Re: turn off automatic line insert when enter key pressed.

Jim,

The changes should persist if you make them via the Window > Preferences :
LPEX Editor > User Key Actions settings. I know the first time I tried in
response to your original post, it did not seem to work. Then I discovered
that It works as expected in a CL source member, but in an RPG member does
not obey my remapping of the enter key. the numpadEnter key will obey the
override, just not the enter key.

Make sure you add the key mapping change, then SET to keep it and Apply to
really make sure it is saved. ;^)

Is anyone else having issue with RDi 9.0 and the enter key mapping not
obeying the override in RPG?

Jim

Thanks Paul and Buck, that's exactly what I wanted! I like the split
line function too.

How do you make those changes persistent between RDP starts?

You can set the Enter key using "set keyAction.enter newLine" in the

LPEX command line, to try out that method for the ENTER key (which I think
is what you want.) Use "set keyAction.enter openLine" to go back to the
default, or just close and re-open the RDP application. ("query
keyAction.enter" will tell you what it is set to.)

If "newLine" is not to your taste, then perhaps just remap to "down"

instead (as in the cursor down key).

If you type "?samples" (w/o quotes) in the command line of the LPEX

editor (from a source member in RDP, press ESC to get to the LPEX command
line) and the help screen will (eventually) show various sample classes
that you can add to key actions, eclipse "user profiles", etc. Some of
those samples work right off the bat, and others require a little work, but
the source is there and will give you all sorts of clues for getting your
environment just the way you like it.

Personally, I have the enter keys set as follows:
set keyAction.enter down
set keyAction.s-enter openLine
set keyAction.numpadEnter splitAndShift
set keyAction.s-numpadEnter splitLine


-Paul.

RDP 8.0.3. ( to lazy to update at this point, I really should )

I am almost always editing existing source, rather than creating new.
I've tried to find the switch in the CL parsers to stop the enter key
from automatically inserting a new line. Instead I would prefer it
simply commits the change I just made and takes the cursor to the

next

line.

My suggested behavior might drive someone creating new code nutty,

but

it will save me time and aggravation since mostly I'm modifying code
I've copied into the member.

Is there a way to do it?

Try setting a User Key Action. Windows> Preferences> LPEX Editor>

User Key Actions

for Key, specify enter
for Action, select newLine
Click Set on the right, then Apply.
