RE: Can't open same source member twice

I agree with that viewpoint to be honest.  It's like having the fastest 
car in the world, with no reverse.  Great for moving forward, but even now 
and then you are gonna need to backup somewhere.

RE: [WDSCI-L] Can't open same source member twice






Sarah,

Color me skeptical - I often have views open simultaneously of my D specs, 
the point where a function or subroutine is being called, and the function 
or subroutine itself, and make coordinated changes in all 3 views without 
needing to do any more than go from one to the next (Alt-right arrow or 
Alt-left arrow).  Can a filter to do that be set up as easily as doing 
Alt, F, V, and then paging, filtering, searching, or using the Navigator 
to get to the relevant spot?  Coming from SEU I can see WDSC being a great 
improvement, but if it lacks even the basic features of CODE (or 
flex/Edit, which I used to use) it's just not appealing to me.
