Auto copy

A long time ago I had a programmer-friendly editor which allowed to copy the text on a line to the following line character-by-character by positionning the cursor on the next line and using the Shift-Right arrow combination.

I recall this as having been extremely useful and wonder whether it could be added to textpad.

Check out the "duplicate line" macro available on the main textpad web site.

You can then assign "shift+right" to use that macro.

bgclarke, thanks for the tip, which started me off in the right direction..

I have neglected the macro capability of Textpad until now, but it did not take me long to actually create a macro which does what I was looking for, and with some google search I even managed to assign the key combination I want.

Works like a charm.
