[SCRIPT]:Edit > Lines > Surround Lines by... (Insert in Front or at End of Line)

[Stefan]

I find this feature to necessary to let the novice user discover this there self.
(and most customers check the menu first to see if an app suit there needs)


So i want to discus how about to add this feature as default menu item:
"Edit > Lines > Surround Lines by..."

should call an dialog like the pic below shows.

The code behind could be the same as with %SelectedLine%

Till this is implemented we can do this at our own:

------------------------------------------------------------
-  menu "Tools > Options > Syntax Settings..."
-  expand the node for wanted syntax and open "Code Templates" page
-  Click on [Add]

Insert this (or what YOU want):
Key* [ SurroundSelectedLINES ]
Description [ Surround Selected LINES ]
Shortcut [ Alt+M ]

As code insert:
%Insert this BEFORE each line%%SelectedLine%%Insert this AFTER each line%

- click Apply
- click OK
------------------------------------------------------------

Now
- select a few lines
- press Alt+M
- you will be prompte with "Insert this BEFORE each line"
- enter what you want to be inserted before each line
- click OK
- the same for BEHIND
Now you should see what happens ;-)

Note that you can also use something like %Insert this BEFORE each line%%SelectedLine% only.

Or use %SelectedText% to only insert something one time at start and end of the whole block / paragraph (or word, or sentence, or...

HTH?
Happy HippoEDITing

Dont remember, maybe I have disabled that because of the spammers...

But I would think. Dont know how it is important to put it to a menu... From efforts side this is rather easy.
But from another side I want to release next days. Because otherwise it would be nether ending story ) I have already ordered submit of new version to file catalogs

Just by the way.

I have started to mark "completed" topics with "Thumb Up" icon, then it is easy to see what is not yet done in the list of the Feature requests and suggestions.
