Running some features in bookmarked lines or block of text?

Post by jruivo »

Anyone knows if it is/will be possible to run features like:

Spelling
Sort
Compare
Macros
Search/Replace
Change Case

only in bookmarked lines or

block of text?

TIA

There is a workaround for the bookmarked lines. Bookmark your lines, do a Search->Invert All Bookmarks and then Edit->Delete->Bookmarked Lines. Do your operation on the lines left. You can then copy the result and then undo to restore the file as needed. (I'm always doing this so I have the Invert, Delete as a macro with the keyboard shortcut Alt-D.)

A similar workaround could be created with a macro for the block of text.

Hope this helps.
Then I open up and see

"Change case" does work for a marked block.
