Make Case Selector

[NelsonUWP]

I don't know how many times I've added a case statement post-programming, but I do know that there isn't an easy way to make a tunnel the case selector.  Usually I delete the tunnel and then drag the case selector down and then rewire, there should be an easier way.  For loops and while loops have an easy way to index/unindex or replace with shift register, why can't a case statement be the same?

What would happen is the case selector was already wired?  would this option be grayed out?  Would the wired node be replaced with a tunnel?

Maybe instead of an option that said "Make Case Selector from Tunnel" it would say "Move Case Selector to Tunnel", something to that effect. As far as the existing case selector, I would just make it a tunnel.

How about just dragging the existing unwired case selector on top of a tunnel, wait a second until the tunnel "lights up", release the mouse. --> tunnel changes to case selector.

(At the same time we should also remove the restriction that the case selector must be on the left edge. Many times I wish I could place it on the top or bottom edge for a cleaner code layout, but that's proably a different idea).

Also, make sure the 'Linked input terminal' menu will work properly.

Wouldn't this be easier?  It's already possible with the JKI RCF.

@altenbach, I like that too. Something, anything, is better than what is already in place.... which is nothing.

You can find two RCF plugins that do this here.

Please, please don't use the top and bottom edges of structures for tunnels - it's bad style IMHO. Bad style .

But the right-click (or drag-drop) to select new selector receives my kudos...

Cheers,

I was just about to post this reccomendation, but you beat me to it!

I am constantly deleting my tunnel, and re-connecting it to the selector.  It'd be great to have this function. 

Kudos.

It would be great if a case could have multiple selectors under this situation.  Right click to make something a case selector, and select AND or OR.  It will reduce clutter as the AND or OR statement will now be an attached module to the case.
