Re: [WDSCI-L] Re: Customized Key Actions.

[Jim Essinger <esinger@xxxxxxxx>]

   Thank you Adrian for your response. 

   This could be what I need - how similar are the profile layouts between
   releases?  Can I, for example,  take the profile from 5.1.0.3 and use it
   for 5.1.2?  Are they backward compatible?  Can I take a 5.1.0.3 to an
   install with not all the fixes/updates on it?

   I will be backing up this file to make sure that I don't lose my
   customizations

   Thanks again
   Jim

     The basic LPEX customizations are set into its defaults profile (enter
     "?defaultProfile" on the LPEX command line for more information on this

     LPEX-based products (such as WDSC's).

     This file is normally
     
<WDSC_workspace_directory>\.metadata\.plugins\com.ibm.lpex\Editor.properties. 
     Note, however, that a current bug may locate it elsewhere (e.g.,
     C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application
     Data\IBM\LpexEditor\Profile.properties) if there is a blank (space)
     anywhere in that <WDSC_workspace_directory>.  To see its exact location
     on a machine, enter "defaultProfile" on an LPEX command line.

     As there is no export/import support yet, a manual copy of this file is
     needed...

            I know that I have set this up before.  I shift source all the
       time
            right or left in CODE by selecting the line (alt + L) and using
       the alt
            + shift + (right or left arrow keys).  I have set my keys up
       (again) to
            do that in the LPEX editor by going to the Window > Preferences >
       LPEX
            Editor > User Key Actions and adding  Key: a-s-left Action:
            blockShiftLeft, and Key: a-s-right, Action: blockShiftRight.
            The question I have is, if I did that in another life (or version
       of the
            tools) why did my changes go away?
            What can i do so the next version does not wipe out my customized
       keys?
            I don't have that many customized keys, but I hate to have to
       re-program
            them every time I load a new version of the WDSCi tools.
            Granted, I did have problems that caused me to unload, and
       re-load the
            tools, and that may have lost the customization for me, but is
       there a
            way to save and load these customizations into the editor?  I
       would also
            like to load these customizations into the two other programmers
       LPEX
            editors, because they are used to some of the CODE functions as
       well. I
            also have another PC that I have to use at times, and would like
       those
            same customizations in that version of the editor.
