For example, if you position the cursor in the number area of a workfile, enter the character " there and then press enter, the respective prefix command is executed and doubles the line thus marked.
You can enter any desired prefix command in multiple number areas in the part of the workfile that is currently shown. They will all be executed consecutively (in top-down order).
Additionally, before pressing enter, you can enter a normal exaEdit command in the dialogue zone. when you press enter, first the prefix commands and then the command in the dialogue zone will be executed.
At the moment, there are the following prefix command (additions are in planning):
" | This prefix command doubles the marked line. |
i | This prefix command inserts an empty line after the marked line. |
d |
This prefix command deletes the line marked. To delete several lines,
you can mark as many lines as you desire with d and delete them all
with pressing enter once.
If the lines to be deleted are in a consecutive row, you can delete all of them at once with a special form of this prefix command:
dn
Since there are digits in the number area, you have to consider this: If you enter e.g. d3 without modifying another column of the number area, exaEdit recognizes the command d3 no matter if there are any digits after the number 3. If you have modified any other columns (no matter if you restored the original content or not), there might be misunderstandings between exaEdit and yourself about how many lines there are to be deleted. To be on the safe side, you should enter the desired number of lines at the right end of the number area, or follow the number with a space. |
dd |
This prefix command comes as a pair. With the following Enter all
records from the first to the second dd will be
deleted, the marked records included. If you have marked only one
record with dd, then this mark will be ignored.
It is also possible to enter several pairs of dd prefix commands and let them be executed with one Enter. If the number of dd marks is odd then the last will be ignored as well. With the command MARK you can see where a single dd is or you can delete it (only the mark, the record will be kept). |
