Re: How to remove selection after Ctrl+A in LPEX editor

Hi Ken,

Not bad! Double-click works for me, too! Don't know why I did not think at that.

I assume that the problemm is a bug, because I selected "stream" and _not_ "rectangle" or anything else on the LPEX Editor - Block preferences page.

Thanks,

Thomas.

Thomas,

I use double-Click with my mouse to delete select after Ctrl+A (Select all). Alt+U(Unselect) also works.

I am no expert, but I think that might have been designed that way, so you can use ALT+C (Copy) or Alt+M (Move) the highlight code elsewhere.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] How to remove selection after Ctrl+A in LPEX editor

Hi,

Does somebody know why I cannot remove a selection (deselect) created with Ctrl+A (select all) in the LPEX editor?

My problem is, that I cannot easily deselect the selected characters by moving the cursor after Ctrl+A. Only the cumbersome Ctrl+U works for that.

I can remove a selection just by moving the cursor, when the characters had been selected with Shift+MouseMove or Shift+CursorMove, but not for Ctrl+A.

Regards,

Thomas.
