Re: Customizing WDSC -- WDSCI-L

Press F3 to do a find-next.

You need to re-map the keys. You can do that yourself through Window,Preferences, Workbench, Keys.


In the 'command' frame, category Edit, name 'Find Next'
In the 'Key Sequence' frame, Name box, press F3
  You get a list of stuff that F3 does in the 'Assignments' box.
In the 'When' box, choose 'Editing text'
Click Add.

You should now have F3 as well as Ctrl-K set for searching.

Drag and Drop editing (is this even a feature?)


Never used it but perhaps there's a different block selection mode.

Press a toolbar button to upload and compile.

I have one for RPG that looks like a sheet of paper with 1010 on it. Tothe left of the debug icon and to the right of the Delta/triangle icon.Under the menu bar word Windows.

Get some kind of feedback when

For new folk following along, Eclipse uses a thing called a view whichis a little window like the error list, or navigation tree or debuggervariable listing. Eclipse gathers a particular set of views together asa perspective. A perspective is sort of customised for the sort ofprogramming you're doing. As an iSeries guy, I bounce between theRemote Systems perspective and the Debug perspective. Each perspectivehas a set of views thats suited to the task.

I use the Remote Systems perspective for most of my editing chores.With that perspective there should be a view called iSeries error list.I have that view set to Fast View, which means it's iconised at thebottom left unless I do a compile. When I compile (I preferctrl-shift-C) that view pops up over the bottom of my editing view --when the compile completes. If its jammed in the job queue, it could bea while... To go back to editing, I press F12: my compiles are alwaysclean, (yeah, right.)

If your Remote Systems perspective doesn't have that view, you mayconsider resetting the perspective to its default. When I was donecustomising mine, I saved it as a different name so that I always havemy comfortable IDE settings to hand. Lately, I've modified my customdebug perspective to include the Remote Systems view as well as theiSeries error view. That lets me edit and debug in the sameperspective. I think I like that.
