Description (last modified by )
My inention is to open a file from a command line, select a specific line and "mark" that line by invoking alt-L (which marks the current line).
I use this to open file "somefile.cod", select line 1234 and mark the line:
epm.exe "somefile.cod" 'mc /postme 1234 /postme key 1 a+l'
This works fine with the original epm.exe but fails with nepmd. I'd prefer if nepmd supported all the original epm commands as they were specified to work.

This is a regression of moving from WM_CHAR to accelerator keys to allow for more key defs and to ease making them. The involved statements, procs and cmds never supported them. They work only with WM_CHAR keys.
Since the NEPMD change to accel keys, WM_CHAR keys are only used for single keys (and internally for those virtual keys that are on the keypad). I've overlooked that
executekey
etc. works also for virtual WM_CHAR keys. BTW: There existDoKey
andLoopKey
, too. They all useexecutekey
. Most likely I should also add a replacement for thelastkey
statement.Until this will be fixed, use a simple change:
BTW: If you want to mark several lines, use the
DoCmd
command and move the cursor down:or easier:
