The procedure is the same: write the script, create a script >action, assign it to the save event. I have mostly written a bash script to do what's wanted here, (I think), using DCOP to copy and paste from sources files into the space between and I'll post the script when I've finished commenting/debugging it but here's the section that does the work. Some lines will have wrapped. ---snip--- # Open the required file(s) dcop quanta-$PID WindowManagerIf openFile $PROJECT/$TEMPLATES/$INFILE 0 0 INFILE_IF_NUM=`dcop quanta-$PID WindowManagerIf currentEditorIfNum` #echo "infile if num = $INFILE_IF_NUM" #debug # Select and copy the file contents dcop quanta-$PID SelectionInterface#$INFILE_IF_NUM selectAll dcop quanta-$PID ClipboardInterface#$INFILE_IF_NUM-$INFILE_IF_NUM copy dcop quanta-$PID ViewCursorInterface#$IF_NUM-$IF_NUM setCursorPosition $L_START 0 # Now paste at the cursor position dcop quanta-$PID ClipboardInterface#$IF_NUM-$IF_NUM paste # Clear the selection in the source file dcop quanta-$PID SelectionInterface#$INFILE_IF_NUM clearSelection ---pins--- It deletes the old content first so it can also be used to easily update your page.
