Description

Currently access to this information is only possible by manually hacking macro-files as described in help.

Main motivation: When performing a macro with each marked species it would be useful to be able to access the name of the current used species, e.g. to append it to a DB-field as reference (see Mark by reference help).

ACI should be extended (via plugin as provided by #756) if called from a running ARB.

ACI-command Information to provide
current_alignment name of current alignment
selected_species, … name of selected species, gene, experiment
current_tree name of selected tree (of main tree-view)
cursor_position current cursor position (used in editor and e.g. in insert column

Note:

  • the plugin has to be added globally (changing all callers is not an option)
