CodeMirror Editor Button for the Gallery

[lisandi]

For usability, it would be great if a button could be added to the editor menu which enters the shortcode markers

[gallery lastRow=justify]
[/gallery]

to the text where the shortcode should get inserted and placing the cursor just behind "...justify]Cursor". That way there won't be an empty line to start the gallery and the "lastRow=justify" as standard guarantees that the gallery is always in a nice looking format no matter what image formats had been inserted.

It would make the gallery plugin much more usable and would limit typing errors.

Thanks for the suggestion.

However, you need to help me out here, a little.
I've never heard of a tool named CodeMirror with Grav, and googling doesn't help a lot, neither.
I guess you're talking about adding a button to the WYSIWYG editor of the Grav Admin Panel. In that case you have to give me some hint, how to add buttons there.

As for the lastRow=justify thing:
You can set justify as default behavior for this plugin in the gallery settings. No need to always use it as shortcode.

HI! I think you could add an editor button using the already existing "Editor buttons" plugin
I was able to customise it adding a "Justify" option for the text-
Path: admin folder/buttons folder/insert-shortcodes folder/js folder/shortcodes-core.js
in js file I added this chunk of code:

{
                            'shortcodes-alignjustify': {
                                identifier: 'shortcodes-alignjustify',
                                title: 'AlignJustify',
                                label: '<i class="fa fa-fw fa-align-justify"></i>',
                                modes: ['gfm', 'markdown'],
                                action: function(_ref) {
                                    var codemirror = _ref.codemirror, button = _ref.button;
                                    button.on('click.editor.shortcodes-alignjustify', function() {
                                        Instance.buttonStrategies.replaceSelections({ token: '$1', template: '[justify]$1[/justify]', codemirror: codemirror});
                                       codemirror.focus();
                                    });
                                }
                            }
                        },

Hope it works for adding the gallery button too
