Add the same amount to every selected value?

Sounds right, although for sure don’t bother with the shortcut key thing right out of the box. That would only be useful if this whole thing actually works for you, and if you need to do it multiple times. Just run the script from the menus to start with.

I have never been accused of that particular moonlighting before…

@Diz-Hydron ,

That seems a reasonable summary of the process.

If nothing happens, I would tell PythonScript to show the console, and you can look to see if there is an error message.

Hello, @diz-hydron and All,

Well, @diz-hydron, I suppose you could begin with this very simple script, named diz.py

def player_1(m):
    return str(int(m.group(1)) + X1) + ', ' + str(int(m.group(2)) + Y1)

def player_2(m):
    return str(int(m.group(1)) + X2) + ', ' + str(int(m.group(2)) + Y2)

editor.rereplace('"player1": \[\K(-?[0-9]+), (-?[0-9]+)', player_1);

editor.rereplace('"player2": \[\K(-?[0-9]+), (-?[0-9]+)', player_2);

Before running the script, of course, change the X1, Y1, X2 and Y2 values for true positive or negative integers ( e.g. +7 or -3 )

It should work nicely with your text posted here

In a next step, it would be better to enter the different values with, for instance, the notepad.prompt python command and assign the 4 typed numbers to the X1, X1, X2 and Y2 variables…

Best Regards,
