricks you might like

set keyAction.a-1 blockFill

Then select your range you want to replace with fill
and the hit Alt-1
same as Right-click+L+E

If you want it permanently, go to Preferences->Lpex Editor->User Key
Actions and set it there

filterSelection will give you the equivalent of Right-Click + L + F

Lots of fun to be had :-)

I've got used to using the keyboard more for some things - once a region
is selected, right-click, then type L - E will put the cursor in the
command line, where I enter the fill characters.

Similarly, to see all the instances only of a selected element, I
right-click anywhere - then type L - F and voila!

Thanks again
Vern

Vern,

You are right, rectangular selection plus block fill (from command line)

is

great for commenting out code or blanking out or deleting sequence

numbers.

I use that all the time.

Its great the way you guys multiply the value of the product with your

own

creativity.

I use the rectangular selection a lot - and I really like having
drag-drop now in RDp 7.6 (I assume it's also in 8). The drag-drop style,
of course, is for stream selections. Even better, I can drag from one
editor window to another. This is like SEU's F15 split window copying on
steroids. Thanks for this new feature.

Another feature I use a lot is filling a selection - any selection -
with a character of string - it wraps in the selection, as I recall - I
often use it to put a change marker in columns 1-5 of RPG code. Or to
comment a section of code.
