Short: Better editing features in string gadgets Author: thor@einstein.math.tu-berlin.de (Thomas Richter) Uploader: thor@einstein.math.tu-berlin.de Type: util/sys This utility patches the intuition SGHook-entry, resulting in better editing features within string gadgets. The following key sequences are new for these gadgets: ALT+Cursor keys: Move to start of next/preceeding word ALT+Del: Clear the gadget completely Shift+Del: Clear the gadget completely ALT+Backspace: Erase the word under the cursor Shift+Cursor keys: Move cursor to start/end of the line Ctrl+Cursor keys: Move cursor to start/end of the line Shift+ALT+Del: Erase text behind the cursor Shift+ALT+BS: Erase text before the cursor position Amiga-X: Cut the contents of the gadget to the clipboard Amiga-C: Copy the contents to the clipboard Amiga-V: Insert the clipboard contents into the gadget Aniga-Q: Undo-operation Commodore-key: Turn off the extended editing features temporary Thus, the string gadgets get the same editing features like the ViNCEd console. (This file is actually a part of the ViNCEd distribution. See util/shell/ViNCEd.lha for the complete archive). Installation: Copy to your C: drawer. StringSnip install To install the extended editing features StringSnip remove To remove it again. _____________________________________________________________________________ The THOR-Software Licence This License applies to the computer programs known as "BenchTrash".
