struct modify: you can't do this!
I found something again that cannot be done:
take this code:
btnStart = new JButton("start");
toolbar.add(btnStart);
btnStart.addActionListener(driveThread);
btnEnd = new JButton("end");
toolbar.add(btnEnd);
btnEnd.addActionListener(driveThread);
btnBack = new JButton("back");
toolbar.add(btnBack);
btnBack.addActionListener(driveThread);
I have a few more buttons and now, for some reason, I need to put all addActionListener methods at the end, meaning after ALL buttons are already constructed.
So I miss the following possibility:
1. select code block
2. via struct search get a list of all $instance$.addActionListener($var$)
3. MODIFY the selected block so that the list defined in (2) is moved at the end
... this would save me monkey-like cut / paste
I know I might be the extreme struct/modify-advocate,
but as long as it stays less complex than coding itself ;) I'm definitely willing to do quite a lot to have my code modified semi-automatically, instead of doing stupid cut/copy/pastes - even if it is just to keep my brain busy instead of my fingers ;)

Michael,
until your request gets implemented, here's a shortcut to save you from excessive copy-and-pasting: Copy and paste the whole block and then remove (using just ctrl-X without previously marking the line) just the addActionListener lines in the first block and everything else in the second. Should be pretty fast.

IIRC, you also could use Ctrl-Y.
Tom
ctrl-y is delete line? didn't know that ;)
yes, it is pretty fast the way you described...
but still you have to carefully watch at every line,
where to hit ctrl-y, not to forget a single one, or delete
one accidentally.
with the feature I described, you could do it safely ;)
I would like it very much, to be able to think a very short time about a struct search command like "$inst$.actionPerformed($var$) -> select those in block & move past end of block" and then NOT have to worry about
something as primitive as ensuring if I really did copy/paste/ctrl-y correctly.
Jetbrains, what do you think about it? Chances to get
it implemented?
Plugin volunteers? ;)
Hi,
How to do it fast now :-).
Replace all following with
btnStart = new JButton("start");
toolbar.add(btnStart);
btnStart.addActionListener(driveThread);
with
btnStart.addActionListener(driveThread);
copy all statements into clipboard, undo the replacement,
replace all following:
btnStart = new JButton("start");
toolbar.add(btnStart);
btnStart.addActionListener(driveThread);
with
btnStart = new JButton("start");
toolbar.add(btnStart);
Paste the code from the clipboard.

this could be an easy way to implement it:
when doing a struct replace -> make the statements
that were replaced available to the clipboard.
So I could replace $var$.addActionListener($lst$)
with empty string, then have all those lines in the
clipboard, and paste them were I need them, with
ctrl-v or maybe ctrl-shift-v.
