Selecting Text, Finding and Filtering

["Brian D. James" <bjames@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

These questions relate to editing RPGLE source using WDT V5R1 SP3.

1. Is the <Ctrl+Shift+Left> "SELECTWORDLEFT" function setting its anchor
position properly? It sets its anchor one position to the left of the
current cursor position instead of at the current cursor position.

2. Can the ending cursor position of the <Ctrl+T> "SELECTWORD" function be
modified to position the cursor at the end of the selected token instead of
at the beginning? This will allow for effective trimming of the selected
text which is not possible with the cursor positioned at the beginning of
the text. Better still, could this function be modified to actually select
only the word under the cursor and not the entire RPG entry field?

3. The <Ctrl+N> and <Ctrl+U> hot keys will not find the next/previous
selected text as described in the "Keys help". You must enter the selected
text string into the Find/Replace dialog box and press <Enter> or select the
text string, right-click with the mouse to display the pop-up menu and click
on "Find selection" before these keys will work. It would be more efficient
to be able to just select the text and press <Ctrl+N> or <Ctrl+U> to perform
the Find operation.

Likewise, it would be more efficient to be able to press <Ctrl+T> to select
the word and then press <Ctrl+I> to filter on the selected word without
having to first enter the text into the Filter dialog box and press <Enter>
to perform the operation. If there is no text selected and <Ctrl+I> is
pressed then the dialog box should be displayed to accept the text string to
be filtered.

The more features I learn to use in CODE/400 the better I like the product.
However, the more features I learn the more I want.

Thanks WDT/400 Development Team!
