[news.eclipse.tools] Re: 2.1/M5 Why is the Home Key == first char on lin

["Johan Compagner" <jcompagner@xxxxxxxx>]

ehhmmm

Eclipse has smart past now (or how that is called!) :)

for example:

\tFoo foo = new Foo();
\t{
\t\tBar bar = new Bar();
\t}

Now i go to the end of the line of Foo

then i press Shift-Home (selects only the text)
CTRL-C to copy
then just go 2 down (on the line of Bar)
and press CTRL-V
an Foo will go very nicely on the same indent as Bar.
