I'm doing a lot of php-programming in Netbeans. It occurs like at least once a day that I write emtpy instead of empty (dunno why). Costs me each time at least 15s to test, see and find the mistake and correcting it (and I'm really annoyed each time).
Is there an option to automatically replace every emtpy with empty or at least highlighting it (like with big fat flashy arrows? :P)
Couldn't find anything of the sort with a quick search.
Thanks for any suggestion!
P.S.: I want it to be like in Word, when you type the first two characters in CApital it will auto replace it by only the first letter Capital. Please see comments as well, before replying.
No a real solution but maybe an improvement of your situation:
You could (mis)use a code template for that: Tools / Options / Editor / Code Templates. Select your language and create a new abbreviation (empyt) and as "expanded text" you use "empty". Make sure to set "Expand Template on" to "Space".
Drawback is, that it only works if you are pressing space after typing "empty" or "empyt".

In TeX-latex-mode under Emacs (26.1) using the reftex minor mode,
When pressing C-c (, the command reftex-label (found in reftex-mode-map, from reftex-ref.el) gives pretty good suggestions of label according to context for sections (with the default value of reftex-insert-label-flags).
When pressing C-c C-s, the command LaTeX-section (found in LaTeX-mode-map, defined in latex.el) offers to enter a label for the section, with no suggestion (other than a prefix based on the level of the section, which is useful but much less than the one based on the title section offered by reftex-label).
How can one configure LaTeX-section to make the same suggestions as reftex-label for sections?
The hook LaTeX-section-hook along with the variable LaTeX-section-label would seem the right candidate for that purpose, but the documentation states that
Some LaTeX packages (such as fancyref) look at the prefix to
generate some text around cross-references automatically. When using
those packages, you should not change this variable.
for one, I assume that reftex is one of such packages, and second, I was expecting to be able to give a function inside a hook, not a list of prefixes, I wonder if I misunderstood what a hook is?
I think that one would "just" need to get LaTeX-section to abstain from offering a label and to call the function reftex-label immediately after each LaTeX-section call, but if it is not LaTeX-section-hook, I do not know which one it could be?
Before starting programming something which could involve stuff as complicated as refactoring both latex.el and reftex-ref.el, I thought I would ask in case I was missing an easier solution!!!
I want to use the Search and Replace dialogue in Rubymine, or something similar to replace something like "Scenario:" with "#Desktop\nScenario"
I'm trying to replace every instance of Scenario: in a large Cucumber test suite with
#desktop
Scenario:
Any best ways to do this?
Update:
Thanks to #ryan2johnson9 comment, I realise there's now an easier option (tested on 2017.3).
By clicking on the "New Line" (or using the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+Enter / Alt+Enter), the input becomes multilines.
Original Answer
In the search and replace box, if you tick the "Regex" option you can do:
Search: "Scenario:"
Replace by: "#desktop\nScenario:"
The only trick is to tick the "Regex" option :)
Rubymine has macros (http://www.jetbrains.com/ruby/webhelp/binding-macros-with-keyboard-shortcuts.html) but I dont think they are powerful enough for this example.
It's possible that you could solve it with some elaborate feature hidden inside Rubymine, but I think it would be a lot easier to do this with a tool like perl/sed from the Terminal. If you are using Windows I assume you could search the net and find a text search/replace tool that fits your need.
In OSX I there are a bunch of Text Substitutions app too.
I would go that route since Rubymines macro tool isnt up to the task.
Here's a cheap and sleazy alternative:
Copy a newline character from between two empty lines in the file being edited. Temporarily add two empty lines if you don't have any.
Set up search/replace and enter the string you want to replace into the search text input box.
Paste the newline you just copied into the replacement text box plus whatever other text you want. You will be able to see the height of the replacement text input box grow vertically by one line due to the newline.
Perform the search/replace.
For this, the use of the Rubymine regex is optional.
