jEdit Community - Resources for users of the jEdit Text Editor
"Persistent" Blocks
Submitted by Anonymous on Monday, 19 January, 2004 - 16:57
Hello. I am new to Jedit so if this is already implemented somewhere, I'd appreciate a pointer...

I am moving from an editor which allows one to start and end a block of selected text and then to move the cursor to the location where the selected text should be moved/copied WITHOUT having the selection disappear. In this manner, you do not have to (a) select, (b) copy/cut, (c) move to target location, and (d) paste. Instead you (a) select, (b) move to target, and (c) copy/move.

If there is any way to implement this using a plugin, I am willing to give it a shot. I just have no idea where/how to begin.

Thanks,

David

If you are using a mouse, you might be interested in the following option under

Global Options>jEdit>Mouse

Check the box "Quick Copy using middle mouse button"
it allows you to select some text and then paste it elsewhere with only a single click on the middle mouse button
