plugin to (re)open file as hex/binary

[tmsg]

Could you give code of plugin which uses this cmd_ and fails? it must switch to hex, to editor, and call cmd, and fail.

Look into my post from "Today 14:20" probably two hours different for your TZ. That's the code (minus the definition of hexCr ). This code works but it doesn't scroll to the caret.

Adding ed.action(EDACTION_UPDATE) either before or after the ed.cmd(cmds.cCommand_ScrollToCaretTop) call doesn't make a difference.

you missed PROP_LINE_TOP.
this works ok--

Code: Select all

import os
from cudatext import *
import cudatext_cmd as cmds

class Command:
   cr=None 
   top=None
    
   def run(self):
      if ed.get_prop(PROP_V_MODE)!=VMODE_NONE:
         ed.set_prop(PROP_V_MODE,VMODE_NONE)
         ed.focus()
         if self.top:
            ed.set_prop(PROP_LINE_TOP, self.top)
         if self.cr:
            ed.set_caret(*self.cr)
      else:
         self.top=ed.get_prop(PROP_LINE_TOP)
         self.cr=ed.get_carets()[0]
         ed.set_prop(PROP_V_MODE,VMODE_HEX)
         ed.set_prop(PROP_V_WIDTH_HEX,32)

@Alexey: Alright, after adding those calls it works now although I still think that the ed.cmd(cmds.cCommand_ScrollToCaretTop) call should have worked in the sense that it should scroll the caret into view (though not necessarily with the same top line). Anyway...

A side note: I think your code is not ideal as it only works with one editor being toggled. Toggling a second editor while the first is still toggled will overwrite the values from the first toggle. That's why I used a dict in my code.

but this plugin works as well! On Linux. will check on Win10.

Code: Select all

import os
from cudatext import *
from cudatext_cmd import *

class Command:
   cr=None 
   top=None
    
   def run(self):
      if ed.get_prop(PROP_V_MODE)!=VMODE_NONE:
         ed.set_prop(PROP_V_MODE,VMODE_NONE)
         ed.focus()
         #if self.top:
            #ed.set_prop(PROP_LINE_TOP, self.top)
         if self.cr:
            ed.set_caret(*self.cr)
            ed.cmd(cCommand_ScrollToCaretTop)
      else:
         #self.top=ed.get_prop(PROP_LINE_TOP)
         self.cr=ed.get_carets()[0]
         ed.set_prop(PROP_V_MODE,VMODE_HEX)
         ed.set_prop(PROP_V_WIDTH_HEX,32)

yes, and needed more! "ed" has handle 0 - always- so saving nnn[ed] is useless, need to save REAL handle,
it is ed.get_prop -

* PROP_HANDLE_SELF: int: handle of editor object, for which get_prop is called. This handle is unique among all objects in program (it is memory address). Note that ed.h==0, it is virtual handle for the focused editor. This API returns the real handle.
* PROP_HANDLE_PRIMARY: int: handle of editor object, which is primary editor in a file tab (always visible). None for separate editors.
* PROP_HANDLE_SECONDARY: int: handle of editor object, which is secondary editor in a file tab (visible only when file tab is splitted). None for separate editors.

restore from handle: e = Editor(h)

Good to know . Code adapted.

checked that issue with cCommand_ on Win10, all ok there too. file is scrolled to caret after switch hex->editor.
