Thank you for the reply, Eric,

I have been fiddling around, and have just discovered what the <join 
lines> function does. :)

Thank you very much anyway,
Warmest Regards,
malcolm

    <pre wrap="">Hello, All,

I'm wondering if it's possible to bind a series of key-strokes to a
hot-key. For example, i have some very large documents to re-format, and
the lines are very short, so to lengthen them i find it necessary to press
&lt;end&gt; &lt;space&gt; &lt;del&gt;, but it's easy to mis-stroke and run words together or
introduce unwanted double-spaces.

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to do this, and maybe - if it is -
to give me some guidance?

Thank you.

Warmest Regards,
malcolm

Please see the docs regarding Actions. They enable you to create scripts and 
bind a key. Now if you stop thinking in terms of keystrokes and think in 
terms of what you want to do you could...

- use sed to replace \n with a space in a selected block (in fact you could 
even do this with the find and replace using regexp)

- use DCOP to move the cursor

This is really just some of the possiblities. You could create a script that 
removes returns unless they are attached to tags for instance.
