Customizing the Behavior of Home, End, and Tab Keys

You can configure how the Home, End and Tab keys move the cursor in the editor as follows:

  1. Click Window > Preferences > Micro Focus > PL/I > Editor.
  2. Ensure Smart caret is checked and check the following options as required:
    • Pressing Tab in the sequence area moves caret to beginning of the source code area - when this is checked, if the cursor is in the sequence area, pressing Tab moves it to the first line of the source code area.
    • Pressing Home/End moves caret to the beginning/end of the area - changes the way the Home and End keys move the cursor in the PL/I editor. Pressing Home repeatedly first moves the cursor immediately before the first non-white space in the current area, then at the beginning of the area, or to the first non-white space in the preceding area. Pressing End repeatedly first moves the cursor immediately after the last non-white space in the current area, and then at the start of the following area.
  3. Click OK.
