Hi all, I know just enough python to get strangled by it - but here goes...
I've been using a Autokey script under Linux for a while - decided I would try my hand at porting it to a Zim Custom tool. I like to use the verbatim format for some text references - just to set it off from my personal text. So in Autokey it's done by copying the highlighted text into a string, performing the wrap on the string (which may span multiple lines) and pasting the wrapped text back using keyboard.send_key from the Autokey library (overwriting the unwrapped text). Works well. I've managed to do the same thing in a wrap.py script that I can run on the python command line, giving it a long string as an argument. For instance the following wraps the string (whole words) at 20 characters or less (I use 100 in Zim text window): import textwrap import sys text = sys.argv[1] text_lines =text.splitlines() for line in text_lines: wrap_line = textwrap.fill(line,20) print wrap_line+'\n' And can run it as: $python wrap.py "This is a very long line that I need to have over 100 characters in in order to see it wrap, I think we are coming close to 100 characters" This is a very long line that I need to have over 100 characters in in order to see it wrap, I think we are coming close to 100 characters The question that I have is that I'm no sure what mods are necessary to run this as a Zim custom tool: I'm guessing something line a Wrap tool mapped to a command like "wrap.py %t" - but how do I (a) delete the existing (unwrapped) text and (b) get the wrapped text back into the Zim window?
