AutoReplace

[DoDo]

Please, can you add cursor positioning feature in AutoReplace like in Templates.
For eg. :

S*=Select t.* from [#] t
S*R=Select t.*, t.rowid from [#] t

Where [#] is cursor position after pressing TAB key.

Thx

isn't | the cursor position?
Or was that only for a plug in?

 

[DoDo]

Neither | or [#] works in AutoReplace.

You cannot use a cursor position in the replacement text, but you can use a template in 7.1.1. In the AutoReplace definition editor, type =, right click in the editor, and select a template from the list. The template can contain all template functionality, including the cursor position.

I'm still waiting for the fix release you told two weeks ago to use 100% AutoReplace/Templates combo

Marco,
What you suggested works (tried it before), but it takes to much time, so it's not practic! Still think either | or [#] is best solution!

See previous JEK's initial request.

 

[Marco Kalter]

The fix will come shortly.

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

 

[DoDo]

Seems to work! But I prefer [#] !

Great! I was waiting for this one! I'll have to wait 'till tonight, though, as we can't download exe here (I miss zip deployment).
Btw, I prefer '|' !

 

[JEK]

Works perfect! Thank you, Marco!!

hi,

from this thread, i gathered that adding a single "|" to a line in the autoreplace would allow you to position the cursor where desired. is this not the case?

or is this thread about putting a "|" in a template?

i hope its for autoreplace as i dont use templates.

thanks.

"i hope its for autoreplace as i dont use templates."

Sorry, but no, you'll have to use templates.
