Hey,

Did you know that you can highlight some text and indent it all by pressing
the TAB key? (that is, for the windows version at least) and do the reverse
by pressing shift at the same time!!!

I just found out, and I find it VERY useful!

What? You already knew? Why didn't anybody tell me! ;-)

Greetings,

Rune S. Johansen

Simple. You didn't ask.

Hehe....block identing (that's what you just described) is one of the reasons
why I use the POV-editor to code both HTML and SIMULA (turning language mode to
'Pascal' as SIMULA syntax is similar to Pascal in many ways)

I love the (Codemax) editor. (Only wish POV didn't add .pov to all filenames
when saving other type of files)

I knew it!!!

Everyone else have always known, and here I come announcing it in the big
newsgroup... I couldn't find anything about it in the docs, so how did you
originally find out?

Hmm, there must be SOMEONE else somewhere in this group who didn't know it
before... So the previous post was meant for that person.......

By thinking: "-Hmmm, wonder if it can do block indenting? Let's see, I use
[TAB] to indent just one line, wonder if it works the same way if I select a
whole block first?"

:)

I'm sure there's someone out there who wasn't aware of this previous to your
posting. So, you surely made someones life easier. And it's better to know it
twice than not at all!

Well, I didn't know it -- but I use an unofficial compile for OS/2,
which just has a command-line interface.  :-)

Marked a few lines of commented code, Time to squash this, My current
code is better, presses tab and hopes for a indentiong so I can start
with the next code, but nooo... The damned code is still there, but has
some new indenting.. *doh* *hehe*


What I really miss in The codemax editor is some of the features that
textpad has. ( http://www.textpad.com/ ) like block select, and a clip
library (love it) There are more things there, but I cannnn't tell the
names. Strange, the only thing that prog doesn't have is a good colour
coding for programming languages and code-completion. (the only prog
that I know that has this is the Delphi 3+ editors)

Is block select like what happens when you hold down the alt key while
you click and drag the mouse?

wich is ?? (haven't tested, am in linux now)

block select is doable both with the keyboard and the mouse... it's a
toggle thing(ctrl+b,q or the popup.)

12345
12345
12345
12345
12345

seeing those lines, with the block select you can mark 234 from some
lines, and replace those with a bcd instead (crtl+insert) or a single
char/line (press a key)
