MoveText
Select text and move it around using the keyboard, or setup a text “tunnel” to move code from one location to another.
Installation
Using Package Control, install “MoveText” or clone this repo in your packages folder.
I recommended you add key bindings for the commands. I've included my preferred bindings below. Copy them to your key bindings file (⌘⇧,).
Commands
move_text_left
: Moves the selected text one character to the left
move_text_right
: Moves the selected text one character to the right
move_text_up
: Moves the selected text one line up
move_text_down
: Moves the selected text one line down
When moving text up and down, funny things happen when the destination line doesn't have enough preceding characters. An attempt is made to keep the text on the same column, but the mechanism for this uses sublime.View.command_history
, which doesn't update after every movement. It updates in between “Undo” events, so if you move the text in the opposite direction, or if you pause long enough for an “undo” to register, the text will move correctly. It looks like this:
1. one*dragme* 1. one 1. one 1. one
2. two 2. two*dragme* 2. two 2. two
3. 3. 3. *dragme* 3.
4. four 4. four 4. four 4. *dragme*four
But if you move the text up first, it will move correctly:
1. one 1. one*dragme* 1. one 1. one 1. one
2. two*dragme* 2. two 2. two*dragme* 2. two 2. two
3. 3. 3. 3. *dragme* 3.
4. four 4. four 4. four 4. four 4. fou*dragme*r
Key Bindings
Copy these to your user key bindings file.
