talmand / brackets-select-lines Goto Github PK

I think it would be better if you can also select a line with a normal click, and with a shift+click to select more lines

I installed and am writing in Jade.

It doesn't seem to be working so just checking to see if it only works for certain languages?

Thank you!

Hey, thanks for making this plugin! It was the first thing I installed when I started using brackets. I was getting annoyed though, because when highlighting lines the highlight would end and the end of the code (rather than grabbing the full line to the start of the next line). This made copy-pasting lines a pain, the formatting wouldn't behave like I expected coming from other editors. I made a minor change to the code which I think provides behavior consistent with other editors. Now it selects the 0 character at the first line AFTER the end of the selection, allowing for easy copy-pasting of full lines. Also I'm not very good at github, so I'll just leave the code here for you to include if you think it makes sense.

Thanks! Ben

    var lineSelecting = function (e) {
        var newLine = instance.lineAtHeight(e.pageY);
        newLine += 1;

        if (!event.ctrlKey) {
            instance.setSelection(
                {line: startLine, ch: 0}, //startLine < newLine ? 0 : null},
                {line: newLine, ch: 0} //startLine < newLine ? null : 0}
            );
        } else {
            instance.addSelection(
                {line: startLine, ch: 0}, //startLine < newLine ? 0 : null},
                {line: newLine, ch: 0} //startLine < newLine ? null : 0}
            );
        }
    };

When using brackets split screen feature you must first highlight the screen then select the line.
Mousing over the unfocused file's gutter selects text in focused file. For example: If I select the right file then drag my cursor on the left files gutter it selects text in the right file.

Have you tried onmouseup onmousedown?

By default, when the users's cursor is on a line, that line number is highlighted.

Default Brackets behavior (notice the white '30' line number

It would be nice if selecting the entire line (via this extension) also highlighted the line numbers that are selected.

Current extension behavior (notice the line numbers are not highlighted)

First, Thank you! this is great functionality!

Small issue, but annoying:
When you select a line number on the left, the window on the right might move over when you have a long code line, no wrap on, and vertical split.

See screen print for mark up. http://postimg.org/image/9qp9hd9n5/

It would be nice to not move the horizontal orientation of the screen. Just leave it flush left when you select a single or multiple lines.

Thank you again!
