Paul pointed me to an article on setting up a custom Lpex profile.
Earlier this week, I was able to get my first plug-in to work. I set up
my backspace key as a "newline" key (where, hitting it once brings me to
the leftmost position of the prefix area, and where subsequent hits act
as a down key, just what I wanted). I noticed that this cannot be
assigned to the Enter key (which is what I used in SEU). I'm guessing
that there is no work-around for this? (I can still use the keypad enter
key for the enter function).

I think the regular Enter key is a special case. I can't assign anything
to it either.

I'm still new to RDi, and am trying to find ways to code faster (Still
find that when I'm under the gun to get something done fast, I go back
to SEU, so I'm trying to do what I can to break that habit).

Everyone's workflow is different. If your fingers prefer the SEU style,
who am I to tell you otherwise? All I can do is share that my personal
experience. :-) I'm personally more productive without the line
numbers, but it looks as if our horizons are expanded now that we can
write plug-ins!

Here is the code for my profile plugin....

Cool! Thanks for sharing it!
