Project Status

This is a stable project with utilities being available on brackets code editor since 2016, however, since more editors have been supported, there is still work in progress to support the same extensions and policies across all code editors. Linux Mint Xed Editor has the smaller subset of extensions.

Demos - All Editors

  • IX: Cycle Case: Add a shortcut and cycle between different case modes in a breeze.

Cycle Case

  • IX: Indent One Space, IX: Outdent One Space: Insert or remove one space only at the start of every line regardless of indention mode.

Indent/Outdent

Demos - vsx and phoenix Editors

  • IX: Extract Text : Copy text patterns from a document to clipboard.

Extract Text

  • IX: Insert Text At Start: Insert text with macros at the start of every line.

Insert Text at Start

  • IX: Insert Text At End: Insert text with macros at the end of every line.

Insert Text at End

  • IX: Join Lines: Join text with macros.

Join Lines

  • IX: Break Line At: Splits each line in order to be no longer than Max number of Chars. The words aren't broken unless it's added / at the end the user input. (e.g. 40/).

Break Line At

Installation - Linux Mint Xed Editor, Pluma Code Editor and Gedit Code Editor

If you have previously installed xedtoix, you should uninstall first:

sudo apt uninstall xedtoix
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:a-bentofreire/editortoix
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install editortoix

If you are updating from Linux Mint Software installer, you might have to activate the plugins on: Menu Edit -> Preferences -> Plugins

If you install Xed, Pluma or Gedit later, you can add or remove the plugins with:

sudo editortoix

Interface - phoenix Editor

EditorToIX adds a top-menu called IX. To prevent from cluttering the menu with all the commands, only a few commands were added to the menu. Use Command mapper to add which ones you prefer, and setup the shortcuts. No default shortcuts were define to prevent collision with other plugins.

Selection Policies

vsx Editors

Every utility supports multiple cursors and multiple line selections. However, It differs in the way each utility category handles the selections. For every cursor, each line is process individually and the counter is increased per line.

  • Line Utilities:
    • If no text is selected then all the document text is used.
    • If part of the line is selected then all the line is used
  • Transform Text Utilities:
    • If no text is selected then all the document text is used.
  • Insert Text Utilities:
    • If no text is selected then the cursor is the insertion point.
    • If multiple lines are selected then is inserted at start/end of every line.

Phoenix Code

Most of the commands operate on selected text. If no text is selected, a command will use: word - The nearest word (before and after the cursor) sentence - The nearest text until a whitespace or newline line - The text line where the cursor is located. document - All the editor text function - A function determines the text to use. Ex: Quote functions will use all the text between quotes that surrounds the cursor.

Linux Mint Xed Editor

  • Document Plugins:
    • If no text is selected then all the document text is used.
    • If part of the line is selected then all the line is used
  • Word plugins:
    • If no text is selected then word surrounding cursor is used.

Expressions - vsx

Some of the utilities support expressions An expression is a text supporting the following metachars:

  • \n - newline

  • \t - tab

  • \c{start-value} - counter with optional start value

    • \c 0,1,2,...
    • \c{10} 10,11,12,...
    • \c{x00a} x00a,x00b,x00c,...
    • \c{XF} xF,x10,x11,...

  • \e{func} - transforms the selected text (line by line) function list:

    • upper - UpperCase
    • lower - LowerCase
    • length - Selected text length
    • capitalize
    • isodate
    • isotimedate
    • uuid

Replace Recipes - vsx

Replace Recipes must be added manually to the settings.json. This tool is still in beta phase.

Field Type Description
name string Recipe name
pattern string Find Expression (RegExp or String)
replaceWith string Replace Text
isRegExp boolean if false then pattern is a static string
isExpression boolean if false then result doesn't exec the expression engine
ignoreCase boolean if true and isRegExp uses ignore case option

ex:

"vsctoix.replaceRecipes": [
    {
      "name": "repl with let",
      "pattern": "\\b(var|const)\\b",
      "replaceWith": "let"
    },
    {
      "name": "Remove starting dash",
      "pattern": "^\\s*-",
      "replaceWith": ""
    },
  ],
