Both examples could be done very easily with Geany using a column selection together with find+replace. IMO it's much better than a zero-width selection. A nice feature for a "fill column selection" would be "auto-increment". So if I copy a variable several times, ... char *fill_1 = "Chapter 1"; char *fill_1 = "Chapter 1"; char *fill_1 = "Chapter 1"; char *fill_1 = "Chapter 1"; char *fill_1 = "Chapter 1"; ..it would be very handy to select the 1's as column block, press the magic key and all the 1's would be replaced like this. The auto-increment has to read the first character (the '1' in this case) and use this as starting point. char *fill_1 = "Chapter 1"; char *fill_2 = "Chapter 1"; char *fill_3 = "Chapter 1"; char *fill_4 = "Chapter 1"; char *fill_5 = "Chapter 1"; This is just an idea. But I think this better should be plugin or a LUA script. -- Email: Joerg Desch <jd DOT vvd AT web DOT de> _______________________________________________ Geany mailing list Geany@uvena.de http://lists.uvena.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geany
