Re-wrap/split lines at margin... vs. Align paragraphs

[dimon40001]

I would like to have an option to reformat blocks of text keeping the indentation of the first line using the shortcut.

Align paragraphs can not be used, because it takes preconfigure values from the Configure... dialog. And it has to be reconfigured each time for each new indentation.

Re-wrap/split lines at margin... provides the necessary behavior, thought each time it opens the modal dialog asking for the Margin size and the comment sign.

Would it be possible to improve the behavior of Re-wrap/split lines at margin... to not using the modal dialog window?

Currently I refactored the plugin code a bit to add an additional hard-coded value of 120 characters for the right margin.

120 is arbitrary number. Why not 100, 140?

I added the patch in my fork https://github.com/Alexey-T/cuda_ext
branch 'patch-2'
Pls check it

Correct, 120 is arbitrary and was used just as an illustration. The best option would be to have a configuration dialog and the command to apply with currently configured settings. In a similar way as it works with Paragraphs functionality.

separate config dialog for CudaExt? not a good idea. sorry. in my fork I did that command uses Cud's option "margin" which you can set to 120 in "Plugins / OpTions Editor". but plugin limits it by 160.

Thank you. Formatting logic works well.
I would suggest to take the "default" value not from the Cuda interface-scope option "margin" but from the Re-wrap/split lines at margin... dialog. So the dialog already exists.
In such way the "previously" used value for right margin will be used as the "default" for Re-wrap/split lines at margin, with defaults

[Alexey-T]

that would need to add saving/loading of entered value in that dialog... not sure its ok. why "margin" is bad?

[dimon40001]

As I understand the margin is displayed also as thin vertical line in the editor.

So if one needs to format several paragraphs with several different margins - he would have to go to the settings dialog each time.

As an alternative this setting could be read from the Paragraph > Align: Configure... dialog. Where 3 options can be configured separately specifically for Paragraph commands:

• Paragraph right margin (this value can also be used for Re-wrap... with defaults)
• Indent of first line
• Indent of other lines

this setting could be read from the Paragraph > Align: Configure... dialog.

done as suggested!
