Virtual Space simulation

[Franz Steinhaeusler]

Hello,

I'm proud (blush :)) to announce my attempt to add virtual spaces.
this is, what I (personally) don't like from the first time,
that the cursor is restricted to line endings.
if you move up or down, it jumps every time, a line is shorter.
Also cursor right behavior, I don't like.

I nowhere found anything usable to bypass this, so
I tried to find a solution myself.

I integrated in the Keyboard Macros plugin the
"virtual space".
Best to try this on a testfile before.

If someone have a better solution (could be easily the case),
or would make that completly different, I would be interested
in change this.
(it was complicated enough :) and it's not perfect)

There were some problems.

Although, it is far away from perfect, I
updated the file.
(Added cursor left behavior and Home key; overwrote
OnModified)

This looks rather neat, but should it be its own plugin?
Otherwise people using keyboard macros will end up with  the experimental version if they upgrade.  Perhaps
virtualspaces-0.0.0?

With the new download bit, experimental versions need to be named differently, or they will be picked up as the latest version of the plugin.

Oops.  Brain fart.
Its on your site.  My bad.

Uh... Did I mention this looks really cool?

Cheers,
Dan

Oh thanks.

Unfortunatly, again and again, problems appear.

Maybe my approach is not so good, as I thought
at first.

I renamed it to VirtualSpaces.py for a better distinction,
though it is Keyboard macros.
