Duplicate a line

Postby Reuvenm » Tue Jul 12, 2005 3:14 pm

CMD+D for example, to replicate a line (when the cursor is in that line-begining) OR a block of code (when this block is marked).

Currently you can easily delete line using Ctrl+Y (it is undocummented feature, so it may change). You can also delete line by clicking on gutter to select it and then simply using Del key.

I ment DUPLICATE a line/block (clone, as copy/paste in one go), nice to have when you lay out variables or repetitive lines with only small differences between them.

dbl-click in the gutter to select the whole line, ctrl-x to cut it, ctrl-v to paste it, ctrl-v to paste it again, ctrl-v to paste it again...

starting with the gutter plus cut will insert it as a new line each time. it's one extra key stroke.

I agree: This feature would be "nice" to have. In the mean time, syrupcore's suggestion is a decent work-around.

if, no matter where you go, nothing seems to change, maybe it's time to look at what you're bringing with you.

One feature I've gotten used to in other editors that's similar to what's being discussed in this thread is that the Cut and Copy commands (Ctrl-X and Ctrl-C respectively) will act on the current line if nothing is selected.

So to dup a line is simply: Ctrl-C Ctrl-V

To Cut a line: Ctrl-X

I find this very handly, it would be a nice little addition to WeBuilder.

and another idea if you already have one hand on the mouse at the time:
1) highlight the one line to be duplicated (dbl-click inside gutter on that line),
2) hold down ctrl key while clicking inside the highlighted line and
3) drag cursor to the beginning of the next line.
to some, this may be more work. to that i say:
"To each: their own!" :)
