* MACROS.QM:  Miscellaneous short macros for use with QMAC or
*             in your keyboard definition file (QCONFIG.DAT).
*
* The exact behavior of some of these macros depends on the Insert
* and Indent modes. Also, some of them get weird if you try to use
* them on the last line of the file, because they try to cursor down
* out of the file, which they can't. QEdit 2 makes it easy to clean
* up after them, tho. :-)
*

* @c(opy) copies the char in the column above, then moves into the same
* column on the lower line. It's very handy for working with tables, moving
* columns of figures right, etc.
 
@c      MacroBegin GetPrev CursorLeft CursorDown

* @d(up) copies the "word" at the cursor to the line below. It's real
* handy for making sequential WriteLn(' commands, etc.

@d      MacroBegin MarkBlockBegin WordRight MarkBlockEnd WordLeft CursorDown CopyBlock UnmarkBlock

* @g(obble) deletes the char at the cursor and moves down a line, staying in
* the same column. It works real good for moving columns of figures left, etc.
* It fails when the cursor is past the end of the line--it gobbles up the
* end-of-line and joins the next line to the current one.

@g      MacroBegin DelCh CursorDown

* @h(elp) reads my QCONFIG.DAT file into QEdit for use as a help file. I
* prefer that to using QEdit's own help file capability, because I can
* use QEdit's great search command to find what I need help on, and if I
* wish I can reassign commands to different keys while I'm thinking
* about it. (Note that the use of * comments in your .DAT file lets you
* make it a complete help file.) A similar macro could be used to load
* any particular text file that you had frequent use for.

@h      MacroBegin EditFile "c:\qedit\qconfig.dat" Return

* @i(nsert) inserts spaces at the cursor, similar to the way @c acts.

@i      MacroBegin " " CursorLeft CursorDown

* @m(acro) loads a macro file named MACROS.MAC from the current directory.
* This lets me leave specialized macro files scattered around the disk,
* for the applications particular to each subdirectory, then load them without
* having to remember their names or type them it.

@m      MacroBegin MacroRead "macros.mac" Return

*  ^F2 reloads the current file from disk.  Hit this key, and no matter
*  the state of the editing buffer, the original copy of this file will
*  be reloaded into the editor.  DANGEROUS!
*

^f2  MacroBegin "*" ToggleInsert "*" ToggleInsert EditFile CurrentFilename Return NewFile "N" Return

*  Here's a safer version:  this one stops to let you answer the
*  "Save Changes?" prompt.  You will have to hit RETURN to confirm the
*  reload of the file after hitting this key, though.
*
^f3  MacroBegin EditFile CurrentFilename Return NewFile

*
* End of file
