Strictly speaking, positions 1 to 5 in free-form are no more or less
dead space than they were in fixed-form. You can still use them to
annotate source changes as before, if that is a shop standard. But, as I
said, you can use the old SEU W(indow) command to hide them.

With positions 1 - 6 being dead space in free-form (C spec anyway), it
would be nice to have the left margin be at the usable edit space to
minimize the 5 or 6 characters of white space. Not a big deal since the
cursor positions to the beginning of the current nest level or to
position 7.

Apart from typing "W5" or "W6" in the Line # area you mean? (Old SEU
commands still work.)

set prefixArea off
Brilliant! I'm in agreement with Buck, SEU is the oddball.
Is there away to hide/toggle columns 1 - 5/6?
Thanks

Hi Buck, thanks for your reply.
Wish I knew why User Key Actions works for you without parser having
to be disabled (there must be some other box I need to check or
uncheck somewhere).
As I'm sure you figured out, I'm trying to emulate what I was able to
do in SEU with newline (where, no matter where my cursor is, I could
get to the leftmost position of the prefix area just by hitting one
key one time, and where subsequent hits of the same key act as a down
arrow).
Shame on me for trying to emulate SEU I guess. I wouldn't mind playing
around with a Java macro to accomplish this, if anyone can show me
how.
For now, I'll just enable parsing & continue to hit
Home-LeftArrow-DownArrow (three steps :-(
I hesitate to hijack a thread but I think it might be informative to
share that I personally haven't used the prefix area in years - in fact
I have it turned off entirely via 'set prefixArea off'! All of the
things I used to do in SEU line number commands seem to have equivalent
or better native editing actions.
I have to jump between Word, Excel, RDP, a browser and who knows what
else all day long. All of these applications copy text the same way:
Hold shift, cursor / home / end to select text, Ctrl-C. They all paste
text the same way: Ctrl-V. I find it very natural that RDP follows the
Windows standard; SEU is the oddball here with line commands. I
definitely understand editor workflow though. It's not a simple snap of
the fingers to switch from one editor to another.
