CTRL+D Duplicate line or text

[ScottishBen]

I'm a big user of Topstyle and Notepad++, would it be possible to have a CTRL+D feature to duplicate the current line or the selected text?

Thanks.

Ben, how would this differ from CTRL-C (Copy) then CTRL-V (Paste)? Whle these aren't listed in the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog box, they seem to work normally.

It's just a nice quick feature, than rather reaching for the mouse > highlighting the line you want > pressing CTRL+C > moving to where you want the copy > pressing CTRL+V.

You press CTRL+D and it puts a copy on the line below for you. I use it quite a lot in Notepad++. Just a thought

Sounds like a job for a macro recorder, which would be a nice addition to the program.

I vote for CTRL+D to duplicate line

I too use ctrl-D in graphic editors, but not sure I see the advantage over ctrl-C/ctrl-V cut/past in a text editor.

After you use ctrl-D to duplicate the line(s) you still need to move and drop them where they are needed.

Guess it depends on whether your background is based on, text or graphic editors. ctrl-X/C/V have been used in text type editors sense before there were graphics editors. JMHO

I vote to add the duplacate line feature too. May be not Ctrl-D especially, but assingable with keyboard shortcuts. I'll assign it to Ctrl-D for myself. The line duplucation is the standard fo powerful text editors now and I use it often in other editors for my work, espesially in Notepad++ as the editor for everithing and Webuilder as pure HTML editor. TopStyle just for CSS. I can use Webuilder for CSS too, but prefer to use separated editors for HTML and CSS, have some usability reasons for this. And this as very simple feature.

Note that Ctrl+D duplicates a line in the editor in CSS HTML Validator.
