Updated LineTools module - changed key bindings for Copy Line operations

Based on the feedback I have changed the key bindings for Copy Line operations to be consistent with Move Line operations (i.e. use Alt+Shift instead of Ctrl+Shift). The new key bindings are:

Action Key binding Icon

Move line (or lines spanned by selection) up Alt+Up Move line up

Move line (or lines spanned by selection) down Alt+Down Move line down

Copy line (or lines spanned by selection) up Alt+Shift+Up Copy line up

Copy line (or lines spanned by selection) down Alt+Shift+Down

I have uploaded the updated module on the update centers described here : NetBeans 5.0 Update Center and Sun Java Studio Creator 2 (EA2)/NetBeans 4.1 Update Center.

DISCLAIMER: This module is experimental. So no guarantees. Use the module at your own risk.

Hi Sandip--I'm enjoying the module quite a lot--the copy and move line methods were sorely missed. Can I change the key mappings, though? I haven't found them listed in the keymap, maybe missing something. I'd like the move keys to be consistent with MS Word, which is where I learned them long ago (in outlining) and which is deeply embedded in my wrists. If they can't be changed for now, that's OK, it's awesome to have in any case. The maps I'd like to use are listed here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HP051866641033.aspx, basically Alt-Shift-Up/Down, which you have mapped to copy :). Many cheers! Patrick

Thanks. I am glad you find the module useful. You can change the key mappings. The actions are listed under Tools:Option:KeyMap:Actions:Other. Let me know if you have problems.
