AutoReplace enhancements

[JEK]

This topic was popular on Beta forum, so I bring it to here...

Since textType plugin still broken on 7.1 final, I have to use this new feature, but I have some enhancements and complains about it:
- Possibility to use | to position the cursor after replacement;
- Multiple lines support;
- Don't add an additional space (or any key that actives the replacement) after replacement;

Thanks!

I have added this to the list of enhancement requests.

Templates support in AutoReplace was a great ideia!! Congratulations!

Just my last request remains, about additional space after replacement: with Templates, it inserts an additional space before the code!
Is there a chance to release a bugfix version solving this annoyance soon? Thanks!

 

[Marco Kalter]

Sure, I will upload a fix shortly.

It looks really cool, thank you Marco.

As others have pointed, template seems to be inserted at the position where I press tab, instead of the first column of "triggering" text.

Also, it would be nice if we can define template parameters in autoreplace dialog, so it wont ask for them, e.g. for exception block template
exndf=Error handling\Exception block.tpl no_data_found

You can now download a fix for the AutoReplace template issue. Let me know if this works for you.
