Hi all,

I use EPF for more that 6 months and I still looking for a solution to
create horizontal workflow

i.e. from left to right and not from top to bottom as it is done by default.

My problem is linked to the activity diagram / fork and join that I have
only succeded to have horizontal and not vertical.

Yes I am ashamed as it looks like a very basic issue and surely I miss
some combination of key to do the job.

I someone can post all the shortcuts it will be of a great helps ...

Thanks in advance ...

Hello K.
This is a valid request that we got before but were unable to include into
this release. We will add that in a future release.

Peter.

Hello Peter,
Is there somewhere a documentation of the activity diagram editor ?
It can be usefull ...
For instance, I know that you can move elements using ctrl+arrow ...
having all the shortcuts can help us to create good looking workflows ...

Hello.
We are still not done with the online help, but if you download the latest
nightly build you can find some basic guidance for the diagram editor. If
you want more detailed material you need check out the GMF project
resources.

If you would create a table with all the shortcuts yourself, please donate
it to the project via a bugzilla. This would be a very helpful contribution.
Writing documentation and tutorial is a great way of becoming an EPF
contributor.

Peter.

Here is document for basic keyboard accessibility for diagrams. This
document is there somewhere on GMF site but I couldn't find the link right
now. So I am just uploading it here. But basically it came from GMF. We
haven't done anything extra for EPF diagrams, most of those shortcuts should
work as is.

Hope it helps
