Options Editor Lite

Stefan · Post by **Stefan** » 27.02.2023 08:01

Is there a way to operate the Options Editor Lite with the keyboard only, without having to reach for the mouse? If not, no problem, just wondering.

Atm, the TAB-key jumps to Scope and then to the description. That's where it gets stuck. No chance to change a setting without reaching for the mouse.

Ideally, the TAB-key would move the focus from
Filter -> List -> Scope -> Edit-field.
Or: Filter -> Scope -> List -> Edit

Once on Edit, the Space key would toggle Enable.
Ctrl+Tab could focus the sections-sidebar and back again.

Just ideas, not urgent, not important.

Stefan, small idea: when you complete the donate, pls send this topic to @veksha, maybe he will want to help.

How can I reach him?
He probably has other fish to fry. And I don't blame him. Just to think of it ...

Not urgent at all.
Same with the popup menu. Thanks for putting it top left.

You can write to Cud's github 'issues' with tagging the person:
@veksha
with '@' char before id

Will do that. Where does it go? In the topic title? Or the body text?
Must get better with github, it is so different from "normal" forums, with pull requests and all that code stuff.

But first I want to tackle the XYplorer lexer. Will re-read your lexer tutorial over the weekend. And bang my head against those RegEx hurdles.

a. in the body text.
b. XYplorer lexer: don't worry, I guess small count of ppl need that lexer.

Will see what I can do. My lexer works good enough for me, but I don't really "program", I only tweak the menus and ready-made scripts from others.

Guess you are right, not a big crowd for that lexer. And they already have lexers for Akel and Notepad++ and Sublime.

I will make the XYPlorer lexer if you find at least 4 men to use it in Cud

Hahaha. Touché!

Who knows, I might round them up. Have not been active in their forum for many years. I probably have to sign up again. Currently not in the mood for that. I rather stick around here with the real professionals

Don't bother with the lexer. I am fine with mine. But I may have a question or two about code folding, hierarchical code folding. It seems like a great way to structure any kind of text, not just markdown. I want to experiment over the weekend, while reading your tutorial.
