<![CDATA[[New Plugin] SurroundSelection]]>This automatically surrounds the selection(s) in quotes/brackets/parenthesis/etc that you type. This can also be used on multiple or rectangular selections. This is a nice feature in SublimeText and wanted it in Notepad++. I threw this together quickly for my own use but figured others might find it of interest.

Note: This is still in early development. It has not been tested with non-US keyboard layouts. This uses a keyboard hook instead of normal N++ shortcuts. If anyone can check this out on a different layout I’d appreciate it.

With your new version 1.1 of your SurroundSelection.dll plugin, the equivalent keys, on my French keyboard, are, as below :

                            VK_OEM_4 key   =   FR Key   ° ) ]
For [......]   =>
                            VK_OEM_6 key   =   FR Key   ^ ¨



                    SHIFT + VK_OEM_4 key   =   FR Key   ° ) ]
For {......}   =>                           
                    SHIFT + VK_OEM_6 key   =   FR Key   ^ ¨



                    SHIFT + VK_9     key   =   FR Key   9 ç ^
For (......)   =>
                    SHIFT + VK_0     key   =   FR Key   0 à @



For '......'   =>           VK_OEM_7 key   =   FR Key   ²



For "......"   =>   SHIFT + VK_OEM_7 key   =   FR Key   ²

@dail, although I’m quite able to remember these five weird French keys, is there any way to adapt your plugin to “non-English” users ?

May be, I’m going to tell some technical impossibilities, but why not a simple .ini file, where these five keys could be defined ?

Anyway, @dail, many thanks for that very handy plugin, especially, when using rectangular selection !!

Cheers,

guy038

Thank you for accepting and implementing my requests. I appreciate it.
I’ll be looking forward to the next version. :)

Best regards.

An option to toggle the selection surrounding would be a nice addition.

This has been committed now so this will be in the next release.

Any reason only the opening characters surrounds the selection?

Honestly I just did it this way since this is what SublimeText does and was waiting to see if anyone would mention it ;) But I can definitely understand how this would be a bit confusing for RTL having to type the closing characters. So this has also been pushed and will be in the next release.

@chcg

I’ll probably still wait a little while to see if there are any bugs or improvements before putting it in the PM.

@guy038

Thanks for the testing and very detailed information!

@ anybody

As I don’t have any way of easily testing other types of layouts I would be glad to accept any Pull Requests adding support for other layouts ;)

I was quite eager to test your plugin, on my French configuration ! At first sight, it did not seem to work, on my N++ v7.3.3 configuration, with default plugins, except for the DSpellCheek.dll plugin !

But, as you spoke about testing our current layout, I began to test all the keys combinations, on my French keyboard…

I, finally, got the five equivalent keys, on a French keyboard :

For [......]   =>           VK_OEM_4 key   =   FR Key   ° ) ]

For {......}   =>   SHIFT + VK_OEM_4 key   

For (......)   =>   SHIFT + VK_9     key   =   FR Key   9 ç ^

For '......'   =>           VK_OEM_7 key   =   FR Key   ²

For "......"   =>   SHIFT + VK_OEM_7 key

@dail, to compare the US and FR keyboard layouts, just click on the two links, below :

http://ascii-table.com/keyboard.php/103P-1

http://ascii-table.com/keyboard.php/189

( BTW, I’ve never seen any French 251 keyboard layout !? )

Any keyboard, from a world list, can be seen, at :

http://ascii-table.com/keyboards.php

In addition, you’ll find, in the two next posts, two lists, of my own, which recapitulate :

  • Firstly, all VK_ codes, in hexa and decimal, of all keys of a standard American keyboard

  • Secondly, all VK_ codes, in hexa and decimal, of all keys of a standard French keyboard

I do hope that these lists may help you, somehow !

Best Regards,

guy038

I’ve wanted this functionality for quite a while now, I even “made” a python script to do this, only to later learn that I can’t get the keystrokes before the text is overridden… so it didn’t work. I thought to try my first plugin, but never got around to it… Now I don’t have to, thanks to you!

I tested it on my machine - plain ol’ English - but I tested it and it worked perfectly!

Regards,
David

Thank you for this nice and useful feature. I appreciate your prolific great work.

It works perfectly both with English and Hebrew keyboard layout.

Some suggestions/questions:

  1. An option to toggle the selection surrounding would be a nice addition.
  2. Any reason only the opening characters surrounds the selection?
  3. This is related to [2]: in RTL ( { [ are the closing characters.

Best regards.
