Atom is nice, true, but I had a license for ST2 from 2014 and it worked! plus "multiple cursors" and related multi-line handling is awesome, I not seeing that in Atom (maybe there is a package for that…) but, keep us posted on a syntax package updates.

Thanks for the thorough reply Trevor. I left Sublime Text when it was "2" years ago…thinking it was an EOL'd tool but here you say "Sublime Text 3" Oh… sweet, my Sublime Text 2 license works!

I don't think it will *ever* be a full-fledged option until stacks themselves can be saved as text files for use with standard revision control and patching. The most it can due is take a chink out of the corner. And on the value of those . . . As I was nearing the end of my dissertation, and had a visiting spot for the following year lined up, with a $10k difference between waiting for paperwork (assistant prof) and ABD (instructor), my wife had to go to California to help her sister's family during her first cancer. I had to drive out to pick them up, and lost my transmission in Omaha (really, It *does* happen outside of country songs). I had a laptop with an older version of my dissertation with me, and hard-copy of the current version with advisor comments (between two majors in my Ph.D. and working outside the departments, I had three advisors). Because (and only because) LyX and LaTeX are text format, I was able to simply edit the obsolete copy and use diff to make a comparison, and apply patch to the most recent copy, and actually get two days work out of the two days I spent stranded. More commonly, until and unless livecode can save such that such standard tools or comparable can be applied, multi-person development will remain a fantasy and/or novelty. I've come to accept that the next major rewrite of my software is going to have to be in something else (Swift?) so that I can add developers, as well as the inability to actually put a pdf or eps on a card (just a bitmap of it won't do); livecode just doesn't seem to me doing towards such a direction. Yes, I understand the desire to stay true to the hypercard model, but as-is, I don't see livecode as a viable solution to a project larger than the indy limits. -- Dr. Richard E. Hawkins, Esq.

I don't think SOS is the main future. I think it gives us another option. Long before someone learns that technique, they should have the traditional method down, cold, and understand why they would use one or the other. SOS definitely make working on the IDE easier, and they make complicated projects easier, but I wouldn't even think of teaching someone who isn't already a LC expert about doing it this way. The one thing to remember about the SOS technique is that Git isn't the only option. Git is hard core, and it is hard. I still don't like it, but I am trying to tolerate it.

There seems to be more stack-based collaboration over in the forums, since you can attach files. GIT seems overkill for many of the smaller tasks, and way more complicated too. At least if you've never participated in team-based coding. Balls are rolling, but rolling in different directions.

No, what I meant was that we as a group have been really slow to get the ball and start running.

All I did was plant the thought, and Bernd went nuts with it. Welcome to management. Where's my big paycheck and pin stripes? Anyway, we have been raly slow as a community picking up the ball and running with it since LC went OSS. Every time we start going after ANYTHING in LC it's a plus, so I'm glad the dictionary is getting attention. I have a list of other LC components that I want to have fixed, but we will wait just a little longer, before getting someone to do the next one.

I has misread "hack" as "workaround". Sockets are of course are a very common method for processes to communicate, and are generally pretty fast, esp. on the local machine. If you've seen delays I'll bet they can be addressed. The MC IDE used to have built-in support for external editors since the olden days, and a more flexible socket-based method is even better. So far this thought experiment seems favorable to all who've responded. For those who prefer a LiveCode-based editor, I can envision are project very much like the one you started with the Dictionary, leaving scripted components in the hands of capable scripters in the community so the engine team could theoretically be freed up to do the things only they can do. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Software Design and Development for Desktop, Mobile, and Web ambassa...@fourthworld.comhttp://www.FourthWorld.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: Script Editor fixable? (was: Configuring a Sublime Text project to notify LiveCode IDE about updates to script only stacks)
Trevor, in his (L)evure framework (which is what brought the original topic up that inspired this thread) developed a way to get the LC IDE to act as a server/listener and ST to broadcast every time a .livecodescript file is edited. LC then unloads and reloads the .lcs file (whether it is a front or backscript, library, behavior, etc.), causing it to be updated live, as if it had been edited in the LC SE.

And if for #5, if I just want to keep using the LC built-in editor because I am comfortable using it, then I would hope it still exists. I guess like metacard, it would branch into it's own open-source thing, maintained by those who want it.

Other reasons to think about an external editor: 1) Code folding 2) Visual markers for structures (vertical lines that connect the beginning and end of a control structure, making it easy to see) 3) Larger community, therefore more people to work on it, make suggestions, etc. 3a) Maybe, eventually, the development team doesn't have to worry about the SE, any more, at all. 4) Why is having an integrated editor important, if your edits made via an external editor take effect immediately?

I tried out Sublime Text 3 while working on some projects based on Rails and Ember at the end of last year. I’ve fallen in love with it. Here is what I like in no particular order: - Projects - You can configure folders/files within your project folder (e.g. build folders) to ignore in searches - Define project properties (this helps with the communication between LiveCode and Sublime Text). - Multi-column, multi-row pane layouts with tabs in each pane. - Multiple views into the same file. I like being able to work on two parts of the same file in two different panes. - Highly configurable - Language modules for just about everything under the sun. - Language modules can include python scripts which is how Sublime Text sends messages to the stack in LiveCode that is listening on a local port). - Plugins for things like git and linters. I can commit using keyboard shortcuts from within Sublime Text. I can also visually see changes to files that I’ve made since the last commit. The LiveCode linter allows me to see mistakes in my code. - Search - Searching a project shows results in a tab. I prefer this to a search window in a separate window. - Navigation - See and filter list of all handlers in current view without leaving keyboard. - See and filter list of all handlers in entire project without leaving keyboard. - Quickly open any file in a project without leaving the keyboard. - View and install language modules and plugins without everything leaving the keyboard. - Right-click on any handler that is defined in a project and navigate to it. This works even if the handler appears within quotes (e.g. send “MyHandler” to …) Overall I feel like Sublime Text reduces friction while I’m working. I feel like I can work much faster. -- Trevor DeVore Outcome & ScreenSteps www.outcomeapp.io - www.screensteps.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

The "target audience" already has its favorite text editor, each another one ;-) So I think it would only make sense to have "the basics" collected at some place: - Lists of keywords, commands, functions, properties, ... - Regex that work to determine control structures, comments, ... - already existing solutions (for whatever text editors) This would be a great help to roll ones own "syntax schemata", IMHO.

