[TxMt] Re: Changing the selection in a script/command

[Richard Drake]

That part works, thanks.

What seems to have changed from TM1 is that when $TM_SELECTED_TEXT is set
all of

$TM_LINE_NUMBER
$TM_LINE_INDEX
$TM_CURRENT_WORD
$TM_CURRENT_LINE

are blank. The first two at least I need. Is this a bug?
