This is a kind of bug report

Copy does not work in the assembler tab

Cheers

Tim

Your are right, I will correct it in the next update.

John, I reported this a while ago here:
https://protoncompiler.com/index.php?msg=2399

Please note that the "Find" option is not working either.

Hi John,

could you add some keyboard shortcuts, for instance Ctrl+O to open (source) files, it would make life just a bit easier.

Oddly Ctrl+V the shortcut for paste and Ctrl+X for cut aren't listed in the drop-down menu but do work.

If you could add a custom shortcuts option that would be fantastic

John

I have fixed find and copy on the Assembler tab.  Will add in to the next release.

Shortcuts:
Suggestion
Ctrl+O will simply open a dialog with any file type as the extension. 
If the chosen file has an extension which is supported by the IDE it will open it.
Ctrl+S, ctrl+F, F3 are already implemented as are F9, F10 and F11 for compiling and programming.
What other shortcuts would you like to see?

A custom short cut addition would require more work. How many others would find that useful?

Hi John,
thanks, I'm happy with your suggestions.

I've just noticed that a balloon opens (F3 = Find Next Item) if you hover over the Find button, I hadn't realised F3 does this, it seems to be undocumented?

Hi John,
You forgot to mention in your post that you support <ctrl>Y one of my favourite shortcuts - deletes a line.

I have now created a version which has Assembler Find and Copy working
I have also added Ctrl+O to open any file it is able to.
Also, if you have a block of code selected (Over 64 chars actually) Tab will indent the selected lines. 
This makes it more consistent with other editors. (Shift Tab will un-indent the selected lines as before).
If anyone would like to try this out, drop me a PM or Email me on support@positronstudio.co.uk and I will send you a link.

There are many more Wordstar commands that JohnB could add: https://sfwriter.com/wordstar-command-summary.pdf

Wordstar was my first word processor and I produced many large documents (proposals business propositions mostly) using it.
You don't really want me to add all those Wordstar commands do you?
If there are any specific ones you would like to see just let me know.

Now there is a new version of Studio now available 2.0.2.10 - see here for details

No John, I was kidding and anyway I've forgotten most of the Wordstar commands now.

Interestingly, that was an argument at the time that (Wordstar) keyboard commands for all text editing, which all those key combinations allowed, was more efficient than swapping between keyboard and mouse. That was part of the debate between graphical Mac and text (MS-DOS) PC users. The truth lies somewhere in between I think.

Thanks for adding the shortcut, very helpful.
