Hi Brian,
This is a good idea. I just played with it a bit and notice for it
to work "properly" one must space out the function so (pretending that |
is our cursor) :
This works :
|mysql_pconnect ('...');
This does not :
|mysql_pconnect('...');
As it interpets it all together as one CurWord. Is there a way around
this? Like creating an alphanumeric form of "CurWord" ? Hmm. Anyway,
this is pretty cool and should be exploited by all editplus users. At
some point everyone should look into doing this for other editors too.
Regards,
Philip
