Selecting whole text in TI tab
By accident I found a way to select whole text in a TI tab (there is no Ctrl+A, at least in my 9.5.1).
You press 'Tab' key that changes the focus from text field with TI code to 'Goto Line...' button.
Pressing 'Tab' once more selects whole text in active TI tab.
Regards.

Re: Selecting whole text in TI tab
When does this help you?
It also selects the two special lines, which means you can only copy an paste it to another editor, but when you copy it back you have to then select the old fashioned way otherwise you can't paste back, am I missing some advantage of this?
#****Begin: Generated Statements***
#****End: Generated Statements****
btw, another keyboard combination is <ctrl>-<i>, which will put a tab character into the code, I don't use it as I prefer a couple of spaces.

Re: Selecting whole text in TI tab
Hi Jim,
That's my point, it will select the generated lines in both source and target, which means you have to revert to a manual method, like Ctrl/Shift/End.
I was just wondering if there was something I was missing that meant selecting everything helped.

hiraniha,
You're not missing something here, there just is no other way to do efficient copy/paste of code in TI.

Re: Selecting whole text in TI tab
I can't see the issue. When you paste you just have to delete the top few lines. No exactly a big deal, especially compared to selecting manually the whole tab of a TI that has hundreds of lines of code. How does that make this unhelpful?

Re: Selecting whole text in TI tab
Jim,
I am stilling missing the trick, so I see it helps when you are pasting into a new TI tab, that is blank. Then you delete the two generated lines. Debatable as to whether the good old fashioned crtl/shift/end from the first line of the code isn't actually quicker.
If I am migrating a change to an existing TI, I copy the entire tab using the described way of selecting everything, then what is the trick when selecting everything on the target, as this method selects the generated lines so I can't delete or paste it without an error. If I try to delete the code comes back, and if I paste it it keep the original code and the new code, which is worse.
I thought this was trying to suggest a trick way of still pasting the code? Perhaps not, in that case a crtl/shift/end from the first line of the code does the job much better.

Re: Selecting whole text in TI tab
The reply was based on you saying when does this help you. You didn't compare it to any other way of doing it. I'm not doubting there are other ways that you may prefer but dismiss this as you did is the reason why you got the replies you did. You need to make sure that:
a) You're not so dismissive
b) If you do have a valid reason for a) you back up within your initial reply, not 4 posts later.

Re: Selecting whole text in TI tab
Jim,
Not sure if I have offended you. Apologies If I have.
All I was trying to determine was if I was missing something on how to use this as I couldn't get it to paste properly and deal with the generated statements.
I was hoping that someone was going to suggest a little trick to handle that

Re: Selecting whole text in TI tab
hiraniha, did you see my post above ? I wrote that you were not missing something and there isn't (at least to my knowledge) any neat trick out there.
I usually copy/paste to Notepad++ (all code at once, with Tab-Tab), then I edit the code there, I go to the top of the file in Notepad++ with Ctrl-Home, I hit Ctrl-L a couple of times, I do Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C and then I Ctrl-V in the TI tab (where I first select the text after the generated statements).
