Hi all,
I have been trying to write a usable hex editor as a Lua
"application" for SciTE, and I think I have solved most of the
issues, within the limits of the Lua extension interface. Just
uploaded the hex editor to LuaForge. So the following is briefly,
information on some stuff I have posted recently on
http://lua-users.org/wiki/SciteScripts, as demonstrations of what
is possible with a Lua "application" model on SciTE.
(1) http://lua-users.org/wiki/SciteTicTacToe
Updated. Sample self-contained Lua "application". Well-behaved
with multiple buffers and multiple instances running. extman
optional. Interaction using key presses and double-clicks. Display
update using complete buffer refreshes.
(2) http://lua-users.org/wiki/SciteCalculator
A more ambitious "application", an attempt to build a usable tool.
Implements a calculator that is a bit similar in operation to the
Win32 calculator. Toggle for a help screen. More extensive use of
"buttons", key presses, and buffer state.
(3) http://lua-users.org/wiki/SciteHexEdit
Completely rewritten, now a pretty usable hex editor, basic
features complete. Has a console mode for command entry. Main
display in colour as well. Navigation using keys and buttons,
editing (hex and ASCII), loading, saving, searching (hex data,
literals and Lua regexps). Changes are highlighted in yellow.
Customizable display styles. Byte value colour-coding.
Of course, SciTE is not Emacs, but it is quite possible to write
some useful tools. I plan on using the calculator and the hex
editor in my usual setup, so any feedback on the two is welcome.
