Okay, I'll answer the first question first. To my knowledge IdleCE is using the system clipboard. I have a number of influential Python texts stored on my SD card and I copy example code from IE to IdleCE to test it out. Possibly the version of tcl/tk you are using is flawed/hacked/altered to change its behavior. The version of PythonCE and Tk I am using were obtained here: http://fore.validus.com/~kashtan/ Also about ctrl-c/x/v/z... These also should work by default, but on my device (HP Ipaq PPC WinCE 2003) I cannot generate a ctrl-keysym event. This is why I have added the highlight-click popup menu and the the double-tap to paste. I assume since you are asking about the key combinations you are using an HPC, the only thing I can suggest is that you get my event-check script and try to setup your own event binding to do copy/paste/etc. Just put self.bind('<mod-key>',self.copy/paste/etc.) in the __init__ of the SyntaxHighlightingText widget. One of the future features I am planning is a visible clipboard with a memory, this also may solve some of your problems/my bugs. On the second topic I have wondered myself what the file size limits are. Python takes a largish amount of memory to run, and with a Tkinter app running you also have tcl/tk and the Tkinter modules loaded into memory. Now if you have several other applications running as well you may be nearing the limits of your availible memory. Also I did not use any memory safe operations in opening files, I just open()ed then readlines() into a variable. I should probably change it to readline()... There changed, now it uses iteration to get the lines in the file. So far the largest file I've opened is IdleCE itself (~26k) I would be interested to hear the size of the largest file others had successfully edited. Anyway if I have time I will play around with the editing stuff and testing file capabilities, but their is so much to do. Anyway thanks for the feed back and feel free to get in there and play around with the code. Alot of stuff I did the easiest/fastest way I could think of so there are plenty of things to improve. I think most of the code is fairly straight forward, the only hairy parts is the colorizer and where stuff is hacked to pass selections between the popup menu and subsequent functions. _______________________________________________ PythonCE mailing list PythonCE@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonce
