Lack of standard features in IDE

[lpcware]

Maybe I am wrong and just cannot find in the LPCXpresso IDE such
standard for any other IDEs or editors I know features as UNDO REDO buttons,
user keywords and others.
If so, please, can anybody explain how I can activate them.
Otherwise, what is the logic of such uncommon approach.
Great thanks in advance,

Varuzhan

Did you know that lpcxpresso is based on Eclipse and CDT? There are lots of 3rd party plugins available and I think there are some that do what you are asking. Try searching (or writing your own ;) )

Again I have no answer on my questions.  I need not just to change colors of
predefined  keywords, but define my own keywords and only then set colors and fonts for them.
And again I want to point for UNDO and REDO and other buttons.  All listed
features are common.  Just examples:
Keil uVision
Microsoft Visual Studio
Programmer's Notepad
Code Vision.

For defining your own colors:
Window->Preferences and select C/C++, Editor, Syntax coloring
Menu bar, Context Menu, Keyboard shortcuts are all there for undo,redo, cut, copy , paste etc. Most people I know much prefer keyboard shortcuts in the editors as it is much quicker than having to move the mouse.

As user keyword I mean possibility to assign a color or font to user defined types,
like uint32_t, Boolean, etc.  Such possibility is common for most IDEs I know.
For UNDO and REDO buttons.  Yes I know about Edit submenu and also
about CTRL Z shortcut, but a direct buttons on the main toolbar, which is also common, is much more convenient.  There are a lot of buttons, which one will use
rarely or not use at all, while such often used buttons as UNDO, REDO, COPY, PASTE, DELETE are absent.  I want to understand why the logic of the LTCXpresso
IDE is so different from conventional.

Hi CodeRedSupport,

I was just looking at the editor templates and since I am a noob with the IDE I need some clarification on how they work.

Take as an example the "switch" template.  When I use the editor and start a switch statement is it supposed to expand automatically and allow me to fill in the details?  I guess my question really is how do I use the template?

Undo/Redo can be found on the Edit Menu (Ctryl-Y and Ctrl-Z are the shortcuts)
I'm not sure what you mean by "user keywords and others". Perhaps you mean templates? Ctrl+Space in an editor to show a list of possible options, or Window->Preferences and type "template" into the filter, to show all the different sort of templates your can use.

Take a look at

Menu->Window->Preferences->General->Keys
