[cross-posted to lazarus list => please join there to continue the topic]
I am trying to figure out how they work....
- Block is kept, if cursor moves away. (obvious)
- Shift Cursur keys:
- Block is extended if cursor was next to block
- New block is started , if cursor was away from block.
(could also be used to extend the block, like shift-left-mouse)
- Block is kept, position/size adjusted if text is typed before, or into
the block (exception, column mode block is not adapted)
- ctrl-c copies the block, at any time
annoyances I found in turbo explorer (the free delphi), not sure if they
are supposed to be.
- Move the caret via mouse (left click) => block is undone
- paste/ctrl-v : the newly inserted text is selected as new block?
(this means the current block is lost)
That's all the knowledge I have about them sofar.
Anyone wants to update me?

Out of curiosity (because I never used this feature in any editor),
what would you use it for?
Persistent blocks and the full Wordstar keyboard shortcuts is why I
use the Delphi IDE until today.
If you miss wordstar stuff, please list it.
Well, maybe I should use the Lazarus IDE again for a bit a jot down
what I would like. I may even soon have time to help add some options.
