I've had several serious problems with OEA performance I have already told about. But the most annoying one is typing either " or { - it hangs the editor on some files for a minute or so (the ABL parser parses the code for its highlighting). Despairing to find any solution which would improve the behavior I suddenly discovered that ABL templates (Preferences / OpenEdge Architect / Editor / Templates) might help me.
I created two templates
` "{$cursor}"
~ {{$cursor}}
The first one allows me to insert an empty constant string by pressing ` and the second one - a pair of braces by pressing ~ respectively.
I must admit it's incredibly convenient from performance point of view but it bears some problems with memorizing it.
Hi Sergey,
Excellent idea, thanks. This will help a lot..
I also had the same problem.
I created a template for insertion of comments:
Example
/ * $ (Cursor) * /
Add ${DATE} and your name to the template and you've got mine.
