i was mainly referring to the point made then. it was not me who brought up this argument against the text-editor, nor was i ever opposed to having/keeping the text editor. iirc, back [1] then nobody made a convincing argument in favour of the editor (at least an argument that convinced those who wanted to remove it). and it took 5 years to raise the issue again, so it probably was not *that* important :-) > > miller's suggestion of up&down keys working in msg boxes would > solve it. > oh, yes. editing text within Pd should give you the feeling of a "real" editor. iirc, there are more issues than just up/down keys (but since it's not really hard to work even with this nuisances, i tend to quickly forget them; that doesn't mean that they are no nuisances and shan't be fixed). ideally no code would need to be added to Pd(-core) to "emulate" such an editor (instead i'd love to have some real standard editor widget used) fgamsdr IOhannes [1] http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2009-09/072525.html -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJUKRLYAAoJELZQGcR/ejb48aAP/jH65LKgKYApYqa7P5WPojj2 2LOwerjDhDjBCWJyyu5wTCmNlw5+zW8umw6iDkWSfaOnvKpvGNzOF1nrF1GwE2mn 2LOTvCLA8Dwsp94sD5CZZ39xXAAsYhl0EyosfkYkEwAPWrqVeuOTldOTvoOFclul Hk1XFrWHS02K51XTn4l3bhYL+Cm26Eng/ZJdUIzubMTiv+moIiNG/y5LY3ZuWr+l Qkwl7KsNB2B/RSlr4ZCOKAlat723vxp8jY8GZQPaS5db/FukkMF8hQBabeiaS8m6 QlyGpQFVUHftWdDF2iZGFSe6vNKpPKz1P+4SGDW82kNu0MAvWOGX+lar12VyT9o2 5HiO882Gk8qkg6+azFiz7sL4Es+Lqab4khDFKSKJUUAZp3INnLarGyXrkf7KRIUf 02z86hW3sGoakQLAmIfhlC4D4KHd8rYlsYnT6uRUp1KW6xr6cIsgkp7H/GXstYam QG0S+TcLeqmt9uK94JSIgUZaXR6p+q2JcMk+7esJS9rpHjUgR/mEj9mg0bg7me5N +ypR3TJjGlJN4xULtOUr1V/MoIPAQqu92y5mN2lLrZAkSI/S4oUCUPjDdAWviUbq OEMojN+xRDseANjCPjUqkhKeV+KGJToOk6RYXfAZZrymfRwwTBpoFvNkl7TVT1G7 cJGDi/hZY6WnziaDubcQ =Xuu+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
