Hello Marck & others on TBUDL following this thread,
Sunday, December 31, 2000, you answered George's question regarding
the use of Alt+L for left formatting text (Alt+J for justifying):
MDP> Position the cursor in a quoted block of text (preferably using
MDP> cursor keys rather than mouse - if you do use the mouse you may
MDP> still need to jog the caret left or right to overcome a
MDP> "niggle") and press Alt-L to reflow the text in that paragraph.
MDP> Quotation marking is preserved during the reflow (TB is very
MDP> good at that).
Regarding Marck's last sentence: As long as a space exists after the
carrot. Otherwise, it will mix it into the text.
To reformat: In order to avoid TB!'s not responding (something that
may occur when the cursor is at the upper left of a paragraph, in
particular), instead of using the arrow keys, I found that using the
"end" key ("fin" on my keyboard), is a sure way to guarantee that
lt+L takes effect. I also find it faster and IAC, have it down pat by
now.
In this context, I WOULD also very much like to see 2 additional
features implemented soon.
1).- For the formatting to include multiple, selected paragraphs;
and
2).- Please implement the windows command ctrl + up or down arrow,
to move from paragraph to paragraph. (This would would be an
acceptable alternative to the above, as it would permit
relatively rapid reformatting. It is also a standard and basic
windows command that definitively should have been implemented
some time ago, along with the ctrl + left or right arrow and
the ctrl + beginning or end already supported).
Best regards,
Douglas Hinds
For The Bat! developers,
I'm using The Bat! Version 1.42
Serial Number 5E3E1CD8
under Windows 95 4.0 Build 950 .
There features I would like to see in your program are mentioned
above.
I will upgrade TB! versions as soon as I can get hold of a new (or
good used), bigger and compatible hard disk, in case that what
I've asked for is already there.
Windows stays as is (with in version upgrades when needed), at
least on this early 1996 computer, which just keeps on working.
