Predefined variable for the mouse pointer

[win]

I suggest that QM can contain a predefined variable of the mouse pointer, for example: _cursor , this function is very useful in automatic text, autohotkey has this function

In the following example, if I use this variable, after the character is entered, the mouse cursor jumps to the position of the variable.

In QM2, how to use code to achieve? thanks

Autotext Autotext1
Trigger $t     

Code:

Copy      Help

/b/i/c/m

text :key F"hello {_cursor}, thank you!"

[win]

How to achieve the following functions, Please see the picture below

The name after %input_****% will appear in the input dialog box in order，and finally, it will be filled in automatically.

The mouse cursor will eventually stop at the variable %Cursor%

These features are very useful.

thank you very much

[win]

If QM, can achieve the same function through the following code, it would be great.
This feature greatly improves the efficiency of inputting AutoText

Function AutoInputDialog

Code:

Copy      Help

;/
function'str $template [int&nLeft]

;Shows an auto-created dialog containing Edit and ComboBox controls specified in template text like $inp_Label$.
;Returns template text where these substrings are replaced with user input.
;Also can contain variables like $var_Name$ that are replaced by your callback function.

;REMARKS
;Special substrings:
;$inp_Label$ - creates an Edit control and static text Label.
;$sel_Label$ - creates a ComboBox control and static text Label. To get ComboBox items, calls your function named AID_sel. See examples there.
;$var_Name$ - calls your function named AID_var. See examples there.
;$set_CaretHere$ - removes and sets nLeft = the number of Left keys to move the caret (text cursor) here.

;On Cancel ends this thread.

;Example - code in function KeyAutoInputDialog.
;In scripts you'll probably use KeyAutoInputDialog, not this function. Use this function only to create functions similar to KeyAutoInputDialog, for example to use paste instead of key.

I updated the code.
Now supports ComboBox controls and callback functions for replacing variables and getting ComboBox items.
With ListBox would need more work. Need to calculate height.

[win]

I have encountered two interesting questions.

I am using AutoText3 to add items to AID_sel

1. How to perform internal escaping of statements

2. How to keep the original TAB indentation （Excess tab indentation will also cause variable ($set_CaretHere$) errors）

Please see the GIF image below

to make that work do this

Code:

Copy      Help

#sub Sub2 m
_s=
;,case "$inp_Name$"
;s="$inp_item1$[]$inp_item2$[]$inp_item3$"
KeyAutoInputDialog(_s)

then fill out form like so

   

[win]

I changed s to c and changed it back later. 

#sub Sub2 m
_s=
F
     case "$cel_$inp_Name$$
     s="$inp_item1$[]$inp_item2$[]$inp_item3$"
KeyAutoInputDialog(_s)

[Kevin]

easier to do my way. No need to change later or fix indentation

---

also the F parameter is not needed at all in your sub function

[win]

thanks,

Can really solve the indentation problem,

it is a bit inconvenient , I think there may be a better way 

[Kevin]

the indentation problem has been explained to you before. The KeyAutoInputDialog use key to place the text so a new line will create extra indentation

[win]

I think that the above Functions and  (Add AutoText dialog) can create countless possibilities.

[Kevin]

sorry posted wrong code

here is correct code will work without having to worry about indentation issues
 

Code:

Copy      Help

#sub Sub2 m
_s=
;,case "$inp_Name$"
;,s="$inp_item1$[]$inp_item2$[]$inp_item3$"
str s=AutoInputDialog(_s)
paste s

[win]

thanks, In the add autotext dialog I understand the wrong,

the above code can really solve the indentation problem.  Can you add this code to the add autotext dialog?

Now there is only a problem of escaping.

[Kevin]

the above code is not for everything.If you want to place the cursor the above code will not work

[win]

I think it is possible to add a judgment condition to the function body. If a new line is created, the tab is deleted first.

I have found this problem only in the QM editor, there is no problem in Notepad.

---

I very much hope that the indentation and escaping problems can be solved elegantly and thoroughly.

This will solve many headaches. 

[Gintaras]

If a code editor auto-indents code and you want to avoid it, use paste, not key.

Function PasteAutoInputDialog

Code:

Copy      Help

;/
function $template

;Calls <help>AutoInputDialog</help> and pastes the text. Also sets caret if need.

;EXAMPLE
;_s=
;F
;;Dear Mr. $inp_Customer$,
;;
;;thank you for contacting us. The price is $$inp_Price$. Let's meet next $inp_Day$.
;;
;;Thanks and best regards,
;;$set_CaretHere$
;;
;;$var_ShortDate$
;;
;PasteAutoInputDialog(_s)


int nLeft
str s=AutoInputDialog(template nLeft)
spe 10
paste s
if(nLeft) key L(#nLeft)

Other option - before key insert opt keychar 1. Then some code editors, including QM, will not auto-indent when previous line is tab-indented. But still will auto-indent after lines such as 'if', 'sel', 'rep'. Better paste.

[win]

Thanks for your help, tab indentation has been resolved

I just discovered a new feature, which is another feature that creates unlimited possibilities. It can also solve the problem of escaping indirectly. 

Can I run macros inside QM AutoText? Please see the animated GIF below

If this is possible, I will execute the macro c2s after the AutoText, replacing $cel with $sel

Cannot call AID_sel while editing in AID_sel. Unless you edit after #ret line.

Thanks for your reminder, I first type var in other macros, then return to AID_sel, the input is successful. 


In the code below, I use AutoText to insert the path for a file or folder in Notepad,

but the Browse Folder dialog is always not at the top,  Causes the acquired path to not be returned to the insertion point

The browse file dialog is always at the top level,  insertion path Is successful

As more and more items in AutoText, I need to manage them,

I need a function to implement it. Below is the schematic. When I press alt+spacebar, it will be displayed. It has no title bar.

This feature can be used under all programs, it can even manage all macros indirectly

My current level of programming is still not reaching the goal. It contains a lot of programming skills that I have never touched before, for example, displaying search results instantly when entering keywords

Although there are a lot of software that can do this, I really want to know how to implement it using QM code. Can you provide an example? thank you very much

Thank you for your help, I still can't finish this function, some details don't understand

This function is very useful for managing:  macros, or Autotext, and items in Autotext. If developer can add this function to the basic functions of QM, it would be great. 

detailed description :

1. Press the alt+space hotkey first, the search menu will pop up.

2. Then enter the keyword and the search results will be displayed in real time.

3. If the abbreviations is repeatedly defined, the list is displayed and can be selected.

Because I can add the recorded code or macro code to the sub-process of AutoText item, so I think the above functions are much more convenient than creating toolbars, shortcuts, Hotkey, triggers, etc.

It doesn't need to remember what the hotkeys are, nor does it have to do too many settings like creating a toolbar or Set a trigger. Just press alt+spacebar when you need it, then search(Can see the description of the acronym) and click or enter.

Please see the animated GIF below
