Re: Copy between open source members in RDP 9.0.0.1

The Alt+Left-arrow and Alt+Right-arrow keys have be reworked such that
they now trace back your navigation in the editor--including within a
source member. Unfortunately, the change messed up the selection of text
so that the Alt+C (copy) or Alt+M (move) no longer work when navigating
using the "Alt+"-arrow keys,

I added the following RFE requesting functionality like we used to have:

Vote for it if you like.

I included a note about using Ctrl+E or Ctrl+Shift+E to navigate, but I
pointed out that they are more complex which increases the chances of
making a mistake.

[WDSCI-L] Copy between open source members in RDP 9.0.0.1

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
