I don't know about that, I use other editors, and I miss the block commands
on those. They just happen to be handy to me. But that is just how I work.
I can learn other methods if need be, but I find that when I use something
that is different, I miss the features I am used to. I suspect that most
folks are the same way. Otherwise why would anyone ever use vi?

The only reason you still need those block commands is that LPEX is still
light years behind any normal Eclipse editor. Move a line up or down:
alt+up , alt+down. No need for any block commands. The Eclipse Java editor
also automagically handles the indentation of those moved lines. LPEX may
be fine if you don't know anything else.

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?
