Lpex is an extremely customizable editor. So basically you can make it do
whatever you want

All the keys can be mapped as described in the help
Developing > Developing applications for Power Systems > Developing COBOL
applications for AIX > Reference > LPEX Editor > Customizing the editor >
Customizing the keyboard

you will find different actions you can set
Developing > Developing applications for Power Systems > Developing COBOL
applications for AIX > Reference > LPEX Editor > Default editor action

Unfortunately I don't see one that will do exactly what you want, so you
can create your own (I didn't say it would be trivial to do whatever you
want)
combining blockMarkLeft + blockFill + blockUnmark + left would seem to do
the trick
But I am out of time to actually build it.


Eric Simpson's original series on how to extend Lpex is still valid for RDi
and RD Power.

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...
