And even much better than in Delphi (at least in Version 7, where
persistent blocks are used as search default - when existing - which
is realy annoying).
Are you sore? I think Lazarus does too. But persistent or not, Lazarus
only uses "one line" blocks as default. So any multi-line block is
always ignored
Yes, I see it now. I only tested it with multiline blocks. But I find
that behaviour a bit illogical. Why should the search dialog suddenly
use the block as default (instead of the text at cursor) only because it
consists of one line only? That makes no sense. I would want to use the
text at cursor in *all* cases (independent from persistent blocks)
because I may not even be aware that a block is still active. This way I
have to think about this side effect whenever I use the search function.
Is it possible that Ctrl+Q,B and Ctrl+Q,K jump to the beginning and
end of the persistent block (even if hidden)?
I made it work for hidden blocks.
Yes, the code tools commands to jump to BEGIN and END had the same keys.
After I changed that it works now.
The other thing you may find about the 2 block points is that some
IDE/Editor actions may change them (even is the block is shown => it
would hide it). The reason is that a lot of IDE stuff (like codetools)
used the selection to modify the text (this would work, that a new
selection would be set, replaced, and cleared). All this had to be
changed. I did so, for the stuff I found. If I missed anything, I only
need to know what.
There seems to be 2 other code tools functions that change the
persistent block: Jump to BEGIN or END. Afterwards the persistent block
no longer exists and cannot be recovered with Ctrl+K,H nor can I jump to
its former location with Ctrl+Q,B or Ctrl+Q,K.
BTW column mode: should work the same as in non-persistent:
Yes, it works very intuitive. Here it's configured to use
Alt+Shift+Cursor to select a column block while Shift-Cursor does it in
standard mode.
Thanks again for adding this!