I could use a dummy guide or directions how to add a custom quick fix or if it is even possible.
Let's say I select a text inside code - "foo foo". Now I want to add something before that text and something after. The content before and after remains the same across many files and it has to be done manually.
Is there a way I could write my own quick fix in eclipse, which would add this text automatically.
Ctrl + 1 -> "Add ... before and ... after" -> And get the desired output?
This seems somewhat useful if not the correct thing, but I can't exactly read out how to accomplish this: FAQ How do I implement Quick Fixes for my own language?
Any easier explanations and guides are appreciated. Or what other ways would I have to accomplish this desired behavior without typing/copying repetitive things
Edit: Found this little macro thing which is one way to solve my problem. start with cut, write, paste and end macro. But I'm not sure if this is the best way. Practically Macro
I suggest this solution that allow you to get the result using Eclipse search.
CTRL+H to do a search and choose Files Search
Fill Containing text with "foo foo". Tweak other parameters to get the files you want
Check Regular expression
Click on Replace
Fill With: <prefix>$0<suffix>. For example if you want to substitute "foo foo" with "this is a foo foo example" write this is $0 example
Check Regular expression (if unchecked).
Done. I think that this solution is quite flexible (as long as you are familiar with regexp to get desidered strings) and easy to apply.
I use the eclipse File Search option very much to search all files in my workspace for a certain content. But how do I specify that it should only return hits from a fixed search criteria? As an example I would like to find all occurrences of the string:
com.mystuff.data
but I also get all the hits for:
com.mystuff.data.ui
How do I make a "this-string-only-search" when searching files in my workspace??
If I understand you correctly, Eclipse don't provide option to search exact word.
You can use regular expression for it.
You can use \bSearchKeyword\b to find exact word.
I suggest that you use regular expressions.
Here are the steps:
Select the checkbox "Regular expression" which is located beside the "Containing text" field.
In the "Containing text" field write: com.mystuff.data\D\W
Note that:
\D means "no digit"
\W means "no alphanumeric"
In case you would like to refine the regular expression, click Ctrl-SPACE, in order to get the regular expression assistance.
Hope this helps.
Best regards
Maybe slightly off-topic but this got me tripped and brought me here - maybe useful for somebody else:
In the Eclipse standard Find/Replace dialogue the section 'Options' (that includes the option 'Whole Word') may be hidden if the Find/Replace dialogue window was previously resized to a smaller size, without any clue to its presence. Resizing it larger brings back the options section. See: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=355206
and attached shots.
Eclipse standard Find/Replace dialogue search for Whole Word regards several characters (including period) besides a space as a word delimiter, so you indeed cannot distinguish between "com.mystuff.data" and "com.mystuff.data.ui"
E.g. search 'Stack' with option 'Whole Word' checked:
will match:
Stack
Stack overflow
Stack.overflow
Stack,overflow
Stack[overflow]
Stack(overflow)
Stack-overflow
Stack/overflow
will not match:
Stackoverflow
Stack2overflow
Stack_overflow
Simplest way is to add space in the start and end of your search term.
Try SHFT+ CTRL+R, then on right upper angle select Working Set, then name and specify your resources.
Create Work Set as above, then CTRL+H check checkbox All occurency, then select your Work Set. Or maybe you can create work set in CTRL+H.
Do you know any easy way to find out what is the length of the current selection in Eclipse?
i.e. I select a line fragment and would like to know how many characters are there?
Usually, I count them manually, but that's stupid. When being desperate, I move to the start, check the column number, move to the end, check the column number, subtract, think a minute if I should add 1 or not... and my selection is lost.
On Windows, Notepad++ is a good solution. Open a new tab, copy and paste in there and the length of the document listed at the bottom of the window is the number of characters you have.
Easy way? Copy the text and paste it to a counting script, like this site:
http://charcount.com/
(Warning: the site's background may hurt your eyes.)
Eclipse does support a Selection object, if you're into its API:
