How to insert text to View?

[lavrton]

I want to clear View and paste some text. I am using this code:

output.run_command('select_all') output.run_command('insert', {'characters': res"out"]})

But the code works very slow. Are any other ways to do this?

I can’t use

output.insert(edit, 0, res"out"])

because out of “run” function

ST2/3 Edit Abstraction

While porting some of my plugins to ST3, I was annoyed enough with the edit changes (view.insert, replace, erase can only be used in a TextCommand now) to make an edit abstraction with easy syntax that works with both ST2 and ST3. This module allows use of insert, replace, and erase. It also batches all edits made inside the "with" block so they appear as one "edit" to Sublime. Hopefully this makes your life easier if you enjoy writing text manipulation plugins as much as me Exam…
