Re: [Announce] TxPad - Text/Code Editor
 

TxPad is now in extras-devel, enjoy.

Re: [Announce] TxPad - Text/Code Editor
 

Just tried out TxPad (latest version), but unfortunately all letters typed gets capitalized, e.g. INT MAIN (... Tapping or holding Shift while typing makes no change in the behaviour. For your information, I have a Swedish/Nordic N900 where the keyboard layout features 'å', 'ä' and 'ö'. I'm guessing it has something to do with keyboard mapping differences. Can you perhaps look into this?

Great work so far though, cool to have stuff like code folding and the layout looks nice. It would be good to be able to choose the color schemes for the foreground/background, since I like to code (on the N900) with a dark/black background.

Re: [Announce] TxPad - Text/Code Editor
 

Hi, thank you for reporting this.

Does it happen with all the letters, or just Swedish/Nordic letters?

How do the Fn keys behave (The "blue arrow" + Key), do they work properly? Also, does the Symbol dialog work ("blue arrow" + Sym) ?

About the color schemes, that should be easy to implement, expect it in the next release...

GREAT!
Waiting for that.

Re: [Announce] TxPad - Text/Code Editor
 

It capitalizes all letters a-z and the swedish letters (åäö).

I tried it again now, and it does actually print lower case letters if I hold Shift while typing. So something is going on with the keyboard layout.

The Fn keys work -- typed ":" and "#" for instance and scrolled using the Up/Down arrow buttons which requires Fn+Left/Fn+Right. Also tried with Ctrl, e.g. ctrl+c and ctrl+f, and it also seems to work properly.

Yep, the symbol dialog shows up with Fn + Sym as it should. However, it differs from the normal symbol dialog in that the letters ç, ñ and ß have become uppercase:

Great :)

I noticed also that the Open dialog does not list the hidden folders such as .documents and .images in MyDocs, so it should also be fixed. Also, you can move the marker/cursor anywhere on the screen, e.g. outside the lines -- have you implemented the behaviour to be like that? It would be nice to be able to switch it off, since I'm used to the old style.

Re: [Announce] TxPad - Text/Code Editor
 

Thank you for those details, i have found where the bug was, the diffrence was not the keyboard layout but the fact that i had the "Auto capitalisation" feature turned off..

As the text editor is a custom written widget, Qt (or whoever) considered every letter as the first letter...

The bug has been fixed, thank you for your help.

I missed that one, its now fixed.

Yes, i have implemented it that way, i will add an option to turn that off in the settings menu..

Couple UI things:

Dialogs could be higher or you could put them to two columns and use buttons.

Bold?

"Tab Bar visible" doesn't fit to the button. Horizontal radio-buttons would look nicer :rolleyes:

These arrows could be on right side of screen, so you could put your left thumb on the proximity sensor and use your right thumb to click them :)

This would be great :)

Re: [Announce] TxPad - Text/Code Editor
 

Why is a proximityd installed with the editor ?

Runs it all the time in background ?

Re: [Announce] TxPad - Text/Code Editor
 

It uses it for kinetic scrolling. Open some document, cover the proximity sensor with your left hand and scroll with your right hand,

Re: [Announce] TxPad - Text/Code Editor
 

I have made them higher. Thanks.

Nope, your theme has set that font/size (look at the settings dialog, buttons are non bold, but the text above is bold(i made it bold)).
Again, "Tab Bar visible" fits properly with the standard theme its your theme that made the letters thicker/larger. Anyway, i have made it bigger so it should fit properly now.
I have placed them on the left side for two reasons, first, they dont cover any code there and the second, there are allready 3 potential buttons there..

When the tab bar isn't visible, there are some controls in the upper right corner, "bookmarks" button is in the bottom right corner (also macros will be there with the next release), and when in fullscreen mode, the fullscreen button.. And if Find or Find and Replace is active, there is even less space...
so moving it on the right side would require that it covers "two colums"... I don't know if that would "feel" right..

What do you guys think?

Yes, as you know or don't know, the proximity sensor is allways on, it doesnt matter if you use the phone or not. Proximityd reads its status.. Other programs like MAG's MediaBar also require proximityd...
