selected last-inserted text

Is there an easy way to select the last inserted text?

For example, let's say I insert a block of text and then want to indent it; or replace it again; or whatever.

If not, how about adding a command to do this?

Thanks...

Hi,
it can be done fairly easily with pspad scripting (if WSH is activated and working), e.g. the following code can be copied to the script folder, and after "recompiling scripts" the menu item and shortcut should be available.

hth,

////// ...\PSPad\Script\JScript\my_scripts.js /////////
var module_name = "my_scripts";
var module_ver = "0.1";

function paste_and_select(){
if (editorsCount()<1){return;}
var actEd = newEditor();
actEd.assignActiveEditor();

var origCaretX = actEd.caretX();
var origCaretY = actEd.caretY();
runPSPadAction("aPaste");
actEd.setBlockBegin(origCaretX, origCaretY);
actEd.setBlockEnd(actEd.caretX(), actEd.caretY());
}

function Init(){
addMenuItem("paste and select", "", "paste_and_select", "Ctrl+Alt+Shift+V");// labels and shortcuts can be modified
}

Hi vbr, that is a clever approach. I tried it and it does work, so thanks for creating the script.

I'd still like to see better integrated with PSPad. There are times that an insertion is done by PSPad (for example, if you click on the color palette, PSPad will insert a color code) and I'd also like to be able to select that text that PSPad just inserted.
