Hi, I'm using Lazarus 1.3 r42869 FPC 2.6.2 i386-win32-win32/win64 and tried to do the same thing that is possible with EditPad Pro. "Duplicate text as you type" [http://www.editpadpro.com/trickduplicate.html]. This is actually a very handy productivity tip.
I tried this in Lazarus but it didn't work. I thought it was maybe the 2 stage keyboard shortcuts that are causing a problem. eg: Ctrl+K,B So I updated my keyboard shortcuts and added secondary shortcuts matching what EditPad Pro has. Ctrl+Shift+B for Begin Block, Ctrl+Shift+E for End Block, and Ctrl+D for Duplicate Block. I made sure I have no shortcut conflicts. The editor commands I modified are: - set block begin - set block end - copy block Still, the blocking commands don't seem to work in Lazarus IDE. So have these blocking commands maybe been broken for some time and nobody noticed? As a side note: This is probably not important. In my Windows 2000 system, my default keyboard layout is United-States Dvorak. But as far as I know, the Dvorak layout has never caused such problems. After all, a shortcut is a shortcut, no matter what keyboard layout you use to type that shortcut.
