IDE - Delete line under cursor

[Marc56us]

Hi Fred,

A (long time) feature request in IDE: Edition / Delete Line (under cursor)
Yes, there are many patches, but these are patches
Remove entire line where cursor is, is very useful for fast code maintenance

Do not set any shortcut: Let the user set the shortcut he wants to please everybody

[RSBasic]

Alternative:
1. Press End key
2. Press Ctrl + Shift + Back key

Yes, thanks, I knew I had read it on the forum.
But:
- Two sequences, and three fingers.
- Requires looking at the keyboard
- Not fast
- Not easy on a laptop
- Even slower than clicking on the line number and press 'del'

Delete entire line exist on scintilla and on any Editor and IDE

Search for "tool code" and add this...

Code: Select all

  Protected.i np = CountProgramParameters()
  If np
    Protected.i hSci = Val(GetEnvironmentVariable("PB_TOOL_Scintilla"))
    If hSci
      Select UCase(ProgramParameter())  ; 0-based index
      Case "UCASE"      ; Arguments: UCASE, Shortcut = [Ctrl+u]
        SendMessageTimeout_(hSci,#SCI_UPPERCASE,0,0,#SMTO_ABORTIFHUNG,#SCI_TMO_MS,@np)
      Case "LCASE"      ; Arguments: LCASE, Shortcut = [Ctrl+Shift+u], opposite of UCase line = [Ctrl+u]
        SendMessageTimeout_(hSci,#SCI_LOWERCASE,0,0,#SMTO_ABORTIFHUNG,#SCI_TMO_MS,@np)
      Case "LINEDEL"    ; Arguments: LINEDEL, Shortcut = [Ctrl+Shift+d], opposite of duplicate line = [Ctrl+d]
        SendMessageTimeout_(hSci,#SCI_LINEDELETE,0,0,#SMTO_ABORTIFHUNG,#SCI_TMO_MS,@np)
      Case "MVLINESUP"  ; Arguments: MVLINESUP, Shortcut = [Ctrl+Shift+Up]
        SendMessageTimeout_(hSci,#SCI_MOVESELECTEDLINESUP,0,0,#SMTO_ABORTIFHUNG,#SCI_TMO_MS,@np)
      Case "MVLINESDN"  ; Arguments: MVLINESDN, Shortcut = [Ctrl+Shift+Down]
        SendMessageTimeout_(hSci,#SCI_MOVESELECTEDLINESDOWN,0,0,#SMTO_ABORTIFHUNG,#SCI_TMO_MS,@np)
      EndSelect
    EndIf
  EndIf

Workarounds workarounds...
Why cannot have Scintilla's default key bindings?
Come on Fred do us a favor and implement this. For God's shake, it is a standard shortcut found on almost every editing application!

Why cannot have Scintilla's default key bindings?

Works here on Mac, see: http://www.scintilla.org/SciTEDoc.html for default key bindings.

Code: Select all

Line delete.	Ctrl+Shift+L

On Mac OS X it is CMD+SHIFT+L, and it works.

On Windows it never worked though

Search for "tool code" and add this...

Code: Select all

  Protected.i np {snip}  EndIf

I searched several places and came up empty.

Try here as a start.
My tool code is very customized for me and all within 1 exe. If the above link is not helpful I can make a generic 1 later.

Delete Line shortcut has been merged in Pull Request #54, should be available in PB 5.72

Thanks,

But I "see Delete selected lines"
Does it mean we need to select line(s) before or is it valable for line where cursor is ?
(even with no selection area)

By "Delete line under cursor" I mean like CTRL + D who dupplicate the line where cursor is, even if line is not selected (reverse video)

PS. CTRL + Y is a common shortcut for this and not used in PB IDE: good default shortcut

[skywalk]

Please NO.
[Ctrl+Y] = standard action for Redo. The opposite of [Ctrl+Z] = Undo.

[kenmo]

Yes, I think it behaves how you want:
- No selection: the line containing the cursor is deleted
- Selection within one line: the whole line is deleted
- Selection spanning multiple lines: all lines touching the selection are deleted

I tried to follow Scintilla's naming conventions. For example SCI_MOVESELECTEDLINESUP moves the selected lines OR else just the line containing the cursor.


I am looking at the IDE source right now: Ctrl+Y is default mapped to Redo on Windows/Linux.
