Hi there,
Suppose I have a lazarus source editor open. I would like to, from
my command
line shell, issue a command to open a new source in the already-open source
editor. Is this possible?
Why? If I have a shell open in a directory, it's very quick to
tab-complete a
file within a directory. It's nice to be able to issue a quick
command to open
that file in my editor, rather than using the cumbersome gui file selection
interface. I've written scripts to do this with a few other apps, but it
requires support from the app in question.
It should in fact be easy to program this, using the simpleIPC protocol.
IDE acts as a server, and when the IDE starts, it checks whether the server
is available. If so, it sends a command to open the file.
Yes, sounds good.
Or, on Linux, D-BUS could be used for this. Windows might have some easy
DDE schedule for this.
