Re: I think I've broken my Ctrl-A -- WDSCI-L

Thanks, Steve! I walked through the list, and was still having problems. Outline was fine, everything else looked dandy, just Ctrl-space didn't do anything.

Which got me thinking. So I went to Ctrl-Shift-L/Ctrl-Shift-L (Keys preferences) and compared it to a working version of RDi and lo and behold, my binding for Ctrl-Space (In Windows and Dialogs) was missing. Quick note, the key sequence c-s-L/c-s-L does NOT work if you're in an editing pane, because c-s-L takes you to a line number. But I digress; just click on anything other than an editor and you're fine.

Anyway, I added the new binding. It came up as U (user defined) but for now that's just fine. I don't want to reset to defaults just yet. One variable at a time. And voila! I now have working content assist again!

I still worry about the age of this installation, but for now I'm running again.

Hi Joe,

-clean should work the best. Right click on the launch short cut and append a " -clean". Space with -clean at the end.

It shouldn't take too much longer to start.

Common issues that make content assist fail:

1) Make sure you're in edit mode. CA doesn't work on browse.
2) Source isn't able to produce a proper outline/model. Does your model update as you type or is it stale? Try to change a name. if it changes in the outline, your model is good. If not, go to step 3)
3) Is the live modeling turned off? Easiest way to check is the drop down arrow button on the outline view. It takes you to the ILE RPG preferences. Make sure the setting "Update the Outline view.." is checked.
4) If an exception happened during a content assistant, you may need to reload the editor. Simply close the member, and re-open the member.
5) There are several APAR associated with Content Assist, we are trying to work through them and make CA help you be more productive. IE This could be a new APAR. If so please contact IBM support so we can get this behavior corrected.

I'll put a specific example later, but right now I get no prompting (Ctrl-A assist). What's the best way short of a new workspace to completely clean the gunk out of the RDi carburetor? I've seen -clean which I'm going to try.
