Two really useful editor commands present in some editors are Swap lines. These exist in Eclipse and Emacs, and can be emulated with a little scripting in some others. They work like this:

Swap line up: The line containing the cursor is swapped with the line above. The cursor position is moved along, and thus remains in the same textual position as before.

Swap line down: The same, but the current line is swapped with the line below.

These commands are, when bound to suitable keys, very handy to e.g. reorder variable declarations or assignment blocks.

I don't think PhpED already has these, but I could have missed them. If so, please let me know where to find these commands so I can start using them right away Smile

Hi Sven, no PhpED doesn't have it yet. How about writing a script doing it and calling it from tools->integration Wink

Thanks for the awsome post on PhpED for windows forum!

Well, I would if I could, but that is something which unfortunately cannot be done without real scripting support. But here's a Python script for ActiveState Komodo that does this Wink

Swap line up

Code:

komodo.editor.beginUndoAction()
try:
if komodo.view: komodo.view.setFocus()
col = komodo.editor.getColumn(komodo.editor.currentPos)
line = komodo.editor.lineFromPosition(komodo.editor.currentPos)
komodo.editor.lineTranspose()
pos = komodo.editor.positionFromLine(line-1) + col
komodo.editor.setSel(pos, pos)
finally:
komodo.editor.endUndoAction()

Swap line down

Code:

komodo.editor.beginUndoAction()
try:
if komodo.view: komodo.view.setFocus()
col = komodo.editor.getColumn(komodo.editor.currentPos)
line = komodo.editor.lineFromPosition(komodo.editor.currentPos)
komodo.editor.lineDown()
komodo.editor.lineTranspose()
pos = komodo.editor.positionFromLine(line+1) + col
komodo.editor.setSel(pos, pos)
finally:
komodo.editor.endUndoAction()
