Let's say I've copied a bunch of DDS into my D specs so I can create a data structure loosely based on the DDS. Pasting DDS into RPG makes the syntax checker paint my screen pink (like it's supposed to!)
If I want to do the same thing to all lines (like add an underscore), if I put the underscore and press arrow down, the cursor goes left. If I press the up cursor, the cursor doesn't change columns.
So I tend to work my way through a stack of errors from the bottom to the top...
