Re: [racket-users] Way to open DrRacket at a specific file line?

I see. I suppose that on the second call to "$ drracket -singleInstance", it's main.rkt that is visited again? I'd be surprised if singleInstance discarded all the flags though. Instead of flags though, one could write something like @12,15 to specify the line and column, so that the OS thinks it'

Re: [racket-users] Way to open DrRacket at a specific file line?

I was optimistic this could work because when you launch DrRacket with bad flags it tries to open files with these names, at least on Ubuntu: $ drracket my-file.rkt --line will try to open the file "--line" and complain with a GUI message. So I guess that means the non recognized flags are sent to

Re: [racket-users] Way to open DrRacket at a specific file line?

This is fine advice. If you wanted to prepare just a little bit more, you might run "raco pkg update --clone drracket" (and then respond "yes" to the prompt). This would, in the directory you're in, create a "drracket" sub directory and a few others that contain the source code of DrRacket, linked

I see it is possible to do now, but require some not negligible amount of work, at least at this time for me... Thanks for the informations. I will continue to search for an hack on background, nonetheless... I will let you all know if I find something. > Ok. Some elements of answer: > - DrRacket

Re: [racket-users] Way to open DrRacket at a specific file line?

Ok. Some elements of answer: - DrRacket can be started with the option "-singleInstance" to make sure that an existing window is reused to open new files. This option must be used each time the `drracket` executable is called, so it's better to simply make an alias. This also requires libunique to

[racket-users] Way to open DrRacket at a specific file line?

As much as I love vim/gvim and configured it to do anything I want, I can not code anymore without DrRacket. Something I miss is the ability to open a file (in an existing istance) in a tab at specific line number (bonus points if also column). Tried searching around with no success... Any idea?
