You are right. I could do that without the mouse. However, the dialog is mouse oriented. I could get away with tabbing and key movement (for example, try to change the button focus from "Replace" to "Replace All".) Reducing keystrokes is why I filed this.
(In reply to comment #0) The quickest way to achieve that is to use block selection mode: - Toggle Block Selection (Alt+Shift+A) - Shift+<5*Down> - Ctrl+V - Alt+Shift+A (In reply to comment #3) > (In reply to comment #0) > The quickest way to achieve that is to use block selection mode: > - Toggle Block Selection (Alt+Shift+A) > - Shift+<5*Down> > - Ctrl+V > - Alt+Shift+A Thanks Markus that is already better. I am happy to make a little prototype. Could you point me to some interesting classes I could look at. For example, the one that does normal paste? |
