Project Status

This is a stable project with utilities being available on brackets code editor since 2016, however, since more editors have been supported, there is still work in progress to support the same extensions and policies across all code editors. Linux Mint Xed Editor has the smaller subset of extensions.

Demos - All Editors

IX: Cycle Case: Add a shortcut and cycle between different case modes in a breeze.

Cycle Case

IX: Indent One Space, IX: Outdent One Space: Insert or remove one space only at the start of every line regardless of indention mode.

Indent/Outdent

Demos - vsx and phoenix Editors

IX: Extract Text : Copy text patterns from a document to clipboard.

Extract Text

IX: Insert Text At Start: Insert text with macros at the start of every line.

Insert Text at Start

IX: Insert Text At End: Insert text with macros at the end of every line.

Insert Text at End

IX: Join Lines: Join text with macros.

Join Lines

IX: Break Line At: Splits each line in order to be no longer than Max number of Chars. The words aren't broken unless it's added / at the end the user input. (e.g. 40/).

Break Line At

Installation - Linux Mint Xed Editor

If you have previously installed xedtoix, you should uninstall first:

sudo apt uninstall xedtoix

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:a-bentofreire/editortoix
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install editortoix

If you are updating from Linux Mint Software installer, you might have to activate the plugins on:
Menu Edit -> Preferences -> Plugins

Interface - phoenix Editor

EditorToIX adds a top-menu called IX. To prevent from cluttering the menu with all the commands, only a few commands were added to the menu.
Use Command mapper to add which ones you prefer, and setup the shortcuts.
No default shortcuts were define to prevent collision with other plugins.

Selection Policies

vsx Editors

Every utility supports multiple cursors and multiple line selections.
However, It differs in the way each utility category handles the selections.
For every cursor, each line is process individually and the counter is increased per line.

Line Utilities:
- If no text is selected then all the document text is used.
- If part of the line is selected then all the line is used
Transform Text Utilities:
- If no text is selected then all the document text is used.
Insert Text Utilities:
- If no text is selected then the cursor is the insertion point.
- If multiple lines are selected then is inserted at start/end of every line.

Phoenix Code

Most of the commands operate on selected text. If no text is selected, a command will use: word - The nearest word (before and after the cursor) sentence - The nearest text until a whitespace or newline line - The text line where the cursor is located. document - All the editor text function - A function determines the text to use. Ex: Quote functions will use all the text between quotes that surrounds the cursor.

Linux Mint Xed Editor

Document Plugins:
- If no text is selected then all the document text is used.
- If part of the line is selected then all the line is used
Word plugins:
- If no text is selected then word surrounding cursor is used.

Expressions - vsx

Some of the utilities support expressions
An expression is a text supporting the following metachars:

\n - newline
\t - tab
\c{start-value} - counter with optional start value
- \c 0,1,2,...
- \c{10} 10,11,12,...
- \c{x00a} x00a,x00b,x00c,...
- \c{XF} xF,x10,x11,...
\e{func} - transforms the selected text (line by line)
function list:
- upper - UpperCase
- lower - LowerCase
- length - Selected text length
- capitalize
- isodate
- isotimedate
- uuid

Replace Recipes - vsx

Replace Recipes must be added manually to the settings.json.
This tool is still in beta phase.

Field	Type	Description
name	string	Recipe name
pattern	string	Find Expression (RegExp or String)
replaceWith	string	Replace Text
isRegExp	boolean	if `false` then pattern is a static string
isExpression	boolean	if `false` then result doesn't exec the expression engine
ignoreCase	boolean	if `true` and `isRegExp` uses `ignore case` option

ex:

"vsctoix.replaceRecipes": [
    {
      "name": "repl with let",
      "pattern": "\\b(var|const)\\b",
      "replaceWith": "let"
    },
    {
      "name": "Remove starting dash",
      "pattern": "^\\s*-",
      "replaceWith": ""
    },
  ],
