Keyboard shortcut for word skipping when editing text

[Vladimir Drzik]

Hi guys

Windows has a standard shortcut for text editation. If you press Ctrl+Arrow, you skip a whole word in the respective direction. It would be very useful for me to have this shortcut for editing text in LV, too. Especially for label and caption edits.

Works for me (LV 8.5 and WinXP Pro) on labels and free labels. I think editing text is a feature from the OS.

I didn't know that shortcut before but it's fun !

Ton must be right, it's a feature from the OS because it's also working in all my LV version (6.1 to 8.20).

I may be wrong about this but I have seen this work and then not work when editing strings and such.

I think it works until you encounter a LF or until the label resizes. Again not sure but I have seen it not work sometimes.

Never studied it further because it is

just a minor annoyance.

Hi

Thanks for your replies. This is just weird. I am using LV 8.5 on WinXP Pro on three different machines and I have never seen this work anywhere...
