[TxMt] Getting one character from the keyboard for use in Commands

[Chris Insinger]

Hi Dr. Drang,

Thanks, I hadn't considered using a Snippet for this.

(Ignoring some edge cases that you already mentioned), it seems to  
work for normal selections, but unfortunately not for column selections.

I'm not sure how much room there is in an external program/Command to  
do anything about this, but if you have some suggestions for making  
it work with column selections I'd appreciate hearing them.

Strangely enough replacing each non-CR/LF character with a single  
character like 'x' works for column selections, but replacing with  
"$1" doesn't - that is, it seems to insert unwanted line breaks when  
doing this.

Thanks,

Chris
