Re: Select Rectangle (Alt-R) not working...

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned already, but one thing to look for:  is there anything else that may be capturing hotkeys?  I know that I have had many instances in the past where combinations in the editor we're being captured by another utility or program running in the system tray.

That could very much explain why others are not able to recreate what you are seeing...

Hi Robert,

I'm unable to recreate your scenario. Have you tried to restart with -clean?

Also, when this occurs, please open the File menu and look for any Menu items that have a-r or an underscored letter r.

If the -clean doesn't help, I'd suggest contacting IBM Support and opening a case so we can look into it.

Thanks!

There is nothing in Default or emacs for alt-r.

Hi Robert,

Did you also look for alt-r key bindings? (And look if the Scheme is
Default or emacs).

For plugins I have iSphere, Rocket Aldon LMi.

The bindings only show the two you mentioned.

Thanks,

Rob

Hi Robert,

Have you added a new plugin recently? IE if alt-r goes to the File
menu, perhaps a plugin contributor has added an Alt-R key binding.

You can check the bindings by going to preferences and typing key
and going to General -> Keys. Once at this page, type a-r in the top
box of the Keys page and you should only see them bound to Alt+R for
LPEX/eclipse and LPEX/lpex. If there are more than those, check with
the plugin vendor about how to Unbind them.

Steve, I checked LPEX Editor -> Block and it was stream. I changed
it to rectangle, clicked apply and Ok and tried Alt-R. Nothing
changed, the File menu was still highlighted.
I changed LPEX Editor -> Block back to stream (as you suggested),
clicked apply and Ok and tried Alt-R. Nothing changed, the File
menu was still highlighted.

I also created a new workspace from scratch and opened a member. I
tried Alt-R and still only the File menu option was highlighted.

Any additional thoughts?

Thanks,

Rob

Hi Robert,

I just tested in the latest driver as well and the Alt-R works for me.

Check your preference for LPEX Editor -> Block -> stream.

When I change it to element, I see the behavior you're describing.

Thanks for the confirmation John.

Ken, I tried Alt-U but it doesn't make it work. But I think I was
wrong when I said nothing happens when I press Alt-R. I just
notices the the File menu is now highlighted as if I had pressed Alt-F.

I can work with the Alt-E,E,R but I like my Alt-R.

Rob,

I do Alt+U (Unselect) before using the Alt+R=Rectangle select.
That works for me...

Hi All,

Anyone seen this or know what I need to do to fix this?
When I press Alt-R to select a rectangle nothing happens (that I
can tell). But if I enter Alt-E,E,R I can select the rectangle.

I'm on Version: 9.6.0.7

Thanks,

Rob
