Title: .process buffer stuck in wrong mode
Post by: link on August 13, 2019, 03:02:21 AM
I accidentally changed the Document mode for the build buffer (.process) to something other than Process, and now I can't switch it back.  Process doesn't appear when I go to Document -> Select Mode, and setting it to automatic does nothing.  I can't click on error messages now to switch to the appropriate buffer now that its the wrong mode.  How can I fix this?  SlickEdit Pro 2018 (v23.0.0.10 64-bit Windows)

On the command line you can type
select-mode process

You can also go to Document>Select mode.

As I mentioned above, Process does not appear in the list when you got to Document -> Select Mode.  But Graeme's command fixed it.  Thanks so much!

Sorry, I overlooked that.

Omitting "Process" from that menu is intentional.  It isn't exactly the sort of mode you would want to switch any normal file too.  Not a problem except for this rare case where someone, somehow, changes the mode of the build window.  I am going to check in a tweak to disable select-mode from the menu for the process buffer (and a few other SlickEdit specific modes that should not be messed with).
