Please read my example.
Go into a TOAD editor window and type this text
schema.view_name
Then put your cursor to the leftmost column (pressing home will do).
Then press SHIFT+CTRL+RIGHT ARROW. In the editor - AND MOST APPLICATIONS, this will highlight/select “schema.”
Now, Press CTRL+O to open a system dialog.
type schema.view_name as before.
Then put your cursor to the leftmost column (pressing home will do).
Then press SHIFT+CTRL+RIGHT ARROW. You will notice that contrary to how other applications AND THE TOAD EDITOR work, the results in a complete selection of all the text.
This is odd, and due to the way I use TOAD and we name our files and objects, quite cumbersome for me.
I need a quick (meaning without touching my mouse or pressing the arrow key a bunch of times) way to select the schema in this case as our filenames are the same as our object names.
Yes, I realize I can remove it first. But in certain situations, what ends up on my clipboard for good reason is schema.view_name. It would be nice to be able to just click CTRL+O, then CTRL+V, then do the quick select of the schema. and press delete.
Thanks,
