{{selection}}: Show an error message if nothing is selected. #303
Originally posted by **Taitava** December 7, 2022
I tried to search for a discussion for this, but did not find. I thought I had written about this earlier, but maybe I don't remember correctly.
Currently, if `{{selection}}` is used while **nothing** is selected, this variable returns just an empty string. It might be ok for most situations, but I'd like to make `{{selection}}` able to utilize the default value system (started by #190 and will be improved by #298). If nothing is selected, user should be able to define their own selection value, e.g. `No selection`.
This change will mean that the default behavior of `{{selection}}` will change. **By default, it will show an error message and prevent shell command execution, if nothing is selected.** The error message should mention that this is new behavior for the variable, and that the old behavior (return an empty string and continue executing) can be restored by defining a global default value for `{{selection}}` in settings.
