REQUEST: Insert vB Code at cursor location, not end of textblock

[theflow]

I am not a coder. I would like to see vB code toolbar work differently than it currently does.

Currently: whenever you activate a vB code item from toolbar, it inserts that vB code at the end of the message being composed. The system logic presumes you will always be writing and formatting on-the-fly. But, many people like to post-process their message, or even paste in replies, then format them and make links etc.

Request: Can anyone create the code for me that tells all vB code insertions to be made at the point of your cursor's current position?

With this exception: I use Enhanced mode vs Normal mode. Thus I like to use the "close current tag" and "close all tags". Currently, they behave adequately. But from my experience, if I open a tag, compose some stuff, then hit "close all tags", the action is successful. But if I then go into my message and insert another [ b ] [ i ] anywhere, for the sake of argument, I want "close all tags" to insert [ /b ] and [ /i ] at the end of my message. And I can move them where I need to. Currently, this does not happen.

Excellent! Thank you, and thanks Scott... I read the whole thread and the summary statement is:

Works for IE, NS can't take advantage of it, a few snags (perhaps) with keyboard equivalents of certain vB code button operations. tubedogg, I am presuming that reason this has not been added to vB itself is lack of NS support, which makes sense.
