It should be a preference setting when formatting the source
- align =
a = d;
bc = e;
- align keywords
name kwd(b);
name2 kwd(c);
- align datatype keywords and also align keywords after than
name int(3) kwd(b) kwd(d);
name2 pointer kwd(a) kwd(e);
- align datatype keywods and have 1 keyword per line
name int(3) kwd(b)
kwd(d);
name2 pointer kwd(a)
kwd(e);
Lot's of variations. What about splitting parameters, do we put them one
per line etc. etc.

I like it. Key suggestion? Control-equals (similar to ctrl-/ and ctrl-\
handles the comments).

you're trying to copy from Excel, etc. Then block out the area for the "+

some kind of scripting to do that even easier, or at least point out how
scripting is lacking in Eclipse.
<grin> My work here is done... I no longer need reply on my own!
Seriously though, I'm a 35+ year RPG veteran. In my opinion, the
column-orientation that we like is part of the RPG aesthetic. We prefer:
dcl-s v_fulnam like(n_fulnam);
dcl-s v_addr1 like(n_addr1);
dcl-s v_city like(n_city);
over
dcl-s v_fulnam like(n_fulnam);
dcl-s v_addr1 like(n_addr1);
dcl-s v_city like(n_city);
The special RDi Alt-M, -D, -C and fill selection commands are a nice
touch, but I'm not sure if they (alone) make it easy to do the sort of
formatting I like to see. For instance, given this:
v_fulnam = %trim(v_fulnam) + ' ' + v_last;
v_addr1 = v_raddr1;
v_city = v_rcity;
I'd like to select the block of text, press a key and have the editor
align everything around the = sign:
v_fulnam = %trim(v_fulnam) + ' ' + v_last;
v_addr1 = v_raddr1;
v_city = v_rcity;
Pie in the sky? Probably. If I get some time next week I'll try to
write that plug-in code and see how it goes. So, yeah, I'm advocating a
macro / plug-in, but I'm willing to give it a whirl on my own.
Wish me luck!
