How does someone set the delete key in Key Options to both delete the char at the position in the editor AND ALSO delete the highlighted block.

Seems a bit strange that the delete key could not both: "Delete Block" and "Delete char at cursor"

Normally, hitting the delete key will remove code at the cursor. THen when you select a block of text, delete will remove it.

No so with the lazarus editor. Or am I wrong?

Anybody have any ideas?

How do you set this up.

Seems a bit crazy that there is no "Save key mapping to file" option, but pre-canned schemes that nobody can modify and save with their own preferences.

Cheers,

md

I think that you problem is not Key Options related, take a look at:
Tools --> Options --> Editor --> Overwrite block

It is checked here.
