RELATED IDEAS

Block selection and single-keystroke navigation between open source members

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Prior to RDi 9.0, you could do the following:

- Have two or more members open.

- Select a line to move or copy from one member ? ?to another using Alt+L.

- Optionally use Shift+Up or Shift+Down arrows to highlight a block of code.

- Use Alt+Left or Alt+Right to navigate between members.

- Use Alt+C to copy the highlighted lines between the members.

Now in RDi 9 when you press Alt+arrow key, the selection changes from block-selection to stream-selection and the Alt+M [move] or Alt+C [copy] function does not work.


Use Case:

Change the function back to how it was before or provide a new single-key navigation method to navigate between members without changing the selection mode.

(Note: You can navigate between open members and not change the selection mode by using the mouse, pressing Ctrl+E, or Ctrl+Shift+E. However, these methods are slower and require additional steps to navigate. Adding steps to the process increases the chance of making a mistake.)

    Although the theme of this request is consistent with our business strategy, it is not committed to the release that is currently under development.
