Use EditJustifyLeft to left justify (i.e., align on left) current session text within a specified column range for a specified group of lines.
EditJustifyLeft may also be entered as EditJustifyL[eft], JustifyL[eft], or JustL[eft].
The group of lines can be specified by pre-selecting the lines (see Selection) or by using the FCT operand. If neither a pre-selection or FCT operand is provided, the group of lines consists solely of the current line.
Optional Operands
FCT specifies the number of lines for which text is to be left justified. If FCT is specified as an asterisk (*), text will be left justified for all lines through the end of the session.
Default: 1.
ZONE is the column range in which to left justify text. Enter it in the format xxx-yyy where xxx and yyy are numbers between 1 and the session maximum line width. For example, ZONE=11-20 signifies columns 11 to 20. ZONE=5 is the same as ZONE=5-5, ZONE=5-* specifies columns 5 through the session maximum line width, and ZONE=-5 is the same as ZONE=1-5.
Default: current session zone.
EditJustifyLeft may be invoked without operands by pressing Alt-Shift-(.
EditJustifyLeft will left justify text. It will align text on the left-hand side of the ZONE. In effect, all leading blanks are deleted.
Return Codes
OK Successful.
Examples
