It's ready, but I wanted to ask: do you think that adding a mode to insert plain string a good idea? The vertical edit is good, but starts lagging after a few thousand lines, and UltraEdit/NPP have these functions combined IIRC.
Can you please go into more detail, as I'm not sure waht this 'mode' is special for.
Just an option to insert/replace the rectangle selection with a user-typed string instead of numbers. The result is the same as if you simply type the text in a rectangle selection, only faster for a large number of lines, and can be undone with a single undo.
Sounds nice, even I don't have any valid usage for at the moment ;)
This duplicates existing functionality, so I'm not sure about putting it in the plugin.
The only plugin I think this is duplicating some feature is the shiftcolumn one. As this is some complete different plugin, I don't mind to start a complete new one.
Thanks, Frank
BTW: For doing the undo stuff you could use sci_start_undo_action () and sci_end_undo_action() from plugin API.
