CodeLobster IDE

Hi there,

I have just switched to CodeLobster from Anansi and am pleased so far. The only feature I really miss is shortcut keys for common html tags.

e.g. CTRL+I for <INPUT TYPE="">
e.g. CTRL+B for <B></B>

Is this likely to get implemented? I see someone else asked about a year ago.

If you wanted to make this available without having to code all the tags, you could instead set up a simple macro system activated by hot keys, and users could configure it themselves for the things they use most often.

Users could specify:
(1) text to go before the cursor position or selected text block e.g <B>
(2) text to go after the cursor position or selected text block e.g. </B>
(3) where to leave the cursor afterwards:
........(i) before the "before text" e.g. |<B>text</B>
........(ii) after the "before text" e.g. <B>|text</B>
........(iii) before the "after text" e.g. <B>text|</B>
........(iv) after the "after text" e.g. <B>text</B>|
(4) shortcut key to activate macro e.g. CTRL+B

If you made the macro file exportable then users could share their macros.

Just a thought!

Hi.

1) Many thanks for your suggestion. We will add ability to assign shortcuts into our next version.

2) Unfortunately we are not going to add macroses soon. But, of course, we will do it later.

Oh yes, I hope it will be realized sooner.. =)
It will really be of great help..

Thanks bat400 for suggestion, really helpful features.
Hope they will get implemented soon...
