hi,
how to paste support rectangle paste on place instead new line

[atsuoishimoto]

I'm not sure what you mean "on place".

By default, alt+# key starts rectangular selection. You can copy or paste against selected rectangular. Is this what you need?

[lecheel]

for example I want copy the rectangular after rectangular position

[lecheel]

from:
abc foo aaaa
aaa foo aaaa
to:
abc (bar)foo aaaa
aaa (bar)foo aaaa

[atsuoishimoto]

Thank you for explanation.

1. Copy some lines
2. Move to position where you want to add text and start rectangular selection with alt+# key.
3. Hit down cursor to last row you want to add text.(You may notice that selection is not visible, but rectangular of zero width is selected).
4. Paste with ctrl+v.

With this way, lines of text in clipboard are inserted to middle of lines, without inserting new line characters.

Thanks Atsuo it works but a little bit complex better have a quick vpaste command :-)

I've create custom kaa.py for dummy test but no luck to works
another question how to invoke @commandid for edit.paste

from kaa.addon import *
from kaa.command import *
import kaa
kaa.cui.app.CuiApp.DEFAULT_MENU_MESSAGE = "Type F10 for menu"

@commandid('le.vpaste')
def vpaste(wnd):
        s = kaa.app.clipboard.get()
        if s:
            with wnd.document.undo_group():
                wnd.screen.selection.clear()
                wnd.screen.selection.set_rectangle_mark(wnd.cursor.pos)
                # TODO loop for clipboard line with N down()
                wnd.cursor.down()
                wnd.cursor.down()
                wnd.cursor.down()

                for i in range(wnd.get_command_repeat()):
                      wnd.document.mode.put_string(wnd, s)
                      wnd.screen.selection.clear()
@setup('kaa.filetype.default.defaultmode.DefaultMode')
def my_keybind(mode):
    # register command to the mode
    mode.add_command(vpaste)

[atsuoishimoto]

Wow, great job.

You can bind command to the key in your my_keybind() function as follows:

@setup('kaa.filetype.default.defaultmode.DefaultMode')
def my_keybind(mode):
    # register command to the mode
    _trace('my_keybind called')    # emit log to ~/.kaa/log/kaa.log
    mode.add_command(vpaste)
    mode.add_keybinds(keys={
        (ctrl, 'x'): 'le.vpaste'   # Assign C-x to 'le.vpaste'.
    })

[atsuoishimoto]

to execute edit.paste command, you can

@commandid('le.vpaste')
def vpaste(wnd):
    wnd.document.mode.on_commands(wnd, ['edit.paste'])
