Hi Martin,
I am too lazy to learn how to use editor scripts.
Probably it will be more productive to spend some time to correct the
editor code.
After all, the Jedi editor - written in Delphi and available in source
code - behaves like old Delphi editor in column mode.
How can I try to fix the problem?
Where is the Lazarus repository with the original code of the Lazarus
editor?
Official: https://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/
For bugs and patches:
https://bugs.freepascal.org/set_project.php?project_id=1
I am running a mirror at https://github.com/User4martin/lazarus/
For most SynEdit and Debugger issues, I can accept pull requests (those
go to me only, no one else in the team, therefore limited to work I will
deal with)
SynEdit is in Components/SynEdit
If you are looking for the Search/Replace dialog, afaik its in the
folder ide/ . Best to start looking from the file ide/SourceEditor.pp .
But probably you want SynEdit.
SynEdit.pp
You probably want to look at function TCustomSynEdit.PasteFromClipboardEx
You should know about the caret pos
https://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/SynEdit#Logical.2FPhysical_caret_position
You can get/set the caret pas on FCaret.
Also you will look for PMode: TSynSelectionMode;
This actually sets the text: FInternalBlockSelection.SetSelTextPrimitive
So then you only need restore the CaretX
----
Now this is important, you will see it works on CaretBytePos (logical)
But you will need CharPos.
Imagine you copy columns from 2 or more lines.
Then (I guess) you want to set the caret to the start of the column in
the *last* line to which was inserted..
If there is a tab at the first line you insert, then you may be at
PhysX=4 and LogX=2 (behind the tab)
If there is no tab in the last line, and you set LogX =2 , well that is
not what you want.
---------------------
Remind me, does the Caret go to the start of the insert, or does it
automatically move one line down too?
And one more thing, if you plan to submit a patch, please add an option
to SynEdit.Options2
Many people are used to the current behaviour, I do not plan to upset them.
The option will then be controlled from the IDE. So the patch will
either wait till I get to do that.
Or if you volunteer ide/EditorOptions.pas (search Options2 or )
ide/frames/editor_misc_options
