Description

This article describes a new pasting behavior which is smarter than the regular paste-as-it-is behavior in terms of indentation. However the implementation will remain simple without using heavy Eiffel parser to reformat the text being pasted.

Behaviors

Number of tabulations before the cursor (NC) Number of leading tabulations of the text being pasted (NP)

Behavior 1: Multiple lines with leading tabs in pasting text

Copied text:

Behavior 1.1

Pasted at:

Behavior 1 1 pasted at.PNG

Result:

Behavior 1 1 result.PNG

Summury:

  • Removed tabs before the cursor.
  • The text pasted is indented by one tabulation (NC - NP)

Behavior 1.2

Pasted at:

Behavior 1 2 pasted at.PNG

Result:

Behavior 1 2 result.PNG

Summury:

  • Removed tabs before the cursor.
  • The text pasted is modified as (NC - NP) = 0

Behavior 1.3

Pasted at:

Behavior 1 3 pasted at.PNG

Result:

Behavior 1 3 result.PNG

Summury:

  • Nothing has been done to the pasted text, becaues NC = 0
