I have a reason to use the block commands that is probably very specific to me, but I find really useful. I may copy a chunk of code into the clipboard that I'm going to be using for pasting over and over (could be a new variable name, or a // comment). But while I do that, I also need to move lines of code around.

Well, if I use cut and paste, I lose my clipboard. But if I use SEU line commands, I can rearrange source to my heart's content and still maintain my clipboard. Life is grand!

Yeah, I could also use very careful marking and click-and-drag, but my mice ain't always that precise. :)

I had to chuckle at this post because the way that RDi works by default is in part the result of people insisting that it work like SEU to make it easier to learn!

As others have noted you can change the default behaviours and display but while I have many customizations I still use the line number area because one of the few things SEU was good at was moving blocks on lines easily and those commands such as CC/MM/etc. can still be useful.

I'm attempting to use RDI rather then SEU for my development. Along with that, im learning how to code in full free (**FREE).

When using rdi, the editor is very clunky in that it seems to be geared more to old RPG. For example, the delete key wont combine lines below. So:

line1
line2

wont become

line1 line2

hitting the delete key.

Also, the sequence numbers arent really needed anymore i would think, but the editor seems to rely on them.

Is there a setting that can be changed so the editor would work more like Netbean IDE editor?
