mark block (ALT + Mouse)

Hello,

I´m looking for marking code vertical/block. I use the command ALT + Mouse-Cusor in ABAP Workbench.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Daniel,

Block Selection Mode can be enabled via ALT-SHIFT-A in Eclipse.

See for example: Vasanth Dharmaraj&#039;s Blog | Eclipse Tip: Block Selection Mode

Regards,

Thomas.

Thank you for this information.

But I think it works different. If I like to format code with TAB the whole line moves. Did I do something wrong?- Is it possible to configure this function?

Hi Daniel,

I guess that in your sample screenshot you want to get rid of these spaces between name of variables and their types.

You could do this like:

press Alt+Shift+A
mark the type definitions block (not the spaces and not the variable names)
- "type matnr
  type werks_d
  type ..
press Ctrl+X
click behind MATNR and move one space right.
press Ctrl+V
press Alt+Shift+A

Best regards,

Dominik
