   The following script tries to provide a fillDown function:
   In a rectangular, multi line selection insert the selected text on the first line in front of the selections of the subsequent lines. Any improvements are highly appreciated!

   import pn
   import scintilla
   import string
   from pypn.decorators import script
   
   @script("FillDown", "MyScripts")
   def fillDown():
   	editor = scintilla.Scintilla(pn.CurrentDoc())
   	editor.BeginUndoAction()
   
   	if editor.SelectionIsRectangle:
   
   		posStart = editor.SelectionStart
   		posEnd = editor.SelectionEnd
   		firstLine = editor.LineFromPosition(posStart)
   		lastLine = editor.LineFromPosition(posEnd)
   
   		text = editor.GetText(editor.GetLineSelStartPosition(firstLine),
             editor.GetLineSelEndPosition(firstLine))
   
   		corr = 0
   		if editor.CurrentPos != posStart:
   			corr = len(str(text))
   
   		editor.GotoPos(posStart)
   
   		for i in range(firstLine, lastLine):
   			editor.LineDown()
   			editor.GotoPos(editor.CurrentPos - corr)
   			editor.AddText(len(str(text)), str(text))
   
   	else:
   		pn.AddOutput("no rectangular selection found")
   
   	editor.EndUndoAction()

   Looks good, could you provide an example of "before" and "after" text so that people can see exactly what it does?

   Hi Simon, i will try to show, what the script does:

   Imaging a file with property values:

   size = 100
   color = blue
   bgcolor = withe
   encoding = utf-8

   Now you want to prefix each line with the Text "core."

   1. you write core. in front of the first line:

   core.size = 100
   color = blue
   bgcolor = withe
   encoding = utf-8

   2. you do a rectangular selection starting at the first line, position 0 down to the 4th line, position 5
   3. run the script

   core.size = 100
   core.color = blue
   core.bgcolor = withe
   core.encoding = utf-8

   the prefix is now filled down in front of the selected columns.
