Fixed bug that would replace selected line(s) with “undefined” if selected lines were not indented.

Removes a tab the beginning of each of the selected lines.

If it is a list (starts with a tab followed by a “-“, “*”, or “+” followed by a space), it will outdent and move the cursor to the end of the line.

Install

Steps

script

// list patterns
const list_re = /^\t/gm;

// grab state
let [lnStart, lnLen] = editor.getSelectedLineRange();
let lnText = editor.getTextInRange(lnStart, lnLen);
let [selStart, selLen] = editor.getSelectedRange();

let outdent_lines = (l) => {
    let lines;
    if (l.match(list_re)) {
        lines = l.replace(list_re, "");
    } else {
        lines = l;  // return the original string if no tab at the beginning
    }
    return lines;
}

let detabbed_text = outdent_lines(lnText);
editor.setTextInRange(lnStart, lnLen, detabbed_text);
editor.setSelectedRange(selStart + selLen -1, 0);
