Agreed! I use multiple views all the time, but always do the RightClick
on the tab and choose New Editor. This is very nice. No more clubbering
through menus. Thanks for the tip.
Thanks

Re: [WDSCI-L] bookmarks
Just tried that Ctrl + 2 & Ctrl + 0 tip and that's sweet!
Thanks

I'll admit I don't use the bookmarks. So Maybe I'm confused.
I thought they were just pace holders to make it easy to move
around your code
But when you copy and paste.
1. Highlight stuff to be copied.
2. Use alt-c or choose copy from some menu option. this puts
the highlighted text to a windows clipboard to store for later use.
3. Go to where you want to past in the code you copied. If
you highlight a selection it will be replaced by the code on
the clipboard 3. Use alt-v or past from a menu selection.
4, Repeat as needed.
Thanks Bob, Alt-l and Alt-c have been my friends since learning how to
use WDSc V5.
I have a problem with your step number 3: Go to where you want
I'm working on an RPG member with 18000 lines and I have modifications
to make in several sub-procedures. When I analysed the code, I put
bookmarks in thinking that would help. At each line of modified code, I
have to enter a standard line indicating the beginning of the
modification and another for the end. So, during modification which was
rather simple, I wanted to insert my modifications then copy the
standard line and go to the next bookmark for the next modification.
This highlights the bookmark line so alt-c no longer works.
I've tried using code snippets for the standard line, but found that a
bit tedious as I have to change the date and project numbers in the
snippet each time.
I'll try ctrl -C and ctrl -V but that means selecting the right
column. Just thought there might be a neat way.
I don't think there is a wrong way to go about this task but there are
different ways to do it. I think what Bob is missing is that you are
using a rectangular select. At least that's what I think is happening.
On my WDSC 7.0, ALT-C is mapped to block copy or some such thing. I
almost never use block copy for what you're doing. That doesn't make
either of us wrong - it means we have different preferences.
A different way to update separated sections of code is to open multiple
copies for editing. Press CTRL-2 (not F2, the number 2) to open a
second and third, etc. window. Use one window as the copy 'source' and
paste in the other windows. When done, use CTRL-0 to close the extra
windows. What is very neat about this is that updates made in one
window are reflected in all the other windows as well.
Having dual monitors helps a lot with this sort of view!
I myself use either a template which can prompt you for certain
information or CTRL-C/CTRL-V. It is always interesting for me to hear
how others accomplish a task in WDSC. Thanks!
