This is interesting, but to be honest it’s more learning than I personally want to take on for this use case.
One feature that I miss from code editors is “record actions”. The last time I remember having it was maybe in visual studio around the late 90s. It would record whatever you did (keystrokes/copy paste/find replace/etc). At that time, I found that I could often address use cases similar to those I think you are targeting by thoughtfully recording the right sequence of actions.
- jacobsenscott 4y ago"record actions" - most editors call these "macros". I would think most good programming editors support this. I've used vim and emacs and they both do.
- sixstringtheory 4y agoXcode does this but only for the last 10 or so queries. I wonder if that is somehow configurable in an undocumented user default…
- gushogg-blake 4y agoHave you tried Komodo Edit? It has Macros which is what I used to use for this kind of thing.
- gushogg-blake 4y agoCould you explain in more detail what makes it too much of a learning investment for you/what might improve it? It's always hard to see which bits are non intuitive when you've designed something.
