Select & Delete text feature about terminus

[randy3k]

Are you running cmd.exe?

I guess we just need to implement ctrl+home and ctrl+end.

7dd50b7 add ctrl+home and ctrl+end ultilities to remove text.

Are you running cmd.exe?

You mean in the posted video? Yeah, that one was recorded spawning cmd on top of conemu.

I've pulled master and tried the new shortcuts... mmm... how difficult would be to implement something like this?

[randy3k]

In theory, it is doable. The implementation won't be standard, so there are a few things that we need to address. What if the selected text is read-only? How conemu handles it? Does it only delete text in the current line?

Mmm, it seems conemu has 2 section modes:

1. When using shift+arrow_keys it seems internally conemu is detecting what's readonly and non-readonly
2. Selection mode is made with the mouse, in this case it seems Conemu wont' allow to delete any kind of text.

Here's a little demo... In any case, maybe terminus could do much better as SublimeText text management is much better than conemu's one. Guess the idea will be to figure out which parts of the view are editable and which ones are not. For instance:

• output dumped on the terminal generated by processes, commands executed have become readonly
• text written by users that hasn't been still executed is readonly

In fact, maybe it's a matter of knowing all the time what are these 2 regions, ie:

I guess if were able to track from the very beginning the intersection point to discard non-readonly content you'd be able to use the whole SublimeText power to manage/edit views really well... even using multiselection would become feasible... :)

Dunno, maybe just talking nonsense... in any case, you're the expert here so you'll know the best way to tackle this useful feature.

It looks more tricky than I originally thought. Your best bet for now is to use ctrl+arrow, ctrl+backspace, ctrl+delete and ctrl+home/end.
