Sorry I did not answer to the inquiry before.
While I was off I learned the described method. I still think it would be cooler if you just mark the block and use tab or arrows (perhaps ctrl+arrows) to move the entire block. It more standard compare with the existing editor in the market.
Not a priority, I understand.
Thanks a lot!!!!
The information that we requested to clarify this enhancement request
-- Would the following RFE be sufficient to address your scenario? https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=10189 --
was not provided so the RFE is being closed.
There are 2 ways to do this right now, FYI.
1.
Line Command RR
On the far left of the source, you see the line numbers column. If you position the cursor on the first line you wish to move, then type "RR" (to move right) or "LL" (to move left) and the number of spaces to move (i.e. RR4), then go to the last line that you wish to move and type "RR" in the line column there, then hit "Enter", and all of the text in the block will move the number of spaces specifed. You can move a single line right or left the same way, but instead of two Rs or Ls, just type a single R or L and the number of spaces to move (i.e. L6).
2.
Line Selection with Alt+F7/Alt+F8
Select an entire line using one of two methods:
A. Hold the Ctrl key and double click the line
B. Place cursor on the line and press Alt+L
Once you have a line selected, optionally select other lines by hold the shift key and using your arrow keys, or holding the shift key and click the last line of the block you wish to move. After you have all of the lines you wish to move selected, hold Alt+F7 to move left, or Alt+F8 to move right.
I know neither of these are the Tab key, but I thought I'd at least tell you about these if you were not aware of them. The second method is the easiest.
Due to processing by IBM, this request was reassigned to have the following updated attributes:
Brand - Servers and Systems Software
Product family - Programming Languages
Product - Developer for Power Systems
For recording keeping, the previous attributes were:
Brand - Rational
Product family - Design & development
Product - Developer for Power Systems
