Re: [EXT] Re: New position toggle keystroke

And despite my recent issue, I love RDi.  Not only do I use it every day, I use at least one feature per day that makes my life easier.  I suppose the most common is filtering the source for, say, a field name.  But others come into play all the time.  Hovering over a variable is incredibly powerful.  Ctrl-space prompting is a life-saver, especially as variable names get longer.  And I have a lot of 5250 users, so I find the Screen Designer to be incredibly powerful.  The ability to group panels into screens letting you both edit and test them is a life saver.

And lately I've been doing web work again, which forced me to become re-acquainted with the debugger and in particular service entry points.  I forgot how phenomenal SEPs are.  And that reminded me that you can use them to debug 5250 jobs just as easily!

Like Danny I can't imagine not using RDi. Well, no, I take that back.  I recently I had a job where I couldn't use RDi.  5250 access only.  I had to edit, compile and debug entirely in the green screen.  It was frustrating to say the least.  I can't tell you the number of times I was editing source and hit Ctrl-Home to get to the top.  BTW, on ACS that gets you the crosshairs.  :)
