Eric,

It's interesting that you mention that. That may give me a clue to solve the
mystery. However, considering that I rearely (if ever) use the Enter key on
the numeric pad, it doesn't explain my "mysterious" change of behavior of my
main Enter key.

Does anybody else have the same problem?

Thanks,

Luis

Well, could it be the difference between Enter on the main keyboard -vs-
Enter on the keypad? For me, using the keypad enter key ALWAYS splits the
line, while the main enter key ALWAYS inserts a new line after the
current....

By the way... I have a problem with the Enter key that I'm not sure is
something that happens only to me. Sometimes it is surprising, but, mostly,
it is frustrating and maddening.

When I press the Enter key in the middle of a line, does anybody know why
sometimes the Enter key splits a line, but sometimes it inserts a blank new
line after the current line?

Example: if I press Enter with my cursor located after the word "is" in the
following text:

Line 1: this is the first line
Line 2: this is the second line

Sometimes I get the following (splitted line 1 into 2 lines):

Line 1: this is
Line 2: the first line
Line 3: this is the second line

And sometimes I get the following (inserts a blank line after line 1):

Line 1: this is the first line
Line 2:
Line 3: this is the second line

It seems to me that I may have been switching by accident some sort of
editor mode.

Thank you all!

Luis

Hi,

You want to remap the key using the "Window/Preferences/LPEX Editor/User
Key actions" menu item and map the key to "home" or "end".

(See the Midrange Wiki, WDSC Tips:

_new_line>)



Best regards,
Paul

We have a developer who is just beginning to use WDSc and is frustrated
that when he presses the ENTER key it inserts a new line. He is, as
most SEU users are, accustomed to pressing the ENTER key after making
source changes. I have unchecked the Enter key behavior - Repeat
previous specification type and it does not appear to help. Any other
suggestions?
