Ok, this is really really impressive. Every time that I have to deal
with text-field selection, I'm constantly banging my head against the
keyboard. This is a fantastic plugin to have on hand.
Some quick suggestions:
- When you replace a snippet, the cursor loses focus. It would be
fantastic if the new replaced snippet was selected too. Like so: foo
[bar] baz becomes: foo [zoo] baz (where [] is the selection)
- In the object that you return, including two other properties:
before (The text before the current selection) and after (the text
after the current selection)
- Make it so that you can bind a .selection() event (or some such) so
that you can have a method be called back every time the selection
changes, for example:
$(...).selection(function(e,s){
alert( s.text );
});
(This would only have to fire whenever the selection is complete)
This is a great plugin - I can't wait to use it! (Especially
considering that it works great in IE, Safari and Firefox!)
