 Posted: Sun Aug 24, 2008 10:22 pm Post subject: Manual block tabbing / detabbing |
 |
|
This is a little something whipped up because I don't use a fancy editor that has built-in auto indenting and whatnot. Basically, what this script does is while the [`] button is held down, the [tab] and [esc] keys become hotkeys that add / remove indentation from the selected block of text. Doing so does not deselect the text, so you can spam it pretty easily. Releasing the [`] key will spit out a normal backtick otherwise.
It also converts alternate indentations (like the triple space from these forums) into tabs (configurable).
Tested in notepad. Comments welcome.
