The LPEX editors in RDP are fairly awful and need to be improved.

It has fewer warts than SEU.

My suggestions:

Some of these are user-configurable items, which I think speaks to
Booth's remarks on we in the community doing more show and tell. Some
have tried: http://wiki.midrange.com/index.php/WDSC_shortcuts

Get rid of the line numbers on the left.

Press Escape to get to the command line, then setPrefixArea off.

Put in a descent find/replace with regex support.

We have regex find which is light-years beyond SEU. I still use
Notepad++ for regex replace.

The enter key should break the line at the position of the cursor.

I assign Alt-Shift-S to splitAndShift and Alt-S to split. Query
keyAction.a-s and set keyAction.a-s.

I can come up with more. I'll bet others have favorites, too.

You bet! Open an RFE for enhancements. This list is incredible, but it
is not a direct channel into IBM development. RFEs are. For instance,
here is 'Update outline view continuously'
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=10303
Only by demonstrating demand will IBM ever allocate the time and people
to make changes happen.
