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.
There is a column-mode feature - it just doesn't do all the things you wanted!
"I am just used to Jens' at this point, so it's taking some time getting used to uVision and it limitations and capabilities"
That is always true when switching to any new tool of any sort.
You get the same when switching between different makes of car - sometimes even between different models of the same make!
Yes Andrew, I do understand that. I was just giving a sense of where I am coming from. Anyhow, I am aware of the alt+drag feature that allows you to highlight and delete in column format of which I am very thankful for mind you. I do appreciate you letting me know though Andrew.
Not just delete - you can also copy, cut, and paste the "columnar" block...
ahh yes, I am also aware of those features that exist within column mode. These are all very helpful features. That's one of the reasons I felt there must also be a mode or option for adding text in a column format, but to my surprise there is not. Oh well, I will just edit the files with which I would like to use column mode to get things done more efficiently within Jens' and update the file and go back to uVision.
