AudoEditStrategy with context? [message #1047184]

Greetings everyone.

Does anyone know how I would go about implementing an AutoEditStrategy only in certain places of my model? The IAutoEditStrategy#customizeDocumentCommand only has an IDocument and DocumentCommand accessible, and no information or context about where I am in the model.

I would like to be able to take a list of items on a line like this:

containerName { item1, item2, item3, item4 }

And with each press of the [ENTER] button anywhere inside the brackets, I would like my AutoEditStrategy to insert a backslash indicating to my (external) compiler that the line has wrapped, like this:

containerName {\
  item1,\
  item2,\
  item3,\
  item4\
}

The key is, that the backslash should only be inserted if [ENTER] is pressed inside of the brackets. It should not insert a backslash outside the scope of the container.

Any ideas?

IIRC the auto edit is tied to regions in the text (i.e. inside strings,
comments etc.), but I don't remember exactly how. Think you need to read
the source for auto edits to figure it out.
