Template Params edit simultanously

Is it possible to simultaneously replacement parameter of code
template? For example I define code template something like this:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i
$Param(0):=0;while($Param(1)<Count)dobegin inc($Param(2));end;

and when template inserted I type a (0) parameter as 'i' and at once
'i' appear on place of Param(1) and Param(2). So by typing one symbol
I have code:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i
i:=0;while(i<Count)dobegin inc(i);end;

I try this definition:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i
$Param(0):=0;while($Param(0)<Count)dobegin inc($Param(0));end;
and it works not as I expect.


P/s: also it'll be nice if Code templates can be accessed as a sub-
tree node of Editor in Options.

There are some templates that do that. e.g. trycf (try with create and
free)

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i
$param(variable) := $param(typename).Create;try  |finally 
$param(variable,sync=1).Free;end;
"sync=1" keep in sync

No limit for perfection). Is exists the way to change normal tab
order? If I create a template:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i $Param(i):=
0;while($Param(i,Sync=1)<$Param(Count))dobegin inc($Param(i,Sync=1));e
nd;
and after that type name of my counter - logically I don't need tab to
2nd $Param(i,Sync=1) , but want jump to $Param(Count). Is it can be
realized?

Not in the templates, and not per template. But globally yes (I think
/ not tested).

Basically the cells are "syncro edit".

Open Tools/Options go to Editor/Keymap, find the tree for "synron
editing"

Normally Tab is assigned to "Next Cell (all selected)", change that
and assign it to "Next Cell (all selected / first only)"

all selected = when the cell is activated its content is selected and
will be overwritten.
first = only go to cells, were a word had it's first occurrence when
syncro was activated.

I try to set setting as you describe, but in template above it has no
effect. But thank you anyway.

Also I have an idea, that I was realized for the Notepad++ in
PythonScript plugin - very useful. The main difference from current
realization is that token can be duplicated. When I write a token and
press Ctrl+Shift+Right token replace with his text. When I press
combination again - if no exists duplicated name of this token -
instead of inserted text again appear token(so it cyclic process) and
caret stay exact where it was before replacement; if exists duplicated
name - instead of just inserted text(of 1st token) now inserts text
respective to 2nd token.

Simple example:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i token  
texti           inti           integer
I type 'i' and press Ctrl+Shift+Right and see:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i int| press
Ctrl+Shift+Right again and see:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i integer|
press Ctrl+Shift+Right again and see:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i i|
if I'm press Ctrl+Shift+Left now I'll see:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i integer|
It's very-very useful thing. I develop it for HTML to not keep in mind
all HTML constructions while learning HTML, but it useful everywhere.

QuoteI try to set setting as you describe, but in template above it

in the keymap options go to "Template Editing" (just above syncro)

"rotate" means that pressing tab in the last cell would go back to the
firs cell, rather than ending the editing.

Not sure how that python example works, it takes content from another
cell into the current cell ? Or from the current to the next.

As in copy current cell, go to next, paste, go back to current?

You can solve this with an editor macro.

Also you can use code (ctrl space) and word (ctrl w) completion.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

No, "cells" in context of my Python realization just confusing
explanation. There I don't use cells, I mean simple "circular
replacement" while you don't see what you are expect. And the variants
of text, what appears every time you press Ctrl+Shift+Right can be
"assigned" to one token(in brackets - because it's definition with
duplication of token names).

>>You can solve this with an editor macro.

Yes, that's what I'm plan to do and that's why I create topic about
macros to read file - token definitions are comfortable to save
separately from macros code.

But then its much more than reading the word from a conf file.

You need to keep state, and ideally also know if the caret was moved.

In detail:

* A)

If you start with an "i", then you go to "integer", now your macro can
find the list, which contains "integer" and it can go to "int", but
now it must go back to "i". Where is that stored?

Macros have no memory between calls.

That also means that the list will need to be loaded each time (slow).

You would need to add some storage for this.
1) per editor, since several editors in different windows can all be
in different rotations at the same time.
2) global, to store the file you loaded.

* B)

Ideally but not 100% necessary you want to know if the caret was
moved.
If it was the current word surely should become permanent?

The caret movement callback I do not see happening in macros (not
anytime  soon).
The rest I am happy to answer question, and possibilities for
acceptable patches can be found.

However I think there is an easier route for you.

Write a SynEditPlugin.

You can write your own package. Use the API provided by IDEIntf.
If I am right it has a unit SourceEditorIntf, where you can register a
callback that tells you about each SynEdit created. And there you can
add your plugin to it. (No need to destroy, SynEdit can do that if it
is destroyed)

The plugin can register new commands for the keystrokes. And you can
get callbacks from SynEdit on caret moves.

You can write any code you want inside.

There are already a few plugins that can serve as sample. Just search
for the class name.

Quote... "integer" and it can go to "int", but now it must go back to
"i". Where is that stored?
In PythonScript plugin for Notepad++ it stored in a global
variables(defined in file startup.py) - where I was store also the
caret pos after replacement. But after your answer I understand, that
this will not working because of:

QuoteMacros have no memory between calls.
I read your suggest:

QuoteHowever I think there is an easier route for you.
...
But it'll takes time to analyze it step by step, and read more
thoughtfully and cross-code. Thank you.

Martin_fr: to avoid same question in future, I register on wiki and
add this macros to wiki as Example 3:

http://wiki.freepascal.org/index.php?title=IDE_Window:_Code_Templates&
action=submit#Example_3_-
_Macros_with_simultaneously_editable_parameters

----------------------------------------------------------------------
staratel20 · 2016-02-16 23:00

Martin_fr: at this time I don't see the Example 3 added by me. Why it
was cutted? It was bad idea? Or I have to ask someone to add something
to wiki and add only after?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
staratel20 · 2016-02-18 17:38

Someone can explain me what the rules to add something to wiki
correct?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Martin_fr · 2016-02-18 17:57

I dont see it being added or removed at all.
http://wiki.freepascal.org/index.php?title=IDE_Window:_Code_Templates&
action=history

So something must have gone wrong when you tried.

Anyone should be able to register and edit the wiki.
Rules are basic, so long as your content is related to the topic, and
not copyrighted by others, then it should be fine.

If you add something it should be visible immediately, so you can
check for success. And it will also be listed in the history.

If your text contains links, a captcha will be displayed, and must be
solved.

-- EDIT
with regards to adding links.
that is to other pages in the wiki, to the forum, or the bug tracker.
Other external links should not be added.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
staratel20 · 2016-02-18 19:24

A lot of thanks for detail explanation Martin. I check the history and
try again.
