Add "Selected characters count" to task bar in LPEX editors

When working on COBOL or even CLLE programs in the LPEX editor of RDp, it would be incredibly helpful when selecting text within the editor (highlighting it) to show the number of characters "selected" in the task bar (bottom line) of the editor. ...

Widen panel dividers

Maybe I'm getting old ;-) ... but I'm frustrated wasting precious seconds moving my cursor back and forth across the panel dividers in a perspective trying to position the cursor precisely in the 2-pixel (or so it seems) width of the divider, requ...

Update bookmarks as source changes

It appears that bookmarks are stored as simply line numbers of a source file. As source lines are added, deleted, and moved, these bookmark line numbers are not updated. Consequently, after a few source edits, bookmarks become largely useless. Use...

Show Nesting for Entire Program (Possibly with different colored lines?)

When viewing a badly indented (or non FREE formatted) program, it is very helpful to see the nesting for the entire program, rather than just the currently selected block. Also, it would be helpful if the lines were different colors for DO stateme...

Outline auto refresh

I like the auto refresh of the Outline view. But with vary large source members this feature causes serious system degradation and run time errors in RDP. It would be nice to be able to turn off the auto refresh when working on large programs. Use...

I would like to see the outline include files that are used by embedded SQL

I would like to see files used by embedded SQL in an RPGLE program in the outline view. Currently only files defined on F specs show in the outline view. Use Case: I use the outline view occasionally to see what files a program uses and how. If fi...

Outline API

It will be really great if the Outline classes could be used from a RDp Plugin project or from a custom Java class. This will allow a programmer to parse RPG source code an to obtain related metadata from it. For example, detect which variables ar...
