Re: Preferences - LPEX Editor

Pls note that in addition to "preferences->RemoteSystems->iSeries..",
there's another place to change the LPEX settings: "preferences->LPEX 
Editor->...".


Thanks.

[WDSCI-L] Preferences - LPEX Editor






There are a few of irritants that I have with the LPEX editor under WDSc 
6.0.0. Build 20050609_2105 as opposed to 5.1.2.

First, in fixed format RPG, when I press the /Enter/ key, it does *not* 
repeat the specification type (F,C, etc.).  And I do have the 
preferences set (RemoteSystems...iSeries...LPEX Editor Parsers...ILE 
RPG: Repeat previous specification type = checked). 

Second, when typing a structured opcode (IF, SELECT, etc.), it does not 
automatically apply the closing ENDxx, which 5.1.2 did.  And, again, the 
preference is set (same page as above: Automatic closure of control 
block = checked, Style = ENDXX).

Third, when I press the /Enter/ key, while the cursor is not at the end 
of the line, it breaks the line at the point of the cursor - which is 
what one would expect in Word or a text editor.  However, 5.1.2 simply 
created a new line regardless of where the cursor was in the line.  I 
even added a preference (LPEX Editor...UserKeyActions: enter = 
newLine).  There is a "workaround" for this one, though: Hold the 
/Control/ key while pressing /Enter/.  I have another action which says: 
backSpace = left.  Works fine.

I use WDSc for editing RPG IV syntax primarily, not web development 
(yet).  I do have both 6.0 and 5.1.2 installed on the same PC, but 5.1.2 
works as described above, which is the way I want it to work.

Any suggestions, corrections would be appreciated.

Thanks.
