Hallo!
Notepad++ is perhaps the nearest editor to something useful without having to program. I am a writer and not a programmer.
I need to be able to do the following.
1. Surround mouse marked words or phrases with brackets
2. Create a simple set of bracket pairs with inset brackets such as:
2.1. [..... ], (..... ), {.....}
2.2. [ ..... ( ), {}]
I am sure that there is a simple way to do this and would like to hear from someone who knows how it can be done.
Thanks for 'listening' and for any help .
Have a nice day.
Kind regards, forkingbr.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
1). Select words or word to enclose in brackets
2). select macro/start recording
3). press "<ctl>x" to cut marked text
4). enter starting bracket e.g. {
5). press "<ctl>v" to paste test back into document, cursor will be positioned at the end of the block.
6). enter ending bracket e.g. }
7). select macro/stop recording
8). select macro/save current recorded macro
9). give it a name & a shortcut key
enjoy :-)

Hi, try this way of using a macro.
1). Select words or word to enclose in brackets
2). select macro/start recording
3). press "<ctl>x" to cut marked text
4). enter starting bracket e.g. {
5). press "<ctl>v" to paste test back into document, cursor will be positioned at the end of the block.
6). enter ending bracket e.g. }
7). select macro/stop recording
8). select macro/save current recorded macro
9). give it a name & a shortcut key
enjoy :-)
