Awesome, I just noticed the updated post on the main page about multiple selections! :D But I noticed at 1:20 in the video, the second and third line from the BOTTOM, when you moved the cursors around, you merged two cursors into each other. When you typed (at 1:26), it wrote it out twice. Is this a bug? I actually kind of like the idea of creating two cursors in the same location..
Also, is there a way to remove a multiple cursor at a location you accidentally put one at? Perhaps if you hold down control AND ALT, it will remove the cursor at that location. Maybe if you hold down control and click on an existing multiple cursor, i twill add another one at that same location?
Just some clarification, maybe this is an upgrade to the projects tab, but as soon as you type in “(” after writing a function, it will auto-populate the parameters much like a snippet. OR, have wordcomplete fill out parameters for you (example 2).
Example 1:
Syntax: PHP
1.) Type in str_ (word complete kicks in, offers “str_replace” as a suggestion)
2.) Hit Enter/Tab, and accept str_replace and is written out for me.
3.) Type in “(” directly after the function name and the new suggested snippet mode kicks in. Now your line looks like (where the curly braces mean tab indexes with placeholder or default text):
str_replace( {$search} , {$replace} , {$subject} {[, int &$count ]})Example 2:
Syntax: PHP
1.) Type in str_ (word complete kicks in, offers “str_replace()” SNIPPET as a suggestion)
2.) Hit Enter/Tab, and the new suggested snippet mode kicks in. Now your line looks like (where the curly braces mean tab indexes with placeholder or default text):
str_replace( {$search} , {$replace} , {$subject} {[, int &$count ]})I find it counter intuitive to have the the projects plugin open, with bars on the right and left of your screen, simply to have function syntax available when I click a button. This is a very long drawn out and buggy process currently.
Thanks and I hope this makes sense! :)
Ok, so I’m in a PHP syntax environment and I have the project plugin running. I click Parameter Information button, but the button won’t stay on. when I type out “str_replace(“, I don’t see any parameter lists or when I mouse over it.
BUG (?): I’m trying to change keyboard shortcuts for every syntax, so I go to all configurations and set a keyboard shortcut. This doesn’t overwrite individual syntax rules that already have a shortcut for that operation. So I have to do them all one by one.
A possible solution for this is to have each of the syntax keyboard shortcuts as a flat file to edit. That way I can easily bulk find/replace the shortcuts in the code editor instead of using the gui.
Another feature request: Have “compare” use the built in window’s vertical dividers instead of popping open a new window. New windows are a pain to control. If you X out/close a window while comparing, the first window’s size and position won’t reset. You have to uncheck compare for it to “reset”.
New feature: Currently vertical splitting only shows a new view of the current file open. It’d be nice to be able to have two different files open in that horizontal/vertical split. Again, this can be accomplished right now by setting up windows similarly to the compare mode. But again, controlling windows is more of a pain than handling sliders and have them grouped together in a single parent window.
BUG: While comparing 2 files, if you “rescan changes”, sometimes the windows/tabs will be flipped. For example, if you have Window 1 on the left, and window 2 on the right and you hit the keyboard shortcut for rescan changes, window 2 will flip to the left and window 1 will be on the right.
