This already exists.
Edit/Multipaste
Oh, have never seen this! But i thought of a more convenient shortcut function:
a) if i a selection is present: build multi-line string from selection in old
style format
b) if cursor is inside an old style multi-line string: open simple editor to
edit and
regenerate multi-line string after editor is closed.
Perhaps a) could be extended/switched to generate external file and insert
$INCLUDESTRINGFILE
directive.
Well, first $INCLUDESTRINGFILE must be integrated in the compiler.
I proposed something similar in the past on the lazarus mailing list, to
quote a block of text. I need it mainly for SQL statements.
So I am all for this 'extension' :-)
Michael.
