Hello,
I am new to scite, and lua, but am intrigued by the editor, and have been using it
exclusively for a few weeks. I don't quite have some details on getting things to
work. I have a couple problems right now, concerning keybindings. Coming from
emacs, there are 2 keybindings that are embedded in my fingers: Ctrl+A for beginning
of line, and Ctrl+K for cut to end of line. Also, I like Shift-Enter to select the
current line. I tried the following in my .SciTEUser.properties:
function SelectCurrentLine(bWithEOL)
local lineStartPos, lineEndPos = GetLineData(-1)
if bWithEOL then
local eol = editor.CharAt[lineEndPos]
if eol == 10 or eol == 13 then
lineEndPos = lineEndPos + 1
eol = editor.CharAt[lineEndPos]
if eol == 10 then
lineEndPos = lineEndPos + 1
end
end
end
editor:SetSel(lineStartPos, lineEndPos)
end
-- Given a line number (-1 for the line where the caret is),
-- return the position of the start of the line, of its end, and
-- the number of the line
function GetLineData(lineNb)
if lineNb < 0 then
lineNb = editor:LineFromPosition(editor.CurrentPos)
end
local lineStartPos = editor:PositionFromLine(lineNb)
local lineEndPos = editor.LineEndPosition[lineNb]
return lineStartPos, lineEndPos, lineNb
end
function CutToEOL()
local lineStartPos, lineEndPos = GetLineData(-1)
local lineCurrentPos=editor.CurrentPos
editor:SetSel(lineCurrentPos,lineEndPos)
editor:Cut()
end
command.name.12.*=Cut To EOL
command.12.*=CutToEOL
command.subsystem.12.*=3
command.shortcut.12.*=Ctrl+K
command.mode.12.*=savebefore:no
command.name.13.*=Select Line
command.13.*=SelectCurrentLine
command.subsystem.13.*=3
command.shortcut.13.*=Shift+Enter
command.mode.13.*=savebefore:no
they show up in the Tools menu, but don't work. I also tried to bind Alt+A to select
all, in order to replace it with beginning of line for Ctrl+A, like this:
user.shortcuts=\
Ctrl+Q|IDM_QUIT|\
Alt+1|IDM_TOGGLEOUTPUT|\
Alt+Left|IDM_PREVFILE|\
Alt+Right|IDM_NEXTFILE|\
Ctrl+3|IDM_BLOCK_COMMENT|\
Alt+A|IDM_SELECTALL|
The other key bindings here work, but not Alt+A.
Finally, I prefer to have the sessions and recent file lists to be in the local
directory, so that I can just go to that directory, start up Scite, and have it pick
up where I left off for that particular project. I changed the source
SciTEBuffers.cxx like:
FilePath SciTEBase::RecentFilePath(const char *name) {
SString nameWithVisibility(configFileVisibilityString);
nameWithVisibility.append(name);
// return FilePath(GetSciteUserHome(), nameWithVisibility.c_str());
// bb - changed so that it uses the local directory
return FilePath("./", nameWithVisibility.c_str());
}
I think this would make a good option in the editor. Is this something that I should
suggest in some formal way?
thanks for any help (and your patience)!
bb
