Control-Shift-X

[Charles Dye]

Testing with the following command line:

echo %@lower[%_cwd]

With the cursor anywhere on %_CWD, Control-Shift-X expands the variable as expected, and leaves the cursor at the end of the command line. A second press of Control-Shift-X (in hopes of evaluating the function) erases the command line....

Using this command line:

echo %@left[5,The quick brown fox]

Putting the cursor anywhere on %@LEFT[ and pressing Control-Shift-X wipes the command line and displays an error message.

I think this hotkey works better with variables than with functions.

All Ctrl-Shift-X does here is print a box (unprintable). I do have "NormalKey=Ctrl-X". Does that also kill Ctrl-Shift-X?

 

[vefatica]

Having gotten rid of "NormalKey=Ctrl-X". With the insertion point on the 'w' of %_cwd in

echo %@lower[%_cwd]

Ctrl-X (no Shift) turns it into

echo v:\

expanding the function as well as the (internal) variable. That's nothing like the help's

Ctrl-X Expand an environment variable

As for Ctrl-Shift-X, it works as advertised when the insertion point is in %_cwd (unlike for Charles) and expands everything when its in @lower; I suppose that's correct. But as Charles observed, when it's in @lower in the command

echo %@lower[v:\]

it erases the command line and leaves

TCC: Syntax error "@lower[v"

That is what I'm seeing. Variables work as expected, functions not so much. (Parsing out the start and end of a function is much more complicated!)
