Matt,
Yes, the Find/Replace on a local connection-document, the Eclipse Find/Replaces, works how I EXPECT!!! <Joy Joy>
The Tab order, the highlighting, everything works how I would expect. <Joy Joy>
Here is my Tab order on LPEX:
1.) Positon to the "find" (Text-Box)
2.) <tab> Case sensitive (Check-box)
3.) <tab> Whole Word (Check-Box)
4.) <tab> Regular Expression (Check-Box)
5.) <tab> Select found text (Check-box)
6.) <tab> restrict search to selection (check-box)
7.) <tab> Restrict search to columns (check-box)
8.) <tab> Next (Button)
9.) <tab> Previous (Button)
10.) <tab> all (Button)
11.) <tab> Replace (Text-Box)
That is 11-tabs to get to the most commonly use "replace".
I create another new work-space, and then it went down to 4-tabs, which is better than 11-tabs!
It should however be ONE-TAB to the Replace-field. IMHO. At least 4-tabs is acceptable.
So, the old, create a new workspace AGAIN to fix RDI 9.1.1. Even though I create a work-space just 1-week ago!
Yup, I don't have to create a new workspace in Visual Studio 2013 to get the tab-order and the find/replace to work...
Day to day things seem to change on RDI, that is the part that DRIVE ME NUTS. No constancy!
Sadly, I am sort of a newbie, only have been actively using WDSC/RDP/RDI since 2006.
window>preference>LPEX Editor>Find Text
I have the follow selections:
Wrap (Check-Box-CHECKED)
Emphasize found text (Check-box-CHECKED)
How find/replace in source member should work:
1.) Put the highlighted field in the "find" Text-Box, like previous version. It worked in RDI 9.0.l.
2.) Second tab order should be the "replace" text-box. Like Eclipse find/replace. 4-tabs is better than 11-tabs.
4-tabs, I guess is "acceptable"...
3.) Another "wish", that when tabbing to the "replace Box" that is automatically highlighted for replacement. If I over type.
Just like the Find Text box, which apparently it works that way on the find, but not the replace.
PS. It appears the ONLY way to get some windows-preferences to change is too "restart RDI". Just changing them does NOT seem to take immediate effect. <Perplexed Look>

Ken,
" And also unlike every other editor on the place, when you do a Find & Replace. The cursor normally position to the find field, and then you hit tab ONCE, and it take you to the REPLACE field. Since that is MOST COMMON reason to use find and Replace!"
I think your statement is invalid as a reason to argue for the LPEX find / replace having a bug. Open a document on the LOCAL connection. Bring up the find / replace dialog. Now tab between controls. The tab
behavior work exactly the same as the LPEX find / replace. The tab
takes you to the next control horizontally then vertically. One of the
prior versions of LPEX find / replace actually broke this default behavior (IMO) when it tabbed to the replace input control before going to the action buttons (I hated this tab action, as it was different than all the prior versions of I worked on).
Maybe what you want is the option to have the default Eclipse find / replace open in place of the LPEX find / replace?
Thanks, Matt

The control+F no longer place the high-lighted field in the Find Box like EVERY OTHER programmer Editor on the planet. This is includes ECLIPSE!!!
Yes, this annoys me...
And also unlike every other editor on the place, when you do a Find & Replace. The cursor normally position to the find field, and then you hit tab ONCE, and it take you to the REPLACE field. Since that is MOST COMMON reason to use find and Replace!
Except for SEU, which is outdated from the 70's or ealier... But even SEU has the second tab as the REPLACE field!!! How about that?!?!?!
What is the most common Reason to use find & replace? To find a string & replace it. The other functions are purely secondary. Why can the Next tab stop be the replace? Yes, you can cut it down from 12 tabs stops down to 4. If you change your window preferences...
But, even Eclipse has a single tab to goto the replace field...
(Long standing issue here, nothing new...)
Over all, I like RDi 9.1.1., but the Ctrl+F not working like Eclipse annoys me the most...
Most, but not all of us, are stuck navigating between a lots of different tools. So, this basic find & replace function should be CONSISTENT across editors. At least allow us to map it out to our preferences if nothing else...
Because I am sure people "LOVE" to hit their tab button a lot...

OK... what is the CRTL-F issue? I agree that the collapsing outline view is a big issue for me. But I thought I read something about CTRL-F no longer functioning as "FIND/REPLACE"

I think most on this list will agree that they are thankful to have moved up to 9.1.1 Some of the complaints have been on new function that is not even available on 9.1 (like the Multiple Occurrence highlighting).
If you insist on staying on 9.1, you can get a test fix for the associated APAR.

After watching some of the issues with 9.1.1, I'm not sure I want to do
that.

I'm running v9.1... I have my view setup with the RPG source member full
screen and the outline view restored so that I can see both while
editing code. If you expand the files under Global Definitions so that
you can see field names, everything in the outline view "collapses" when
you make a change to the source member.
Is there a way to keep the outline view from collapsing?
Greg
