Just another note
In the old text editor, all of SAS is available with command macros,
function keys or mouse actions.
One of the differences between the link with all those EE key settings is
that I can program what I want on 'CNTL L' or
place it on a function key. EE Keyboard macros do alleviate this, but I
don't think you can do much programming on pasted text.
However there appear to be more key settings than I have function keys, but
I always have command macros.
It might be interesting if SAS would list all the legacy
functions-procedures-sas scripting capabilities that are removed
with each new interface or upgrade. Put the enhancements somewhere else.
It also might be interesting if SAS did a survey and asked programmers how
they would feel if SAS
removed stored processors, removed the EG interface and forced all users to
migrate to SAS Studio.
