For VimPharo, I want to have a different cursor depending on whether a tool is in insert or normal mode.
I tried a handful of ways, but they all failed or worked partially/inconsistently. Here's some of them: * add the state to the paragraph, but the entire paragraph gets replaced during the life of the tool, so the state gets lost * add the state to the editor, but the situation is the same * add the state to PluggableTextMorph, override and access it from TextMorphForEditView>>updateFromParagraph. This was an extreme PITA and got me very acquainted with the emergency evaluator. It "worked", but only after using the arrows a bit. Does anyone have any idea where I might hook in? <rant>I find the whole text system very confusing. What the heck does a paragraph know about insertion points?? A view has one paragraph object, even if there are several paragraphs (as understood by the rest of humanity as a block of text with breaks between the adjoining ones. Editors and Paragraphs are thrown out and replaced on a whim. I'm finding it very hard to understand and modify</rant> Thanks, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Customizing-the-Caret-of-a-PluggableTextMorph-tp4640245.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
