I use it for a Geany Custom Command, to set it up from the Geany IDE:
Choose: -> Edit -> Format -> Send Selection To -> Set Custom Commands -> Add
Then put the full path of this script for the Command and provide a Label: Parenthesize.
If it is the first command it will automatically have the keybinding of Control+1, so now
whenever you select any block of text you can simply hit Control+1 and the selected text will be automatically parenthesized for you.
#!/usr/bin/env bash
declare INPUT_TXT=""
declare ADD_LF="\n"
declare -i DONE=0
while read PIPED_INPUT || { DONE=1; ADD_LF=""; }; do
INPUT_TXT="${INPUT_TXT}${PIPED_INPUT}${ADD_LF}"
((${DONE})) && break;
done
echo -en "(${INPUT_TXT})"
Thank you! I am using geany for writing documents in latex. I found your script was easily adapted to, e.g., enclose the selected text in the latex section command:
ReplyDelete\section{Selected Text}
Geany does this automatically for format commands but has no provision for sectioning.
