newbie workbench question [message #68210] Fri, 25 September 2009 10:56

i am used to using the hot keys in pre=workbench IDLs.

in idl 7.1, how can I "reset" idl, compile a program, and run it.
Often I have a main level piece of code, and I stop at various
points (or in called routines) and look at the data, etc.
Then I make a change to the code, and I want to reset it
all and run the whole thing again.


ctrl-s (to save the file)
ctrl-r (to 'reset' IDL)
ctrl-F5 (to compile)
f5 (to run the new code).


seems like in the workbench, there is no "reset", and if I just
make a change to the main code, then compile it and run it (Ctrl-F8)
that it tries to continue from the stopped spot. The only way to
run it new again is to go to the RUN menu, and find the "run
currentfile.pro"
item and click on that.

Using the mouse that much is giving me tennis elbow. I need
a hot key to access that "run current file" action. any help?
