using shell variables with ctrl+y

[Daliyot, Maoz]

Hi,
I wonder if there is a way to load nedit with some shell variables definitions, such that "ctrl+y" would open a pointer which includes shell variable in its path.

For example, let's say I have $PROJ_TOOL variable defined in shell, and I want to open a file in nedit with ctrl+y, that is pointed for example like:

$PROJ_TOOL/dir/file.txt

Thanks!

Maoz

You can create a simple macro with the contents:
open(shell_command( "echo -n " get_selection() , "" ))

Bind the macro to the keybinding of your choice and you're all set.
For simple cases this should work well.

Great ! I've just tested it and I suggest to use get_selection("any").
It allows using selection from anywhere, either into nedit or outside
(terminal, etc...) as regular "open selected" does.

Thanks Kaye and Hernault!
I was on vacation and just now got to implement your suggestions.
It works just fine.
Many thanks!
