First off, Code Compare is very impressive... reasonable licencing terms and reasonable cost for the 3-way merging upgrade. I'm quite pleased I found it.
My question regards the new TAB key behaviour of cycling focus. Unfortunately I can't seem
to turn it off. I'm sure it's a great feature for some (who work with a codebase that uses spaces) but it makes it hard to edit files. I need to either ctrl-C ctrl-V a tab character, or select some text first. The drastically different behaviour between having something selected and not seems... well drastic
I tried adding:
<Shortcut Name="IncreaseIndent" Group="TextEditor" FirstKey="Tab" />
<Shortcut Name="DecreaseIndent" Group="TextEditor" FirstKey="Shift+Tab" />
to a settings file (incidentally, it is impossible to remap this in the UI cuz the assign-key box doesn't seem to consume the keystrokes) but that only half solves things cuz you can only add/remove tabs at the beginning of the line.
Right now I'm using version 280 without this issue... but I'd rather be current. In short, my questions are:
a) Is there a way to disable the tab-cycling to get the old behaviour? Maybe with a shortcut that "inserts a tab"?
b) If yes great! If not will you add one in a future release?
c) If yes to 'willing to add'... if I purchase a pro version, can you send me the previous v4.0 release without the tab cycling?
Thanks!!
