Re: Re: User Key Actions (6.0)

Jerry,

What are the Enter key behaviour preferences on the ILE RPG preference page
(Remote Systems>iSeries>LPEX Editor Parsers>ILE RPG)?  To override the
Enter key on the LPEX Editor preference page, make sure you have turned off
all of the ILE RPG Enter key behaviour preferences.

Adrian,

Thanks.  I did have my capitalization wrong for the "backSpace".

However, the "enter" definition is right (newLine).  Reading the Help
text I'm not sure that is what I want or not.

If, as an example, this email was my code and my cursor is positioned
before the word "Help" on the line above, in 5.1.2, when I pressed the
Enter key a line got inserted below where my cursor was at, nothing
happened to the current line, and the cursor was positioned to the next
normal line for keying.  This was the default in 5.1.2 because I never
set a definition for that key and that's the way 5.1.2 works.  The
"newLine" action is acting just like a "splitLine", which most
definitely is *not* what I want.

Another "anomaly" that cropped up:

In 5.1.2 when I'm in /free, if I typed a "DOW" and pressed Enter, the
associated "ENDDO" was automatically entered.  Annoying in a few
instances (like when I'm putting a wrapper around existing code), but
overall a good thing (in my opinion).  However, 6.0 doesn't insert the
"ENDDO" nor does it automatically indent two spaces into the new line.
I tried searching for a Preferences setting but, if it's there, I missed
it.

Thanks.
