This is the modified macro I’m working with that covers things quite nicely:

Redraw = false;

xPos = document.selection.GetActivePointX(eePosLogical);
yPos = document.selection.GetActivePointY(eePosLogical);

nLines = document.GetLines();
str = document.GetLine(nLines);
if(str.length != 0) {
	document.selection.EndOfDocument();
    document.selection.NewLine();
    document.selection.SelectLine();
    document.selection.Delete();
}

bExtendSelection = false;
document.selection.SetActivePoint(eePosLogical, xPos, yPos, bExtendSelection);

I wasn’t clear enough with the example I showed – it should be:

for i in range(1, 10, 1):
~~~~print i
~~~~<----where the line starts

This indentation is perfectly natural if you are going to have additional commands in Python. But on saving the expectation should be:

for i in range(1, 10, 1):
~~~~print i
<----where the line starts

Answering your question – yes, I do have line numbers enabled.

Okay, okay…fair point :)

The error I picked up with your 0.02 was using the Python syntax (so with Auto Intent in place).

With the following command:

for i in range(1, 10, 1):
    print i  # line ends here

If I pressed enter again it would create a tabbed space. Using your macro – it too create a space in the last line then, so:

for i in range(1, 10, 1):
    print i
    ~~~~ # where the line starts

As mentioned – this was not the case with the previous 0.01 code.

I like the addition of keeping the cursor where it should be, however I tested your 0.02 version and it does not work with the Auto Indentation activated (unlike the previous one 0.01).

[Shavok]

I like! Thank you :)

[Shavok]

Great! This works very well (and looking at the code, can understand how it works).

The indent “problem” would only occur now and then and the main point of this auto-eof-line is a general good practice.

May I put this forward as a suggestion?

Thanks!

[Shavok]

Thanks for the reply!

So I’ve started on a macro but my coding on this is very weak…

The intention:

• Check if there’s a blank line at the end of the document
• If not, then make a new line

I’ve only got the last part nailed so far…

document.selection.EndOfDocument();
document.selection.NewLine();

Can you please assist on the “if” part?

[Shavok]

Thanks! This worked perfectly.

On closer inspection I see this actually opens up the cmd.exe process. So by introducing this “hack” we actually close the previous cmd.exe then?

Works quite nicely.

[Shavok]

Perfect! It’s now working as expected. Thanks!

[Shavok]

Ah, I see how you work it. So our selection is the actual space (hence the highlighted area).

While the behaviour is “as expected” – Multiple Select – of the spaces between words. Would it not be more intuitive to incorporate a Multiple Edit instead. The behaviour feels easier to work with as experienced with Sublime or Notepad++.

See how the multi-edit works here: http://notepad-plus-plus.org/features/multi-editing.html

Thanks for the help Stefan though – appreciate the quick assistance.

[Shavok]

I’ve found the solution – rather than getting too technical of having too many things in the “arguments” line, I used the following:
“/k autopep8 $(FilenameEx) “–in-place””

Works like a charm!

[Shavok]

Okay, I can see how to “properly” use this as it was intended. Actually I was looking for something along the lines of rather than selecting the full work the multiple select is more like a multiple placement of the carat instead. So if I had the following:

The quick brown cat jumps over the lazy dog

I could multiple select the cursor at the end of “cat” and “dog” and then simply type “s” resulting in:

The quick brown cats jumps over the lazy dogs

[Shavok]

Nice! A sneaky way to do it. Thank you :)
