Re: Toggle Browse/Edit Mode

Hi Craig,

Setting the default to open browse can be tricky to find.

Preferences > Remote Systems > IBM i > Objects Subsystem > "Open source in browse mode".

Or in the preferences type "Object" to find it faster. (I wish "Browse" would find it!)

Thanks for your reply Steve.

Given how easy it is to switch modes I might look to change the default double click behaviour in the RSE view to Browse.

I haven't checked yet but I'm assuming I can find a way to change that behaviour.

Hi Steve

I like the 2 places to double-click - I just wish that it would show
both modes for editing - as I think about it, the bar above the edit
window does show only Browse - you assume you are editing unless told
otherwise.

The problem is, that blank box at the status bar gives no clue it can
be used for anything. Is there an RFE for this? I thought I might have
submitted one.

No one would easily have a clue about the keyboard alternative, seems
to me.

Regards
Vern

Hi Craig,

The toggle browse/edit mode was introduced in RDi version 9.6.0.2.

You can use Ctrl-Shift-G while in a member, instead of needing to
use

your mouse.

Hi all,

At the bottom of RDi on the status bar there is a rectange you can
click

that toggles between "Replace" and "Insert" - it acts like pressing
the INSERT key.

To the left of that is a box which for me is either blank or shows

"Browse"

Blank means I'm in Edit Mode, "Browse" means I'm in Browse Mode and

double clicking that box toggles between the two modes.

This apparently doesn't work for any of my colleagues.

I'm not sure but I don't think:
- I've ever configured this on.
- It's an iSphere thing ( my colleagues aren't using iSphere )

I'm getting them to check there RDi version but anyone else know why

this might or not be enabled?

thanks,
Craig
