Allow going back after following RPGLE hyperlinks

I like the new RPGLE hyperlink functionality added in 8.5.1. It is an alternative to my RFE 11092.However, once I follow a link, I can't easily get back to where I was. I would like a "back" action to go to the previous position.I'd prefer that th...

Include snippets in push to client

The push to client feature is a nice addition to reduce the work required when creating a new workspace, especially when upgrading to a new release (re-using a workspace between releases can cause issues so I always create a new one). However, thi...
