How to use Column Editing in uVision3.*

Does anyone know how to use column mode for editing source code within uVision3 IDE??? I am used to using Jens where I could insert text in a column format defined by the start and stop of the drag of my cursor. I could then right click and insert defined text on all lines simultaneously starting where my cursor orignated to the end of the highlighted segment area in a column format. Can anyone help with this??? I know how to use the Alt key and mouse to highlight text in a column format, but I can find a way to enter text on multiple lines in a column format. This is very annoying.

  • I use column editing quite a bit too. My solution is to edit and build within SlickEdit. The build button in SlickEdit can be configured to call uVision with the -b option to build a project. Errors are redirected to the build window so the error parser can see them. The only time I use uVision is to setup or modify a project. Yes, this is a workaround but it works pretty well for me and sure beats using the uVision editor. I prefer using eclipse with the SlickEdit core plug-in. Hopefully someday Keil will see the light and switch to the eclipse framework like many others have.
