It appears from my testing (with code checked out with hg today) that
the offset parameter means different things in the netbeans insert
command than it does in the remove command. The Vim insert and remove
event offsets appear to match the remove command, but not the insert
command. The objective of this email is to ask:
1) Am I correct?
2) If yes, is that intended?
3) If no, may I submit a patch to make them mean the same thing?
Here's a shell command I use to test with vim:
nc -l 3219 <<END
1:editFile!1 "/tmp/test.txt"
1:insert/2 0 "This is a line of text"
1:remove/3 5 2
1:insert/4 5 "should be"
END
Since the offset is the same on the removal and the insert, I would
expect the result to be:
This should be a line of text
Instead, the result is:
This a line of textshould be
Based on other tests, it appears that the insert command is interpreting
the offset as a line offset rather than a character offset.
Given that the insert command offset is the only one that's different,
I'd like to see it changed to match the others. However, I'm not sure if
others are relying on the current behavior.
And if nothing else, I'd like to give the doc page some love. It took me
several hours and a few gdb sessions to figure out how to get the
netbeans interface going, and I suspect I can save others the trouble I
went through.
