When inserting RPGLE blank line, Tab key should use free-form tabs

RDi 9.1: When a blank line is inserted after a blank line (by pressing Enter), the Tab key is using tab stops at every tenth column (where did these come from?), instead of my free-form tab stops (every 3 columns). Since most of the code I write i...

Would like to be able to generate D-spec fields from selected text The New menu will not appear when text is selected. It seems like it would be a productivity improvement if the selected text could appear in the name input of any of the New menu ...
