CodeMirror2: How to format a pasted content?
codemirror, javascript
Solution
Took me a little while to work this out, so in case it helps anyone, here's how I'm intercepting pastes and replacing each tab with 2 spaces:
editor.on("beforeChange", (cm, change) => {
if(change.origin === "paste") {
const newText = change.text.map(line => line.replace(/\t/g, " "));
change.update(null, null, newText);
}
});
Problem
Is it possible to format the inserted content after an event like "onPaste" in CodeMirror2? - I want to indent the content from the clipboard after pasting. I already know with JavaScript it's not possible to get access to the clipboard. So I think there is also no possiblity to create a context menu with cut/copy/paste functions? - Could I create my own JS-clipboard or is there an existing solution? Thanks! leX
