FAR3: Simple LUA macros by me

Post by cyberwolf »

Here are a few LUA macros i use, they might be useful to others (I'll add more if i manage to make any other :) )

1. This macro will start the search dialog and paste the current selection into it.
Note : if there's no selection then the current row is selected and pasted


2. I have a lot of folders that start with "!" or "~" (they are named like that so they are at the start of the list of folders when sorted by name).
The problem is that Alt+Shift+` doesn't always start the "file search" dialog. This macro fixes that.


Edit: fixed name of 2nd script (i should probably pay more attention when copy/pasting code :facepalm: )
Edit2: removed the unnecessary return from the first script

DisableOutput flag is obsolette. It is default. If you need use opposite EnableOutput flag.

Thank you for sharing these.
Can you please correct the second spoiler name as it's the same as the first one.

editor.searchforselectedtext
There is no need to return value from function action.

I am unable to reproduce your problem

I thought i had to, i don't know where i got the idea that it needs to (i might have taken the idea from the condition function). I'll edit the first post and remove the return from it.

The problem with the "~" character is something related to the computer (or maybe the OS) not FAR. I work on 3 computers and on 2 of them if i press the ` or " button it doesn't show the character immediately, i need to press it again or press space. It's probably related to the localization since if i press the ' and then a i get the á character (same for " followed by a will be transformed into ä). On the 3rd computer (my home computer) this problem doesn't exist, i made the macro to overcome this problem on my work computers.

P.S. sorry for the many errors, i'm still a beginner at LUA and FAR scripting so i'm probably making some other mistakes too :)
