One idea. Create some AppleScript that does a Special Paste that finds out what column you're using indented at then applies the indentation to to everything after the first line of the text on the clipboard, then pastes the resulting text into the document. So it doesn't directly do what you want, but allows you to pre-process rather than post-process.
I suppose you may be able to create a different kind of script that records the initial cursor position, and after pasting, will select back to that point. I think that's doable and would be less code than the above idea. -Kendall On Aug 5, 9:49 am, Tom <tklin...@gmail.com> wrote: > Is there any way to have the block of text that I have pasted into a > document be automatically selected so I can then use other commands on > that text immediately? > > For example, I usually Shift-left or right the block so the pasted > code has the right indentation to match the surrounding code.
