Re: Tip: User action keys for filtering views.

In Windows > Preferences > LPEX Editor > User Key Actions you can define
shortcut keys to filter a view by selected text and then show all again.

To filter view by selected define a user key action as follows:
        Key: a-l
        Action: filterSelected
Press the Set button.  Now Alt+L will filter the view to all lines
containing selected text in a source member.

To show all lines again define a user key action as follows:
        Key: a-a
        Action: showAll
Press the Set button.  Now Alt+A will show all source lines again. Use this
to see all source again after using the Alt+L keys defined above.

These are quite handy for moving through code based on a target string. Just
double-click or click-and-drag to highlight some text, then Alt+L to see
only the lines in the source containing the text.  Position the cursor to
the line you want to be, then Alt+a to see all the source code again.

Avoid the beginner's error I made when first defining user key actions.  I
defined an action as s-l (which is Shift + L).  Thereafter I was unable to
enter a capital L into my source. Didn't really think that one through... :)

Thanks,
Kelly
