• sets Alt+. to action zoom (defined in ZoomAction) to zoom in / out a document segment
• sets Alt+F1 to action compose (defined in ComposeAction) to enter special characters
• redefines Alt+J (join) (see CloseJoin) to remove extra spaces between the joined texts
• sets Alt+T to action blockTransfer (defined in BlockTransferAction) to transfer selection, adds it to the popup
• redefines Ctrl+Backspace (delete line) to preserve the cursor column position
• redefines Ctrl+N (find next) (see FindNextSelection) to search for the selected text, if any
• sets Ctrl+Shift+V to do a paste replace
• redefines mouse button 1 double-click to select the current line
• sets the default selection type to character
• redefines the findText command (using FindTextContextCommand) to show the context for the result of find-text command and actions
• defines commands detab, entab (using DetabCommand, EntabCommand)
• defines command synonyms diff for compare, k for calc, reload for load, and a pre command as 'synonym' for the command-line implicit set/query of the prefixArea parameter
• sets new mouse button 1 drag actions to always start new selections (using MouseReselect)
• adds an action to the pop-up menu of Java properties document views to compare ignoring the mnemonics ('&'s).

Here is the TestUserProfile source code.

To run this sample:

• Register this user profile from the "User Profile" preference page, where available, or from the editor command line:

  set [default.]updateProfile.userProfile com.ibm.lpex.samples.TestUserProfile
  updateProfile

The user profile is run during the processing of the updateProfile command. The updateProfile command is normally run when a document view is created, and it may be issued at any time to allow the document view to reflect changes to the editor profile (for example, a change to default settings done from the preference pages).

A user profile is a public Java class that has a method of the form:

   public static void userProfile(LpexView lpexView) 

See the updateProfile.userProfile parameter.
