Funny you should whine, i was just getting ready to sign off with: I noticed while singing the praises of auto-indentation that there was a shortcoming in The Greatest Feature Known to Editing source code, which is the ability to copy an arbitrary block of code (say, a case statement in the else branch of an if statement in a loop) with a single control-click of the mouse, viz, that I still had to reindent if it was a multiline statement. The first line of course landed exactly where I clicked so that was fine, but other lines in the block were retaining the indentation extant at the time of the click. A few glasses of...<cough> a few hours ago I dashed off an RFE to Franz tech support apologizing for a trivial matter but wondering if it might not be just a line or two, and lawdy-it-must-be-xmas a glass later back came a patch I am just wallowing in. interestingly, the techie happens not to have been a user of control-click, probably a hardcore keyboard guy who never touches the mouse. I started programming GUIs on a Mac 512, didn't /have/ a keyboard.*** And now the punch line: spare me the "oh gosh reindentation is so easy" dodge. So is a manual control-shift-p to auto-reindent after an ungainly paste, but this is definitely one of those deals where we don't notice until we stop hitting ourselves with that hammer. ken -- Algebra: http://www.tilton-technology.com/LispNycAlgebra1.htm BLISS programs Just Work.