I believe if you are editing a script only stack script in the IDE then saving the script will update the script only stack file on disk. So the file will remain a text file. Integrating with github is more about using script only stacks than which editor you choose. That means scripts in a Levure app can be edited with the IDE editor. I just find it takes me less time to add features and fix bugs in a large project when working in Sublime Text which is why I use it. -- Trevor DeVore > ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

No development environment could claim to be integrated without including such an essential components. I'm not suggesting we make people hunt for their own components. I'm wondering if it makes sense to officially embrace external editors, for both utility and cost savings. > I'm suspecting that a lot of the impetus for sublime text and other > external editors has to do with professional developers' need to use > github with script only stacks.

Apologies that I didn't wrote more clearly. In all my communications on this I've tried to stress that a good editor be bundled with the LC install. But if that editor were external, then the IDE needs only one interface for managing not only the included editor, but any other editor anyone might want to use. Out of the box there's an experience at least as good as what we have now, and with the click of a Prefs button users could also choose any other editor they prefer. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Software Design and Development for the Desktop, Mobile, and the Web ambassa...@fourthworld.comhttp://www.FourthWorld.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: Script Editor fixable? (was: Configuring a Sublime Text project to notify LiveCode IDE about updates to script only stacks)
I agree with Roger, There needs to be a useful script editor bundled with livecode. I'm suspecting that a lot of the impetus for sublime text and other external editors has to do with professional developers' need to use github with script only stacks. For entry level users, the built in editor would be their first exposure and perhaps sufficient. I also suspect that folks new to programming, or non-professionals might be a target too good to "not" keep on our good side.

Re: Script Editor fixable? (was: Configuring a Sublime Text project to notify LiveCode IDE about updates to script only stacks)
I'm fine with a different editor, as long as it is "in the box". I don't want to be forced into adding components from other sites unless I choose to, like plugins, etc. The IDE should install as a complete thing (editor included). 2 cents. ~Roger On Wed, Feb 22, 2017 at 11:16 AM, Richard Gaskin via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > Roger Eller wrote: > > > On Feb 21, 2017 9:28 PM, "Richard Gaskin via use-livecode" wrote: > > > >> It's always exciting to see new ground explored with inter-app > >> communications, but with script editors I find myself wondering: > >> > >> Why not use LC's? > >> > >> If it's not on par with alternatives and for some reason can't be > >> made to be on par, why don't we just ship LC with an appropriately- > >> licensed editor, allow hooks like the ones discussed here for any > >> other editor folks might want, and spend the development time we > >> used to spend on LC's editor on other things? > > > > I'm not what you would call a power user, nor do I need an editor that > > handles multiple languages and syntax coloring variations.

I'm wondering if perhaps we could embrace that more fully. The SE is a very expensive component to maintain. If we could replace it with a third-party editor, and put a fraction of the time we used to spend maintaining and enhancing the SE into providing a mechanism to use any editor the user prefers, we'd have a better editor in the box and vast options for using other editors, and save development expense along the way. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Software Design and Development for the Desktop, Mobile, and the Web ambassa...@fourthworld.comhttp://www.FourthWorld.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

I would guess that a large number of LiveCode users are happy with the current editor. Iterating on the one that ships with LC is probably in the best interest for those users. Keeping everything within LC is definitely a smoother new user experience. Personally I don’t expect the LC team to create a script editor that meets all of my needs. They don’t have enough resources to create an editor that matches a product like Sublime Text. Sublime Text is an app dedicated entirely to editing. There are thousands of people contributing tools to Sublime Text. In addition to the general feature, there is the added bonus that I can work on my company apps that are created using Ruby on Rails, Ember, Salesforce, etc. For me using the same editor for all projects is a big productivity boost. -- Trevor DeVore Outcome & ScreenSteps www.outcomeapp.io - www.screensteps.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

I'm not what you would call a power user, nor do I need an editor that handles multiple languages and syntax coloring variations. I like the truly integrated LC editor just fine. It is great to see users providing options for those who need more than that. ~Roger On Feb 21, 2017 9:28 PM, "Richard Gaskin via use-livecode" < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > It's always exciting to see new ground explored with inter-app > communications, but with script editors I find myself wondering: > > Why not use LC's? > > If it's not on par with alternatives and for some reason can't be made to > be on par, why don't we just ship LC with an appropriately-licensed editor, > allow hooks like the ones discussed here for any other editor folks might > want, and spend the development time we used to spend on LC's editor on > other things? > > -- > Richard Gaskin > Fourth World Systems > > ___ > use-livecode mailing list > use-livecode@lists.runrev.com > Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your > subscription preferences: > http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode > ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Script Editor fixable? (was: Configuring a Sublime Text project to notify LiveCode IDE about updates to script only stacks)
It's always exciting to see new ground explored with inter-app communications, but with script editors I find myself wondering: Why not use LC's? If it's not on par with alternatives and for some reason can't be made to be on par, why don't we just ship LC with an appropriately-licensed editor, allow hooks like the ones discussed here for any other editor folks might want, and spend the development time we used to spend on LC's editor on other things? -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
