Re: copy-line

[Andy Stewart <lazycat.manatee@gmail.com>]

Hi,

Below are my code:

------------------------------> Code start <------------------------------
(defun duplicate-line-above (&optional reverse)
  "Duplicate current line above."
  (interactive)
  (let ((origianl-column (current-column))
        line-content)
    (setq line-content (buffer-substring (line-beginning-position) (line-end-position)))
    (beginning-of-line)
    (and reverse (forward-line +1))
    (newline +1)
    (forward-line -1)
    (insert line-content)
    (goto-column origianl-column)))

(defun duplicate-line-below ()
  "Duplicate current line below"
  (interactive)
  (duplicate-line-above t))

(defun duplicate-line-above-comment (&optional reverse)
  "Duplicate current line above, and comment current line."
  (interactive)
  (if reverse
      (duplicate-line-below)
    (duplicate-line-above))
  (save-excursion
    (if reverse
        (forward-line -1)
      (forward-line +1))
    (comment-or-uncomment-region+)))

(defun duplicate-line-below-comment ()
  "Duplicate current line below, and comment current line."
  (interactive)
  (duplicate-line-above-comment t))
------------------------------> Code end   <------------------------------

You can find those code at http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/emacs/lazycat-toolkit.el

Below are my keybing for those command:

------------------------------> keybinding start <------------------------------
("C-S-o" . duplicate-line-above)
("C-S-l" . duplicate-line-below)
("C-S-s-o" . duplicate-line-above-comment)
("C-S-s-l" . duplicate-line-below-comment)
------------------------------> keybinding end   <------------------------------

Enjoy!
