Re: [TxMt] R request: tab moves through list when cursor in collection

Thanks Hans,

...

So if the cursor is in item 1 like this

...

a = c(1|11,222)

Then hitting tab would move to highlight all of item 2.

To do so as you described is a bit complex but doable. A very naïve approach would be to use the attached two things:

EditVector.tmMacro (key bound to SHIFT+CTRL+V in scope source.r)

• which calls TM's Find function to select a given vector c(.*?) in

the current line

• and calls EditVector.tmCommand

EditVector.tmCommand:

• which splits the selection (delimiter := ',') into snippet items
• and replaces the selection with a snippet for all items within the

vector

Running the macro, I get an error

interpreter failed: Exec format error

I imagine it is in the Perl #!/usr/bin/perl -X $i=1; $sel= $ENV{'TM_SELECTED_TEXT'}; $sel=~s/^c {0,}( {0,}//;$sel=~s/ {0,})$//; for(split(/ *, */,$sel)) {push(@out, "${".$i++.":$_}")} print "c(".join(", ",@out).")${".$i."}";

Cheers, tim
