Editing text with Text Blaze

Feature Ideas
1

My first question: is it possible to use the 'del', 'home/end', 'page up/down' keys with Text Blaze?

I need to edit text pages using the snippets in the browser and, for this, I need to move the cursor over the words and lines.

For example: is there any way of erasing all the lines of a page except the first one? The way that I made this it's by moving the cursor using "leftarrow", "rightarrow" and "backspace", but it takes too much time to achieve the correct position, and erase character by character.

I have tried shortcuts how "ctrl+backspace", "ctrl+leftarrow", "ctrl+shift+leftarrow", but it didn't work.

Anyone have some idea how to do that?

You could make a macro

Hi @Renato_Ribeiro thanks for your request. Currently emulating those keys is not possible. I can move your request to Feature Ideas category if you prefer.

Hello, @jennifer_Schlief
Can you explain how can I do this?

5

I am almost positive you can use the AutoPilot Keypress to assign them

6

Do you have an example of how I could do this?

I have tried "ctrl+backspace", "ctrl+leftarrow", "ctrl+shift+leftarrow" using the snippets with Chrome extension, but didn't work.

So I did a little research as I prefer to offer several solutions when answering questions.

simply left, right, back...
{key:leftarrow} {key:rightarrow} {key:backspace}

you would most likely need to use cursor insertion points
{cursor} and delays {wait: delay=+2s} 2 changed to ur preferred delay. (A delay is sometimes necessary when trying to figure out what we are doing wrong, allows us to be able to watch easier.

Here are some other inserts you can play with. I am pretty sure I understand what it is you want to achieve, and I did make an attempt at my rendition, unfortunately I am not 100% clear on what that is exactly.
{key: shift+backspace}{key: leftarrow}{wait: delay=+2s}{key: rightarrow}{clipboard}
{key: ctrl-cmd-alt-shift-leftarrow} <-- This is not an actual snippet....lol I just happen to notate all the function keys I am aware of that can be used in conjunction with each other...
{key: backspace} {cursor} = this one is a marker to place cursor
You could always use that handy clipboard as well...
Going on YouTube I found this...

I am thinking this one is best...

You tube

If I am on the same page as you, and know exactly what you are trying to achieve, then I think the first option is exactly what you are looking for. This video shows 3 or 4 ways to enter this command and it is a little long, but worth a try.
Option 1: Quick Access Pop-Up allows for dynamic text replacement in snippets, making them more powerful

If that link doesn't work,

  1. go to youtube

Hello, @jennifer_Schlief.

Sorry for my late answer, I was trying to execute your sugestions.

This didn't work for me basically for a reason: I don't want to insert an edited text, but edit an inserted text.

I can do that by using "backspace" key, but it will take too much time to be done. So I need shortcuts or text blaze features to do that, since the mentioned shortcuts don't work :confused:

Hey, @Gaurang_Tandon.
Now, I think you can move this request to feature ideas.
Thank you.
