Editor profiles

You can configure the editor to adopt the keyboard and command personalities of many popular editors.

Most editor profiles differ only in the keys and commands used to perform various editor tasks.  Some base editor profiles, listed below, also add a prefix information and command area at the start of each line:

• ispf
• seu
• xedit.

The editor recognizes prefix commands used by these editor profiles.  Depending on which profile you are using, you can enter ISPF, SEU, or XEDIT commands when the prefix area is active.  The prefix area appears on the left side of the text area, and may display line numbers or sequence numbers.

Refer to the related information below for information about specific editor personalities.
