This is generally not possible because the selection can include multiple types of settings.

i suppose one might expect a lowest common denominator in such cases, but it doesn't work even if you select a few of only the same type

I don't think this is the reason. After all, the same behavior works in Zugg's Delphi IDE as well as Delphi's various competitor's IDEs and the various products created with those tools. Probably more due to the fact that Zugg didn't design zScript with inheritence in mind, thus it's possible that some of the common attributes behave a bit differently across different settings (in other words, in terms of zScript a trigger is a completely unrelated class than an alias despite what attributes they would seem to share). |

Actually, CMUD *does* use class inheritance. For example, every setting has an Enabled property, and a Name property. But an Alias doesn't have a "Case Sensitive" option like a trigger does.
However, each setting does have an Options field, which is an integer bit field. But the interpretation of these bit values is different for each setting type. So just copying the options field from one setting to another of a different type would have lots of bad effects.
And because your selection can contain settings of different types, there is no easy way to do this. Maybe someday in the future I'll add something like this, but not for now. |
