Drafts Directory: Expand template

Action

Posted by yvonnezed, Last update over 6 years ago

Designed to insert text and leave the cursor at the position indicated by ||

Don’t call this directly, create a script action defining a variable named template, and include this afterwards. E.g. const template =‘[||]’;

This will insert the brackets, leaving the cursor between them.

Steps

script

// Apply a template to selection, or insert the template if no selection, leaving the cursor indicated by ||

const sel = editor.getSelectedText();
const selRange = editor.getSelectedRange();
const [start, end]=template.split('||');

if (!sel || sel.length == 0) {
  editor.setSelectedText(start+end);
  editor.setSelectedRange(selRange[0]+start.length,0);
}
else {
  editor.setSelectedText(start+sel+end);
 editor.setSelectedRange(selRange[0]+selRange[1]+start.length+end.length,0);
}
