Hi,
I like the behavior introduced with this patch but I'm not sure whether its ready for committing. Do you have some special reason why you are introducing this:
- sci_get_text_range(editor->sci, line_start, line_start + buf_len, sel);
- sel[buf_len] = '\0';
This is just copied from below in the same function. sel is a gchar array and therefore
sel = sci_get_contents_range(editor->sci, line_start, line_start + buf_len);
wouldn't work:
error: incompatible types when assigning to type ‘gchar[256]’ from type ‘gchar *’
It seems that C doesn't allow casting into an array type either. Changing sel to gchar* would mean updating the whole function, but I wouldn't want to undertake that as it's only my first patch to Geany. For the sake of consistency, I think it makes sense to keep sci_get_text_range for now. Similarily, appending '\0' happens below as well and it can't hurt in any case.
I see. Maybe we will need to change some more code in this context. l44 and l47 of your patch looks also a bit weird to me. I hope to find some more motivation to have a deeper look onto this upcoming days.
