Add 'command' action to Lpex Editor Actions

Add a new Lpex Editor Action: 'command'


Use Case:

Lpex Editor Actions allow us to attach an Lpex function to a keyboard shortcut or mouse click. There are some simple commands, like trim, which can't easily be attached to a keyboard shortcut. If there were an editor action that would execute a command, we could assign 'trim' to a shortcut key without having to write a profile or plug-in.

    This RFE has been re-evaluated.  Due to the relatively low number of votes, this RFE is now being declined.

    It's been a long time; I can't recall what I was doing back then. Since most of the interesting default actions are already bound to keys, I probably wanted to use a 3rd party or example command (like runIseriesCommand).

    We reviewed this RFE again and this question we have is:
    Which specific command do you want?

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

    A preliminary evaluation of this request indicates that it is consistent with our business strategy. Further evaluation of this RFE is underway.
