Feature requests

[masscode]

I love Pythonista, but please add these:

• A keyboard shortcut for Comment/Uncomment : “Command + /“
• Ability to copy text from Console

[stephen]

@masscode

if you open dropdown on console there is copy all text option or you can select and copy/paste directly.

for comment uncomment you can write scripts using Editor module to do this. there are many posts like this one to help you along this.

[stephen]

@masscode
for your second request.. place this in your library and add it to your keyboard scripts.

from editor import *


def main():
    text = get_text()
    selected_range = get_selection()
    selected_string = text[selected_range[0]:selected_range[1]]
    all_lines = text.splitlines()
    selected_line_range = get_line_selection()
    selected_lines = text[selected_line_range[0]:selected_line_range[1]].splitlines()
    
    
    comment = str('#')
    replacement = str('')
    nl = str('\n')
    for line in selected_lines:
        if line.strip().startswith(comment):
            replacement += line.replace(comment, str(''))
        else:
            replacement += comment + line
        if line != selected_lines[-1]:
            replacement += nl
            
    replace_text(selected_line_range[0], selected_line_range[1], replacement)
    set_selection(selected_line_range[0])
    

this will comment any selected line or if non selected it will comment the line the cursor is currently placed.

if a line in selection is already commented it will remove that comment #

#NOTE:
if this wont work because editor cannot be ran in appextensions then place it in editor actions

Is that Pythonista tools?

[stephen]

@cvp no i just whiped that one up real fast. didnt have time to search my repos for the tools one 😅

[cvp]

@stephen ok, sorry, it is what we called Pythonista tools in the past, due to its icon 🙄

[stephen]

@cvp lol i thought you were refering to the script in pythonista repo for comment/uncomment lol i appoligise lol

Copying text from Console work great.

About the other one, I think I’ve followed your instructions, but I don’t seem to be able to make it work.

I’ve created a file with the code you provided, and added a shortcut in the “Editor Action”.
In the script, it does not specify the key combination, so I would think I need to set it in the Shortcut, but I don’t see that. I see:

• Run script
• Arguments
• Reset environment
• Custom title
• Icon
• Icon colour

I would add screenshots, but I don’t see that option. How are you doing it?

@masscode

you can try using ⌘ + U to access Editor Actions but im not sure if you can set a script to a key. but when u open the "wrench" u can select the comment script to run it on ur current open script.

[masscode]

@stephen
I’m a little confused now.
I was hoping to have a feature where I can hit ⌘ + / to comment or uncomment the current line the cursor is on, or a block of lines if multiple lines are selected, very much like it is available in some IDEs.
The script seems to do that, but I cannot trigger it by a keyboard shortcut.
Is what you are suggesting, please a cursor on a line I want to comment, hit ⌘ + U, and touch the shortcut on the screen? (Image below)
In the ideal world, I would like to use the ⌘ + / keyboard shortcut without having to touch the screen since my hands are already there.

@masscode

so far all i can see is you have to use ObjC_utils to acomplish this. im only just getting into this area so im goingbto see what i can figure out butbchance is you might have to wait for one of the vetrans to pick this up. i havnt quit tho!

[masscode]

Got it! Thanks @stephen!

vetrans

I'm one but I don't have an external keyboard, thus no experience at all, sorry

[cvp]

@masscode I don't know anything and thus I can't help you but did you check Black Mamba

[masscode]

@cvp
I didn’t know about Black Mamba till now. I’m on it!

[masscode]

@cvp @stephen
I’ve just installed Black Mamba and the “toggle comments” works beautifully!!
Thanks guys!!

[stephen]
