Extracting to new block

[stdword]

inspired by incremental blocks plugin

Steps

1. Create 🏛template (use copy button in the top right corner):

   - template:: extract to new block
     template-shortcut:: 
     template-version:: 2
     plugin-version:: 4.2.2
     link:: [Showroom](https://github.com/stdword/logseq13-full-house-plugin/discussions/50)
     arg-insert-to-top?:: no
     arg-insert-as-child?:: yes
     arg-switch-focus?:: yes
     - ```javascript
       ``{
         var selection = cursor.selection()
         var content = (await logseq.Editor.getEditingBlockContent()) || c.currentBlock.content
         var selectedContent = ''
         if (selection)
             selectedContent = content.slice(...selection)
         
         var switchFocus = selection && (selection[0] !== selection[1]) ? c.args['switch-focus?'] : true
       
         if (switchFocus) {
             await logseq.Editor.exitEditingMode()
             await sleep(20)
         }
       
         if (c.args['insert-to-top?'])
             if (c.args['insert-as-child?'])
                 blocks.spawn(selectedContent)
             else
                 blocks.append(selectedContent)
         else
             await logseq.Editor.insertBlock(c.currentBlock.uuid, selectedContent, {sibling: !c.args['insert-as-child?'], before: false})
         
         if (selection) {
             var [start, end] = selection
             content = content.slice(0, start) + content.slice(end)
         }
       
         if (switchFocus)
             return content
         else
             return ''
       }``
       ```

2. Reload the application (⌘R or Ctrl+R for Win) to register shortcut command
3. Got to Settings → Keymap (g s)
4. Bind any shortcut you want for command «Insert 🏛️template: "extract to new block"»
5. Reload the application again (⌘R or Ctrl+R for Win) to register just chosen shortcut
6. In the block Edit Mode (with or without text selection) or in the block Selection Mode use chosen shortcut to call the action.

Configuring

Creating blocks at the top or at the bottom of other child blocks

Use property arg-insert-to-top?:: to configure that. You can specify «yes» or «no».

Switching focus to newly created block

Use property arg-switch-focus?:: to configure that. You can specify «yes» or «no».
Note: The focus always switches to empty blocks (despite of this property value).

Set different shortcuts for different options

1. Fill property arg-toggle-color with first color (ex: arg-toggle-color:: green)
2. Create another 🏛️template

   - template:: extract to new (sibling-top) block
     template-shortcut:: 
     arg-insert-to-top?:: yes
     arg-insert-as-child?:: no
     arg-switch-focus?:: no
     - ``await layout('extract to new block')``

3. Reload the application (⌘R or Ctrl+R for Win) to register shortcut command
4. Got to Settings → Keymap (g s)
5. Bind any shortcut you want for command «Insert 🏛️template: "color header (red)"»
6. Reload the application again (⌘R or Ctrl+R for Win) to register just chosen shortcut
7. Now, you can use two different shortcuts for different option sets.
