# CopyPasteKiller Plugin
Sublime text 3 plugin to help to refactor duplicated code.
This command sets snippets for "Find and Replace" with regular expression.
You can find any code blocks without caring about indentation
and some differences like variable names.
You can replace those matches with refactored code
by changing the given 'replace_string' and hitting "Replace".
## Usage:
You can declare shortcut like:
```
{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+i"], "command": "copy_paste_killer" }
```

The snippets for "Find" and "Replace" are set
You could configure whether to open panels or not with settings `keep_panels_open`
#### Change the snippet for "Find"
Find parts which have variations(e.g. variable name) in the snippet for "Find" and select them
#### Replace variables with Regex

## Test
### UnitTesting plugin
Use [UnitTesting plugin](https://github.com/SublimeText/UnitTesting)
- Open _tests/test_copy_paste_killer_selection_converter.py_
- Open "Command Palette..." (⇧⌘P)
- Run "UnitTesting: Test Current File"
#### Test scenarios
- "tests/data/*_source.txt" -> Expected snippet for selection
- "tests/data/*_find.txt" -> Expected snippet for find_string
- "tests/data/*_replace.txt" -> Expected snippet for replace_string
### Manual testing
Any selection shouldn't change with "copy_paste_killer" command and "Find" and "Replace" when replace_string isn't changed.
