Tech Note: Easily Edit using the C-Aware IDE Column Editing Feature

Monday 03 March, 2014

The Editor in the V5 IDE has a column editing feature. This is useful if there are several lines that start or contain the same block of text but need to be replaced or edited. To use this feature, press the CTRL key on the keyboard while using the left mouse button on the mouse to select a block of text. Pressing DEL will delete that block of text, or typing will replace the text within the block with new text you type on each line.

This can also be used to simply insert he same text at a given spot on a group of lines. To do that select a thin column where you want the text inserted.
