Coding Feature

[omar.kababji]

Hi I have been working with eclipse for a long time and I am really amazed of all of its features that makes coding faster, one of its basic features is the ability to move a complete line up or down using the arrows without the need of selecting the entire line and do a copy/paste operation.

for example if I have the following piece of code

Code: Select all

TRISA = 0x00;
PORTA = 0x00;
TRISB = 0x00;
PORTB = 0x00;

and i wish to move line three (TRISB = 0x00;) and place it after the first line to make the code look like this one

Code: Select all

TRISA = 0x00;
TRISB = 0x00;   //this line was raised up 
PORTA = 0x00;
PORTB = 0x00;

to do this operation I could simply place the cursor anywhere on the third line, press the combination of keys (alt + arrow up). which will move the line up.

in addition another useful operatoin would be the combination of alt + ctrl + arrow up/down which is used to duplicate the same line either up or down.

i think these two operations could be very usefull especially since the majority of coding in assembly would be copy/paste and moving code from one place to another.

now i will go back to my bigPIC board.

Omar.
