I'm copying lines by the thousands since long time using stream method, and it causes no perceivable overhead, so most probably I will not miss it in my lifetime anymore. One less feature to worry about, and this is always a good thing :) >> Seems much simpler than selecting between 3 different >> selection modes, keeping them in mind, mousing in >> between and pressing out of reach keys like F11, let >> alone Shift+F11. > > You do not need to keep them in mind and you do not need use mouse.

In current hbide code exists application state "active selection > mode", but it should be implemented a different way: a different keys should > start a different types of selections, and no "active selection mode" status > at all. That's why I'm asking about ::startColumnSelection() instead of > current ::toggleColumnSelectionMode(). I absolutely agree, but can't this be made into HBIDE in a simple way? For example: Shift+cursor: stream selection Alt+cursor: block selection Ctrl+cursor: line selection Viktor _______________________________________________ Harbour mailing list (attachment size limit: 40KB) Harbour@harbour-project.org http://lists.harbour-project.org/mailman/listinfo/harbour
