I am trying to get the Visual Studio key bindings in Eclipse (4.3.2 but applies to others as well), for use in PyDev. (running under Ubuntu 12.04)
Following this question, I have installed the C++ dev kit and applied the Visual Studio key bindings theme, which works fine, but the key bindings which are most important to me as still missing.
The functionality that I miss so dearly and would like to reproduce, is the whole-line copy and paste which works as follows:
- With some text selected - normal copy & paste functionality
- With no text selected - copy = copy whole line on which the cursor is currently. Paste then pastes into a newly created line, i.e. it doesn't just jam it in as text, it creates a new line and neatly places your entire line there (above the line the cursor is on, I think)
- With no text selected, cut = cut the entire line. Again, paste neatly inserts the line.
Can anyone either suggest a package that provides this functionality, or alternatively explain how to configure the key bindings manually to achieve this, as I have had a look at the manual config and couldn't achieve what I was looking for.
Alternatively, an experienced user saying that Eclipse simply is not capable of replicating this functionality this would also at least put my mind at rest.
