Alternative block-fill macro
Submitted by on Saturday, 26 January, 2008 - 00:59
Hi,
the block-fill feature of TextTools Plugin doesn't insert more characters per line than fit into the selection's width (the text is cut).
A macro with a different behavior can be downloaded here.
These are the differences to the original function of TextTools Plugin:
1. No choice to overwrite or not the selection. Instead, the selected text is deleted and the new text or number is inserted with it's full length. When numbering, the longest inserted number defines the length of inserted text.
2. Improved performance on large selections because of:
- Removed support for multiple selections (what's the expected result else?)
- Removed support for tab handling (there should be no tabs ...)
