Just a while ago I finished the LineComment Plugin, you can see it in action here:

The last few days things are going very slow, I laid the groundwork however to create a bunch of Ted2 Plugins.

 

https://github.com/coconcode/monkey2/tree/experimental-plugins

 

The Plugins At This Moment:

PluginTextView_CursorMoveHome Name: "Toggle cursor position between the start of the line and the start of the first letter." Shortcut "Home" PluginTextView_CursorMoveWord Name: "Move cursor to start or end of each the word." Shortcut: "Control(Shift) + Left or Right" PluginTextView_LineCopyCut Name: "Copy or Cut a complete line when there is no text selection." Shortcut: "Control + C or X" PluginTextView_LineComment Name: "Toggle comment for lines." Shortcut: "Alt + C"

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16

PluginTextView_CursorMoveHome Name: "Toggle cursor position between the start of the line and the start of the first letter." Shortcut "Home" PluginTextView_CursorMoveWord Name: "Move cursor to start or end of each the word." Shortcut: "Control(Shift) + Left or Right" PluginTextView_LineCopyCut Name: "Copy or Cut a complete line when there is no text selection." Shortcut: "Control + C or X" PluginTextView_LineComment Name: "Toggle comment for lines." Shortcut: "Alt + C"

However I made some code changes to the original design.

TextViewKeyEventFilter becomes PluginTextView
This more of a naming convention since I thought that in the future there might be other plugins as well other than the text view. (e.g. PluginConsole, PluginExplorer, PluginAnything). This will create a nice mental grouping that will make sense, in comparison to rogue classes where each one has it’s own unique name and you can’t put them in a basket.

Also I created the class TextViewFeatures (located in textviewplugin) to provide some shorthand methods for TextView objects, nothing more than a convenience wrapper class. It is also initialized as a private global so that it can be accessed easily.

I did not know about that, could be added to the modules list.

OK I noted down the details of the implementation, very impressive indeed. The conversation continues here:

Perhaps that would be an old OpenGLES version?

[coconParticipant]

I noted these down, thanks for the suggestions.

Since Ted2 is much improved now, there was no need to keep obsolete features around. I did a hard reset of the repository to the current newest version of Ted2 and started on some new ideas.

At this time I thought of a new design on how to extend Ted2 without messing with the core codebase too much. Since it’s better Ted2 to remain a simple project and solid project, any additional functionality could be implemented in a more flexible way.

I have MinGW extracted in “D:\Programs\monkey2mingw\mingw32\bin\g++.exe” and I have deleted the “devtools” folder, and created a “devtools” folder link instead (a junction, with the program SymLinkCreator). Actually I did not know about “evn_window.txt”, perhaps I might try to use it from now on.

Perhaps Adam made a few additions into mojox, if I remember correctly by looking at his repo. Adam, you might try to keep a separate fork of mojox since it will become a standalone project later on, you would control the changes of the libraries that way (ted21-mojox-other).

[coconParticipant]

I see that now makedocs can work only for modules, you say that it could work for projects as well right?

[coconParticipant]

There is a very interesting project that “wraps” all of the graphics APIs under one roof.

This might be a good inspiration of what the rendering backend of mojo would be.

Nice one, I see that you shoot the reload within a few lines of code.

In my fork, when doing reload of the the files, the Undo/Redo stack is busted. If accidentally you perform Undo/Redo the text will break and becomes full of gibberish. I don’t know if you have noticed it.

The solution I guess is that mojox TextView should be updated to clear the Undo/Redo stack right after the reload.

[coconParticipant]

I have managed recently to add automatic reloading of opened files in my fork. If AdamStrange are you interested to use whatever source suits your needs you are welcomed.

You could move my thread here since it’s not related to M2 development.

Here is a video to see how to use Ted2 with an external text editor (i.e. Sublime).
