Re: Wouldn't it be neat...

This is not true for me. I have a field and a popup menu, largely because I could not get popup menus to work the way they did in LC6 (I never used 7). When I select text in the field, then popup the menu, it deselects the text in the field. More specifically, it sets the insertion point after

Re: Wouldn't it be neat...

What I discovered is that a field (used for another feature) in my rTools general catchall plugin butts in and prevents this code from seeing the selectedText of the topStack. Indeed, if a paste a field in your TextToolBar stack (which I love, BTW), your stack fails as well. And the solution .

Re: Wouldn't it be neat...

does it work if you put it into the selectedchunk instead of the selectedtext? On Mon, Aug 22, 2016 at 8:22 PM, Roger Guay wrote: > Hi Richard, > > I take it back. I thought I had it working but alas, not so much. I can’t > make it work for a button in a palette stack (a plugin)

Re: Wouldn't it be neat...

Hi Richard, I take it back. I thought I had it working but alas, not so much. I can’t make it work for a button in a palette stack (a plugin) and selectedText from the Script Editor of the topStack. Here is my button script: on mouseUp set the defaultstack to the topstack put

If you use the clipboarddata to alter your scripts, you get undo to work again. On Aug 22, 2016, 12:53 AM -0500, J. Landman Gay , wrote: > Here's my original, which does mess up "undo", but it's a start. I use > Command-Shift- to trigger the actions. Cmd-Shift-space,

Re: Wouldn't it be neat...

Here's my original, which does mess up "undo", but it's a start. I use Command-Shift- to trigger the actions. Cmd-Shift-space, for example, picks up the text under the mouse and puts it into the current selection. I use that almost exclusively instead of copy/paste to enter variable names

Re: Wouldn't it be neat...

Yes, it deselects the text AFTER it gets the selectedChunk: char x to z of field y, so you could reselect that same text. Peter Bogdanoff > On Aug 21, 2016, at 8:35 PM, Roger Guay wrote: > > Yes, the selected text is deselected when clicking a button on the Mac. Too > bad . . .

Yes, the selected text is deselected when clicking a button on the Mac. Too bad . . . I really like the simplicity of your idea. > On Aug 21, 2016, at 4:36 AM, Mike Bonner wrote: > > Do as monty suggested and hilite the chunk you want to quote and click the > button.

Re: Wouldn't it be neat...

Trapping the commankeydown message is the easiest way to automate quoting. Rather than altering the script field behavior, I'd recommend using a front script. Just make sure you pass the keys you're not using! On Aug 21, 2016, 6:37 AM -0500, Mike Bonner , wrote: > Do as

Re: Wouldn't it be neat...

Do as monty suggested and hilite the chunk you want to quote and click the button. Though it just popped into my head.. If you're on a mac, and click a button while text is selected.. does it de-select the chunk? I seem to remember something like this in the past, but am not at my mac right now

Re: Wouldn't it be neat...

Thanks Jacque, Monty, Peter and Mike. Mike, I tried a similar script in plugin, but I don’t know how to make it interact with the Script Editor. What am I missing? > On Aug 20, 2016, at 8:29 PM, Mike Bonner wrote: > > I like this idea, so I made a quick and dirty method.

Re: Wouldn't it be neat...

I like this idea, so I made a quick and dirty method. Made a button with this.. on mouseUp put the selectedtext into tText if the first char of tText is not quote then put quote before tText if the last char of tText is not quote then put quote after tText put tText into the

Re: Wouldn't it be neat...

Yes, and add parentheses, curly brackets and square brackets too. Right now I'm doing these with a frontscript, which I can post when I'm back at the computer unless Pete does it first. My version screws up undo and his doesn't. But I'd rather have it built into the editor. Jacqueline

Wouldn't it be neat...

If one could double-click a word in the script editor and then simply click a button to put it in quotes? Has anyone already done this? Yes, I know I can do Find and Replace, but this would definitely be the cat’s meow! Roger ___ use-livecode
