Buck,
I appreciate you sane sage advice, when I am going crazy with RDI...
When I updated my find preference, it did not tell me that I need a restart. However, a re-start fixed my tab issue...
I have HUGE "Trust" issue with this unreliable software. I didn't think Editor software should be so hard!!!!
At least this Crappy release is slightly better than the RDP 8.5 from HELL. That release would just "disappear" with NO WARNING! At least it is not as BAD as that RELEASE!!
Some please let me know how I can fall back to 9.0.1. Where can I download on the web, and re-apply the license?
Please share a link for the older RDI 9.0.1. Thanks!!!

Hi Ken,
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".
Yeah, that would get old very fast. No wonder I abandoned the tab key for this dialogue so many years ago! But that's not why I'm replying: I have a factory fresh 9.1.1 install with a brand new workspace and it works exactly as you have described above with the exception that I have to do another tab. 'Wrap' is between 'Regular expression' and 'Select found text'. :-(
I create another new work-space, and then it went down to 4-tabs, which is better than 11-tabs!
Hm. I have a brand new workspace and I have to use the 12 tab sequence (or the alt-key shortcuts).
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!
Hm again. I have begun the habit of creating a new workspace with each version of RDi, but after that, my RDi behaviour is very consistent day to day. I wonder what the difference is between our setups? We have McAffee antivirus here, Windows 7 32 bit. I installed my RDi in c:\ibm\rdi so I don't have to worry about the goofy Windows issues with virtualised directories, or spaces in the directory tree.
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)
I also have Incremental find dialog checked.
I am using the lpex editor profile, not the eclipse editor profile.
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>
I find that checking the Regular expression box in LPEX Editor > Find Text does not carry forward at all to the Ctrl-f dialogue box. That's whether I restart RDi or not; it simply doesn't seem to remember if I've ticked that box. However, when I tick the box in the Ctrl-f dialogue, it remembers it and that choice shows up in the preference.
There ARE some preferences which require a restart, but RDi always tells me when I change one of those. Usually it's a base Eclipse sort of preference.
