Hi Frank,

Right, we support rectangular selection:

https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/25.0/ug-editor/topics/rectangular-selection.html#rectangular-selection__rectangular_selection_feature

About your attempt to reload the keys in the "DITA Reusable Components->Keys" tab, you should try to press F5 in the DITA Maps Manager to reload the current map's contents, this should also trigger a reload of keys in the side view.

Regards,

Radu

Oops, sorry... oXygen does support "rectangular selection". I first tried and it didn't work...  But then tried again and it does...😉

Hi Franz-Josef,

Thank you for your reply.

oXygen does not seem to support selecting text vertically (like in Notepad++ or MS Word, with ALT key pressed down and mouse button moving up or down), which I use frequently.

Notepad++ is my favorite text editor. I use it every day, e.g. for searching in files.

Regards,

Frank

Hi Frank,

 

can’t imagine editing ditamaps with Notepad++ when I can simply “open map in Editor” in Oxygen (with all bells and whistles). If I change a key there and save the file, the DITA Reusable Components view is updated automatically.

 

Try it, and you never go back to Notepad++ 😊.

 

Greetings,

Franz-Josef

Betreff: [oXygen-user] DITA Reusable Components list (Keys tab) does not update

Hi list,

 

I am used to edit ditamaps with key definitions using Notepad++. Having done so, I do not know how to update the list of keys in the DITA Reusable Components window. I can reindex the information on the Components tab, but there is no reindexing function for the Keys tab and pressing F5 does not have any effect.

What can I do other than editing the key definitions in oXygen?

 

Regards,

Frank
