 Posted: Tue Nov 22, 2005 12:15 pm Post subject: ctrl-shift-delete OpenOffice2.0 Writter |
 |
|
Greetings all-
ctrl-shift-delete in 2.0 Writter seems to always delete 2 sentances, or 2 periods rather than one. When I am in the middle of a sentance, I hit ctrl-shift-delete and it deletes the current sentence and the previous one. I expected that it would just delete just the current one.
This problem is true in Windows XP, or Linux version 2.0.0-1.
I've Googled this and haven't seen much on it, so I'm guessing I'm just missing something. I tried to configure the shortcut keys (Tools-Customize), but to no avail.
Debian, stock 2.6.12 kernel, i686.
Thanks in advance for any help on this one. |

Using OOo 2.0 and Win XP, Ctrl+Del deletes everything from the cursor position to the end of a word. Ctrl+Shift+Del deletes everything from the cursor position to the end of a sentence.
It doesn't (or shouldn't) delete anything previous to the cursor.
Are you sure you haven't altered things in Customise?

OK, I'm changing my tune a little bit. ctrl-shift-delete does work properly. It is ctrl-shift-backspace that doesn't in accordance to my previous posting.
I'm sure I haven't messed anything up in Customize. There are full sentence delete events that you can trigger by of the keyboard. One delets everything to the right of the cursor (ctrl-shift-delete), which works fine. The other is supposed to delete everything to the left of the cursor (ctrl-shift-backspace). This second event displays the problematic behavior.

You're right. The Ctrl+Shift+Backspace key combination deletes more than it should. Time to do a bug search.

| This problem still occurs in OOo ver 2.0.2. Also, the Writer functions "To previous sentence" and "Select to previous sentence" both take the cursor to the beginning, not the end, of the previous sentence. If that was the intention, it seems strange. It makes problems for writing macros for manipulation of the current sentence eg to delete the sentence or set sentence case. In contrast, triple clicking faithfully selects the one sentence, but I am not aware of any underlying Writer function which will achieve the same thing. I would appreciate any suggestions on a simple macro command which will select the current sentence. Cheers, Pat. |

Since I have not seen any solution to this apparent bug, the following macro might be of use in Writer. It could be bound to the Ctrl+Shift+Backspace key combination.
Cheers, Pat.
| Code: | sub DeleteSentence
'msgbox "OOo bug recognising start of current sentence makes life difficult"
dim document, dispatcher, cursor As Object
dim seln, preseln as string
dim loops, endBitLen as integer
dim args1(1) as new com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue
args1(0).Name = "Count"
args1(0).Value = 1
args1(1).Name = "Select"
args1(1).Value = False
document = ThisComponent.CurrentController.Frame
dispatcher = createUnoService("com.sun.star.frame.DispatchHelper")
cursor = ThisComponent.currentcontroller.getViewCursor()
cursor.collapsetoStart() 'get into first sentence if there is a seln
dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:GoToNextSentence", "", 0, Array())
dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:WordLeftSel", "", 0, Array()) 'avoid last punct mark
seln=cursor.getString()
endBitLen=len(seln)
cursor.collapsetoStart() 'get into our sentence
dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:GotoPrevSentenceSel", "", 0, Array())
seln=cursor.getString() 'probably have >1 sentence due to bug
cursor.collapsetoEnd() 'not to start because of bug
if len(seln)<1 then 'seln too short. end doc? empty doc?
goto Finish
end if
do while loops<5 and len(seln)>0
if asc(seln)=32 then 'omit leading spaces
seln=mid(seln,2)
endif
if (instr(seln,"."))>0 then
seln=mid(seln,(instr(seln,".")+1)
endif
if (instr(seln,"?"))>0 then
seln=mid(seln,(instr(seln,"?")+1)
endif
if (instr(seln,"!"))>0 then
seln=mid(seln,(instr(seln,"!")+1)
endif
loops=loops+1
loop
cursor.goLeft(len(seln), False)
cursor.goRight(len(seln)+endBitLen, True)
' The whole sentence is now selected.
dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:Delete", "", 0, Array())
Finish:
end sub |
