Re: Block Copy/Paste in LPEX

I figured it was a mapping thing. However, what you described sounds to me like the left-arrow key, though I suppose the backspace key may be more accessible w/o shifting the hand based on your keyboard. However the OP was asking for a backspace w/o column adjustment, however it sounds like Matt have have found the solution to the person's problem.

Backspace behavior in SEU (or any pc5250 emulation) depends on your keyboard mapping - I have mine set just to go back without deleting where it goes - I've seen the other behavior at lots of customer sites, however. I'm not sure which I prefer - just used to mine for now!

Ok, I just had to check...

In SEU, when you press backspace (at least by native keyboard mapping) you get the standard backspace function: it deletes the character to the left and shifts all characters to the right by one to the left. How is the user getting different functionality? If there is a keyboard control to do so, noting that may assist in getting some help with this issue.

Also, and very much a minor issue, he does not like it when using the Backspace button to delete a character and have everything to the right of the cursor move over.

If coding in /free, you (err... I) don't want or need the white space. I believe that I am more productive using free syntax and Rdi than ever before.

I prefer the backspace just as it is, thank you...
