I have an 1000 row spreadsheet of the text I want to find and the text I want to replace it with. How do I automate this and not do a simple find and replace 1000 times?
Text to Replace
Replacement Text
Alpha
Apple
Beta
Banana
Gamma
Goat
VS Code allows you to quickly find text and replace in the currently opened file. Press Ctrl+F to open the Find Widget in the editor, search results will be highlighted in the editor. and Ctrl+H for replace all your selected text.
I have some text in CKEditor which should be editable and some text which should be non-editable.
The non-editable text I am enclosing in a span as below.
<span contenteditable="false" unselectable="on">Here is where my non-editable text goes</span>
The editable text I am enclosing in a span as below.
<span style="background-color:Yellow">$[insert Date]</span>
Here we are using style background yellow to highlight the editable text in yellow to the user.
I put my cursor within the editable text and move using the left or right arrow keys. Once I move outside the editable text area, I am able to remove even the non-editable text using backspace.
The issue is that as soon as my cursor moves outside the editable text area the code isn't able to detect any key press due to which I am not able to restrict the backspace or delete.
Does Range functionality help in this issue? If yes please help and give an example of where we can use the Range code.
EDIT:
It came to my attention that there is a $nonEditable dtd descriptor that could also come in handy:

You could use the widget functionality to make the text ineditable-- using contenteditable="false" in CKEditor can be a bit unpredictable, but the creating a widget extension plugin can have really nice results.
It would be a very basic widget that simply uses the upcast checking if the element has 'unselectable="on"', then the text will automatically become uneditable and using the arrow keys will simply skip over the text instead of entering it. You also get quite a bit of other functionality with the widget plugin and it makes it much easier to integrate into things like events, dialog editing, etc.
You can get a widget creation tutorial here:

For more information, I just answered a question about making parts ineditable here:
How can I create uneditable fields on CK Editor?
I'm working on a real-time collaborative editor within Ace editor, and I couldn't find any docs on inserting text at a certain position within the editor (Aka, the position the other user types at.) Any ideas?
To insert at current position you can use ( assuming that might be what you are looking for )
editor.session.insert(editor.getCursorPosition(), text)
use editor.session.insert(position, text) where position is an object of the form {row:number, column:number}
However this alone won't help to make collaborative editor. take a look at share.js which supports Ace.
When I set the multiline property of the text control to true, when in use, if the text control is used as a basic one line textbox and the text typed in goes past the length of the box, it only highlights text up the end of the box, you have to press the right arrow key to highlight the rest. I need the multiline property set to true because in some scenarios it is necessary. I've thought of creating the text control twice with the property turned off in one and on in the other but wanted to know if anyone knew a solution?
I want to insert a piece of text using a keyboard shortcut or single click instead of copying ans pasting the whole time. Can I do that in Xcode?
also, I have a page guide at x=80 in my xcode editor. Can I limit all my statements till that vertical line?
i.e., if I am writing a new line, it should automatically inset a new line character when that page guide is reached. Also, any old code that I wrote I might want to wrap that up within x=80.
