View Full Version : Line Detail window - next word key


15-Jul-2004, 08:57 AM
Standard Windows keyboard shortcuts Ctrl-RArrow and Ctrl-LArrow position the insertion point at the beginning of the next or previous word on the line.

I would like to use those shortcut keys while editing text in the Line Detail window, but the current result is that the line gets copied to the opposite window.

I have tried to address this by ensuring that the key combinations are not assigned to any BC function, but have yet to find a solution.

Is this something that can be done thru configuration changes?

I don't have that problem.....what version are you using?

I'm using BC 2.2.5B223 on Windows XP. I've been steadily upgrading the version as new releases come out.

I did a clean install a few months ago when I upgraded my drives, but I remember having the problem before then also. If it's a configuration issue, then I wonder whether it's Windows or BC?

Chris, any thoughts?

Chris is out this morning, so you'll need to put up with me. ;)

It really sounds like you have Ctrl+Left and Ctrl+Right assigned to the "Copy Left" and "Copy Right" commands. Neither of them is displayed in the menu, but you can assign them using the "Keyboard" tab of the options dialog. The defaults are Ctrl+R and Ctrl+L.

The "Keyboard" panel is filled in based on the window it's opened from (don't ask), so make sure you use the Tools->Options command in the file viewer, and not the folder viewer to get to it.

I'll add a bug note about this.

You are the Man, Craig. That's the answer. Who in the world would ever have thought that the setup configuration might be context-sensitive.

Thanks for the help.
