Please make the return of original QuickBASIC 'Ctrl+Y' shortcut
« on: December 19, 2021, 11:58:04 pm »
Speaking of QB64 IDE functionality, please consider adding the legacy shortcut 'Ctrl+Y' in future releases.
I love current 2.01, but it comes short everytime I need to put the current line into clipboard while removing it, too often I used it in the past, truly useful it is.

Seeing that currently 'Ctrl+Y' is mapped onto REDO, I have a suggestion: remove REDO altogether while mimicking the Photoshop scheme:

UNDO - Ctrl+Z
Step Forward - Shift+Ctrl+Z
Step Backward - Alt+Ctrl+Z

Not likely, since SHIFT+DEL can perform nearly the same function. You just have to have the line selected.
Granted after becoming radioactive I only have a half-life!

And some of us would cry over losing the current CTRL-Y behavior...

A related matter is Ctrl \

In QB4.5 it brought up the Search dialog.  I asked that it added to QB64.
Instead it repeats the last search, duplicating F3.

Er.  It does bring up the Search dialog, the first time used, THEN it's
like F3.  Maybe that's what 4.5 did too. I forget.  Ignore this message.
I'd delete it if I saw a button for it.

It works better if you plug it in.
