Hi Folks, In r15443, I checked in an update to quick entry, based on work done by our Summer of Code intern Phil Jones. Under the hood, this changed the way quick entry works, now any plugin can create a new quick entry command. I also added a few features/bug fixes:
- After a command is entered (say, /task /event call Jim tomorrow at noon), focus stays in the quick entry area, so you can hopefully *quickly* enter several new items - The escape key now clears the quick entry field - New items are always created in the current collection, even if they aren't visible with the current filter - You can use /t, or /ta, or /tas, or /task for the task command, the same goes for any other command - Soon, you should be able to download Vera Sheinman's report plug-in if you're interested in creating reports on what changes have been made to items (this was waiting on having me check in Phil Jones' work) If you're using Chandler from SVN, you'll need to run make after you upgrade to use the new quick entry system. --------------------------- Now that the architecture has changed, it would be very easy to have commands: - Be listed in a drop down from the quick entry area (we could show the drop down when / was pressed, perhaps) - We could associate help text with individual commands, perhaps shown beside the command in a drop down I'm not going to prioritize these features now, but if you're interested in them, please say so!
