Hi, I lacking one great feature in the Eclipse and it's Extended Copy, Extended Cut and Extended Paste. I have inspired in the PHPEdit. I don't use PHPEdit, but I tried him. It works like this. When I click ctrl+c on some word, constant, variable, etc... so this part of text is Copied to the Clipboard without prior selection! of this text. As well as this is with cut(ctrl+x), but the text is Cut. Extended Paste isn't on the ctrl+v key, but on the ctrl+b or ctrl+shift+v and it works similar how works Extended Copy and Extended Cut, but the word or text under cursor is changed/substituted. This would be actually identical with the following procedure, doubleclick on the word(varialbe, const,...) or ctrl+shift+right-arrow(or left-arrow) and then ctrl+c and as well as for subtitute, thus ctrl+b. I remark that this behavior is in default configuration. I think, that this is great feature. Here are shortcuts how are set up in PHPEdit: http://img225.imageshack.us/my.php?image=extendecopycutpaste1tx9.jpg EXTENDED COPY: After ctrl+c is word under cursor selected and the cursor is moved to the end of this selection.(No matter where is the position of the cursor in the word): before copy(ctrl+c) is cursor after letter s on the picture: http://img239.imageshack.us/my.php?image=extendecopycutpaste2zg8.jpg after ctrl+c, is whole word under cursor selected and cursor is after the selection and selected part is in the clipboard: http://img523.imageshack.us/my.php?image=extendecopycutpaste6uy5.jpg EXTENDED CUT: After ctrl+x is word under cursor cuted: before cut is cursor after letter t on the picture: http://img236.imageshack.us/my.php?image=extendecopycutpaste3cw2.jpg after Extended Cut ctrl+x, is whole word in the clipboard: http://img401.imageshack.us/my.php?image=extendecopycutpaste5ph9.jpg EXTENDED PASTE: Before I have selected the word is_numeric(of course with extended selection ;) ): http://img231.imageshack.us/my.php?image=extendecopycutpaste7bb0.jpg Before "Extended Paste" is the cursor after the letter r in the command is_string($a): http://img231.imageshack.us/my.php?image=extendecopycutpaste8qr4.jpg After ctrl+b(or ctrl+shift+v) is the command is_string substituted/changed behind command is_numeric and important/crucial is that ($a) after command is unchanged and the cursor is after substituted/exchanged word: http://img231.imageshack.us/my.php?image=extendecopycutpaste9zt5.jpg This feature would greatly speed up the work. I think, that this feature should not be difficult to implement and I would be very happy, if this was done in new Eclipse ;) If You don't understand something, please ask me.
Is this something that text can already do? PW

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
