SciTE has several weakness, a column block editing feature is one of them. I'm using Vim if I need this feature. Vim has many powerful editing features, so I'm using Vim as a second editor of SciTE with this simple lua script SciteEditWithVim.
scite_Command { 'Edit with Vim|EditWithVim|Alt+Shift+V', } function CurrentLine () return editor:LineFromPosition(editor.CurrentPos) + 1 end function EditWithVim () local gvim_exe = 'C:/"Program Files"/Vim/vim73/gvim.exe' local cur_file_path = props['FilePath'] local current_line = CurrentLine() os.execute("start " .. gvim_exe .. " " .. cur_file_path .. " +" .. current_line) end Thought and suggestion: Is it possible to catch the state of os.execute - and when this editing job in vim is done, scite will automatically open the file again (after vim is closed)?
