Shortcut to create a list item

[mandy]

I would love to have a shortcut (either right-click or keyboard) to create a list item from a block of text. IE: highlight a line, do the shortcut, and voila the line will be wrapped in <li></li> tags. Currently there are only shortcuts in HTMLPad to create an entire list (including the <ul> or <ol> wrapper) from a block of text... I need a shortcut that will create a list item ONLY. Any chance of getting this in the next release?

I thought your initial request was to highlight a block of text, and wrap them all up individually in <li> tags. If you want to click on each line individually, then you can simply create a snippet. Just add <li> before the caret and </li> after. Assign to a keyboard shortcut. Highlight one line and press the shortcut.

Awesome... I didn't even know you could do snippets in HTMLPad. Thank you!!!

Yup, the web editors (Rapid CSS, HTMLPad, Rapid PHP and of course WeBuilder) do.

Hi all.

Time ago I mentioned something like this in this post: http://forums.blumentals.net/viewtopic. ... 7411#p7411

Maybe the team can review once more. But for now, I think this is at least half the way you need (or I misunderstood the request)

This request was first posted in the support forum where I cooked up a quick application to create HTML code for lists. A quick mod to this could be used to create paragraphs instead. Will update it later.

Again, its not a great 100% solution, but still handy. Maybe...

Thanks for that piece Chris.

The code may be share with the team don't you think?
