Arbortext editor Select Element

Hi, I use Arbortext Editor 6.0.

Off and on my editor stops selecting entire elements and I am wondering if anyone knows of a shortcut to get it to Select Element again? I have to restart the editor when it happens, but in the earlier version (Epic) I had a short cut for when it happened - I expect it is a bug of sorts.

To specify, it is when I want to select an element with Shift and down or right arrows. It stops and wil only select one charachter at a time. I can choose it from the menu though, but I need the editor to get the settings right.

Any suggestions will be appreciated. Maybe a way to make my own shortcut via the command line?

Does using crtl+l (the letter el) allow you to again select elements?

This causes the screen to redraw.

What view are you working in, the Edit Window, the DocMap, or other?

Do you receive any error messages?

If you right-click, then can you select "Select element"?

Can you select the element by hitting ctrl+e twice in succession? (This will continue up the ancsetory tree)

Can you triple click on some content of the element and get it to select the element?

(Double clicking selects the content. Double clicking on the element tag selects the element)

Hi Timothy,

Thank you for you suggestions. I have been sick, so sorry for my late reply.

As the problem occurs on and off and I have no idea what causes it, I will have to wait for it to happen again to see if any of the above applies.

Will it make any difference if I can double or triple click? I need to be able to use the keyboard shortcuts that are missing to be working efficiently.
