Re: Spastic cursor...

[Scott Johnson <sjohnson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

John,

Try these key combinations:

Alt+Left Arrow   ==> These two will take you between open members
Alt+Right Arrow

Ctrl+Alt+Left Arrow  ==> These take you between open rings
Ctrl+Alt+Right Arrow  ==> I use them to switch between source
                          in split screen

Ctrl+Home  ==> Takes you to very beginning of source
Ctrl+End  ==> Takes you to very end of source

When I am copy source from one member to another I don't take my
fingers off of the keyboard.  Also Alt+U will unblock the text
where ever it is blocked. You don't have to go to the other member.
