Re: elastic tabstops and gvim's GTK text widget
Hello, Do you intend to make Elastic Tabs available in a console vim as well? regards, Peter --- Nick Gravgaard [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, I am the creator of a mechanism called elastic tabstops (see nickgravgaard.com/elastictabstops/). Right now, my plan is to try and implement this in as many text widgets as possible so that the editors that use them will be able to easily add this as a feature. Since vim (well, gvim really) is my editor of choice I thought I'd start with that. Could someone tell me which GTK widget gvim uses and what problems they think I might encounter? Any other comments are also welcome. Thanks, Nick On Yahoo!7 Fuel Price Watch: Find the cheapest petrol in your area http://au.maps.yahoo.com/fuelwatch/
Re: elastic tabstops and gvim's GTK text widget
I don't think so - just the GTK version. One of the advantages of the elastic tabstop system is that proportional fonts can be used without breaking vertical alignment, and obviously this advantage is invalid in a monospaced console. I'm not fussed about proportional fonts, I'm interested in not having to manually add and remove whitespace. But I only run OS X and Windows GUIs anyway. regards, Peter Do you Yahoo!?

Yeah well the proportional fonts thing is only a side benefit. There are other more important advantages such as the one you mention. Do you know if gvim uses a standard GTK text widget? I have absolutely no idea, sorry. If you download the Vim source, you should find everything GTK-related in these files: gui_gtk.c gui_gtk_f.c gui_gtk_f.h gui_gtk_vms.h gui_gtk_x11.c If no one else on this list can help you, then Bram ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) is the person to ask. regards, Peter On Yahoo!7 Photos: Unlimited free storage keep all your photos in one place! http://au.photos.yahoo.com
