Re: RDP 8.0.3 (Block comment)

This is exactly how I do it as well Vern. Except my keyboard has a little
'Menu' button between the right alt and right ctl buttons which works as a
right click.

Re: [WDSCI-L] RDP 8.0.3 (Block comment)






I've long had a way to comment a block - use the block selection features.

1. Put cursor in comment position of first line
2. Press Alt-R
3. Cursor down to end of block
4. Press Alt-R again
5. Right-click
6. Type L-E-*
7. Press Enter

Ba-da-bing!

Alt-R is for selecting a Rectangle. Steps 5-7 are for putting a fill
string into whatever the selected bit is.

For free-form, insert a cursor-right after step 3 and use // instead of
the asterisk in step 6

I use this all the time to put version markers in columns 1-5 of RPG,
also.

I do like the idea of some auto-comment as has been described. I just
probably will keep using this method, but who knows?

Just a minor whinge, but the block commenting doesn't work how I want it

to.

To comment three lines I press Home, Shift+Down (x3), Shift+Left,

Ctrl+/, where I would expect to press Home, Shift+Down (x3), Ctrl+/ based
on the other "selected" functions available.

Another minor issue is that it *inserts* an asterisk at column 7 on all

selected lines (in non-FREE RPG) but I would prefer it to overwrite column
7 with an asterisk instead of moving all op-codes one character to the
right which makes things look untidy in column-specific RPG code. Has
anyone seen a preferences page somewhere for it? I can't find one.

With FREE code, it inserts // at column 8 which is fair enough, but it

still comments all the selected lines *and* the line that the cursor is
on.

This is by far my favorite refresh/fix-pack.

A couple content-assist issues have been fixed that I reported (SE47725

and SE47784), as well as seeing an RFE I entered come to life (seeing
decimal positions on numeric fields in content-assist). Very cool. And
also - block commenting! That is so sweet.

Any major improvements between 8.0 and 8.0.3.

Looks like a lot of bug fixes, most of which I've never run into :-)
