Re: Enhancement Suggestion

Hi Joe,

This is a good suggestion.  I have added it to our list of requirements.
(Boy you guys sure are keeping me busy :-) )

In the LPEX editor, I'd really a preference that would make the "word

left"

and "word right" (Ctrl-LeftArrow and Ctrl-RightArrow, shifted and

unshifted)

stop at punctuation.  Right now it only stops at white space and that's a
pain for:

  OrderArray(oIndex).AddressLine(x) = %subst(LongAddress:curIndex:30);

You basically have to go one space at a time to get to oIndex.  The only

way

to be able to cleanly cursor around is to use what I fondly refer to as
"KlementCode":

  OrderArray( oIndex).AddressLine( x) = %subst( LongAddress: curIndex:

30);

Note the strategic spacing.  And even that isn't very helpful for dot
syntax.  So a couple of options would be nice: word cursor jumps TO the

next

punctuation mark and, word cursor jumps OVER the next punctuation mark

(the

the next position).

You might even consider (although this would be low priority) an option

to

check CamelCase when jumping, like the Java editor does now.  Include in

the

stop list not only punctuation, but a change from lower case to upper

case.

This is primarily useful to those of use who use CamelCase to name our
variables.  However, this one is probably not nearly as useful as the
punctuation breaks!
