Description (last modified by slyfox) (diff)

Let's create small file:

foo
bar
quux
baz

Let's mark 'oo' substring and thentry to insert TAB in between of 'uu'.
We expect something like this:

f<F3>oo</F3>
bar
qu<--------><cursor-pos/>ux
baz

But we get:

<-------->f<F3>oo</F3>
bar
qu<cursor-pos/>ux
baz

Tab is placed at marked line, not at cursor-pos.

its no bug, its - feature.
Tab - shift selected block to right.
Complete (alt-tab) - shift selected block to left.

Ok, then the bug is ill chosen hotkeys :]

  • Alt-Tab is usually used to switch windows in windows managers
  • Tab is usually used to place regular tab, it's very unintuitive behaviour.

What hotkeys do other editors use for that? For example visual studio?

Replying to slyfox:

  • Alt-Tab is usually used to switch windows in windows managers

you can use esc-tab or learn Shift-Tab as Alt-Tab.

i think best for you is option - tab_shift_block = 0

comment:6 Changed 15 years ago by slavazanko

If this will be option, you should have thought about the menu or hotkey to switch to this behavior

Ok, at least old behaviour is returned. my vote.

Good patch. Tabbing of selection may sense only with non-persistent selections.

With persistent selection this looks as bug :)

My vote here.
