Key configuration.

[Raghavendra Boralli]

Hi,

Can I know how can I acheive the following?

1. Assign "Escape Key" to any keyboard shortcut..For Ex : Session-->Log On Menu I want to assign keyboard shorcut key as "Esacpe Key".

2. Change the color of the Hightlight edit line.

3. Change the font and Icon of the code contents so that code contents font becomes bold or italic. How can I change the Icon of the code contents[procedure and functions icons]?

4. An option where in the cursor after execution of a query should go the result grid.

5. Working on different connection of databases in the same PL/SQL Program Process .For Ex: If abc@abc.world and xyz@xyz.world two different instances then I should be able to work on those two different instances within the same PL/SQL Devloper program process.

6. Code Navigation : Jump directly with a keyboard shortcut to corresponding closing keyword in the source code editor. FOr Ex : If a cursor is in the IF statement line, then pressing some keyboard shorcut, the system should take the cursor to the next ELSIF or ELSE statement.Currenlty its highlighted. Since we are editing very large package that invloves nested IF & ELSE satements this is very much required for easy Code navigation.

If these are not present, Can you consider these lists as enhancements.

Thanks

Warm Regards

Tools->Preferences->Key Configuration.
Find the action you want to assign the key to, then press the key combination you want.

2. Change the color of the Hightlight edit line.

I don't think this is possible.

Changing font: Tools->Preferences->Fonts
The "Select..." button in the "Editor" section is probably the one you want.
If you only want certain words to be italic, you'll need Tools->Preferences->Editor->Syntax Highlighting

Changing Icons: I don't think this is possible.

4. An option where in the cursor after execution of a query should go the result grid.

I don't understand the question.

I don't think this is possible. You will have to start a separate instance of PL/SQL Developer to work in two databases simultaneously.

This used to work, back in version 5 or 6, but then highlight was introduced and we lost this functionality. Many people asked the old behavior to be available again, but nothing was delivered so far.

Marco, old Ctrl-M behavior was great. It would be awesome if we could have it back, while keeping current highlight function.

Hi Gustavo,

Regarding Point
1.If I Try to assign the "Escape key" to any of the menu the assigned key gets cleared. So how can I assign "Escape key" to any of the menu items. Can you try once and inform me.

2. Can you consider this in the enhancement list.

Regarding Point 3.

3. Event though I changed the font to italic or bold even after the synatax highlighting is enalbed the font is not getting italicised or bold of code contents.Please can you try there once?

4. Suppose after executing some SQL Query, the cursor will be in the SQL Editor. I want the cursor to go to direclty to the SQL Result Set grid after exectuion of query.

5. Can you consider this in the enhancement list.

6. Can you consider this in the enhancement list. This feature would be truimphcard if present in the next releases.

Thanks

Warm Regards

Hi Marco,

Can you please look into the above 6 issues.

Currently, the only accomplishable one is item 4: you can assign a shortcut to "SQL Window: Switch between editor/results" and then save a macro for "Run" + "Switch".
