skill IDE bind key to run code in selection

Hi,

I am trying to create a bindkey for skill IDE that will enable me to select part of the code in the IDE window and execute it. (similar to load , but only for the selected portion.)

(similar to Jupiter-NB Ctrl-Shift-Enter :) )

I did something like this:

hiSetBindKey("SkillIDE" "Shift Ctrl<Key>R"
"
active_tab=hiGetActiveTabWindow(ilGetIdeSessionWindow())
_ilgGetFromActiveTab('copy)
_ilgFileNew()
_ilgGetFromActiveTab('paste)
_ilgFileLoad()
_ilgSetFocus(active_tab)
hiRaiseWindow(active_tab t)
"
)

It works but I face 2 issues:

1. I am not able to jump back the original tab (the hiRiseWindow - does not work).

2. and I was not able to find a way to close the temporal created new tab. I dried to close it, but then it asks for confirmation, and I was not able to pass to it the discard directive.

Any idea how to fix it?

Or - is there a better way to achieve it?

Thanks,

Zelig.

Hi,

The following solution should work nicely :

(when (ilgGetSelectedLocation) (evalstring (pcreReplace (pcreCompile "\n") (destructuringBind (beg end) (ilgGetSelectedLocation) (ilgGetText beg end)) " " 0)))

Cheers

Thanks Aurélien - that's a much better approach since it use public functions; the approach that Zelig was taking is full of private functions and these are a) not intended for custom SKILL code, plus b) may change or be removed unexpectedly in the future.
