New Syntax Features

Dear SPSS users,

I have a question on the new syntax features in version 25.

Are they documented somewhere? I did some googling but didn't find anything substantial.

"

Write, edit, and format syntax faster with Syntax Editor shortcuts.
Here are a set of features for those users that are primarily syntax writers. We’ve added a bunch of features (and associated keyboard shortcuts) to make writing, formatting, and editing syntax easier. Now with a simple keyboard shortcut you can join lines, duplicate lines, delete lines, remove empty lines, move lines up or down, and trim leading or trailing spaces. In addition, we’re introducing a new column editing mode which allows you to edit multiple lines at once. A killer feature here is the ability to copy data from the data editor (or Microsoft Excel) and paste “down” across multiple lines. It’s a great feature – once you try it, you will no longer be able to go back to the earlier syntax editor. These syntax features are found in the Base editions.

"

Thanks for any comments!

I found some shortcuts in the menu EDIT meanwhile.

Is this the complete functionality or are there other shortcuts?

Thanks,
