Re: Copy between open source members in RDP 9.0.0.1

My block type is "stream" by default and the ALT-arrow keys still do not keep the selected block available for ALT-C. However, Brian is right that ctrl-F6 is almost as good as ALT-Left/ALT-Right and does keep the selected block available for ALT-C.

It would seem alt-arrow changes the rectangular selection to stream selection. Try navigating between editors with ctrl-f6 instead.

I am having issues with copy between open source members in RDP 9.x. I
posted before, but I am hoping someone has found or knows of a setting
to make this work since then.

Symptoms:

2 open members - can be CL or RPG.
Use Alt-L, then Shift-Up or Shift-Down arrows to highlight a section
of code, from 1 to n lines.
Use Alt-Left or Alt-Right arrow to jump between source members.
Use Alt-C to copy the highlighted lines between the members.

This USED to work in previous version all the way from 6.x to 8.5. It
still works in my 8.5 install, but I hate to go back to that just for
a quick copy between CL members. In 9.x when I look at the source
members side by side, the highlight stays until I press Alt-C, when
the highlighting changes shape or goes away altogether, and nothing
gets copied into the target source member.

It will work correctly if I take the slow cumbersome way of grabbing
the mouse to select the source I want to copy into by clicking on the
tab for the target source member. Then I can use Alt-C key shortcut
to copy the highlighted source.

Alt-Left and Alt-Right arrow still jumps between source members, but
something messes with the highlighting so that when the copy shortcut
is used RDP does not remember it had anything to copy.

This is driving me nuts, and for me lately it is a very SHORT drive,
in fact it might be a putt! ;^)

Any thoughts? Fixes?

Thanks
