Various TipsWhat follows is a list of features that didn't fit in any of the previous chapters, or just interesting sections from them that I thought were worth mentioning here. If you click the right mouse button inside an Edit window, you get a context menu with several options. If you click the middle or third button of the mouse, the function popup is displayed at the current mouse position. If you drag a file from the Tracker into an open edit window, the contents of the file being dragged will be dropped inside the edit window. If you keep a modifier button down while dropping, the file will be opened in a new window instead of being inserted. If you click the caret position pane in the lower left corner, a Go To dialog will pop up. If you click and hold the mouse on this pane, a menu is displayed with all the folders and the disk of the path to this file. Choosing a folder from this list will open that folder in the Tracker. Double clicking on a (curly-)bracket or parenthesis will select the text between this bracket/parenthesis and its counter opening/closing pair. When you have executed a command in a window, you can choose Undo to remove the output and restore the window to the state before the execution. Choosing Redo will re-insert the output and leave it selected. You can then cut it to place it somewhere else. Incremental search is a powerful feature, which you can start by a keystroke or by clicking the Incremental Search button. When Pe is in Incremental Search mode, every character you type is added to a search string and Pe will immediately try to find that string. By default Incremental Search is case insensitive but you can change this. During installation a commandline application called lpe was installed in the config/bin directory. You can use this app to use Pe as if it was a commandline editor. To let other commandline based applications like CVS use this you should set the environmental variable EDITOR to /boot/home/config/bin/lpe. You can do that by adding the following line to your UserSetupenvironment file (which you can find in the ~/config/boot directory).
