Enhancement Request: ctl-click

[ScottMattes]

PLSD 10.0.5
Win 7

Sometimes I like ctl-click and sometimes I curse it.

Cursing time comes when I have some code selected and I try doing ctl-click-drag-drop and mistakenly do the ctl-click over a table/variable name and WHAM I am suddenly in another part of the code where said object is defined, or in another window that was just opened by PLSD to show me the SQL that created the table, etc.

Muttering is what I do when I want just a table name or variable copied to another spot and either I have to select the object name PLUS a space before/after it so that I have a safe place to ctl-click on.

Just now I had the tail end of a table name highlighted (like the "_hist" in "tablename_hist" and when I ctl-clicked to drag-copy another window opened with the SQL for tablename_hist.

Then, it dawned on me, why not ask that ctl-click be modified such that if there is something selected where the ctl-click happens (like 1 - only part of a word or 2 - much more than a single word) that ctl-click does nothing but the normal Windows ctl-click.

thank you

Hi, Scott!

Try this:
1. Select the text;
2. Start dragging;
3. Press Control;
4. Drop the text where you want it.

Regards,
Gustavo
