In "Rectangular Selection" mode, if you paste what you previously copied, new rows
are added with the copied content. This is the same than paste in normal selection
mode. In rectangular selection mode, paste should insert the copied content at the
cursor position into all following rows instead of inserting new rows. See example.
copied rows:
\*
\*
\*
Paste before:
text1
text2
text3
What command does now (normal paste):
\*
\*
\*text1
text2
text3
What command should do (rectangular paste):
\*text1
\*text2
\*text3

I found this thread while trying to figure out how to make jEdit rectangular paste work the way I expect. What I expect is for a rectangular paste to paste the rectangle I have copied to the clipboard at the cursor position, only inserting new lines if necessary to add lines to handle the pasted rectangle. If my cursor is in insert mode, existing text gets shifted right to make room for the pasted rectangle. If I my cursor is in replace mode, the pasted rectangle over writes any existing text. In any case, the pasted rectangle should remain a rectangle and not shift any of the pasted text to the left margin. |
