Re: Block Commenting in LPEX

[Jim Essinger <dilbernator@xxxxxxxxx>]

I realize I was did not give all the keys to do it my way.

Alt-R to start rectangle select
Shift- arrow (up down right left) to select the area to fill
Alt-F (Created in the windows>preferences>lpex editor> user Key actions as
key: a-f action: blockFill) brings up the fill prompt at the bottom of the
screen
key fill characters like *
Press enter to execute the fill
Alt-U to Unselect the area


As Vern says - takes longer to describe than to do.
