Re: Wouldn't it be neat...

Here's my original, which does mess up "undo", but it's a start. I use Command-Shift- to trigger the actions. Cmd-Shift-space, for example, picks up the text under the mouse and puts it into the current selection. I use that almost exclusively instead of copy/paste to enter variable names

TSNet - Previous request not completed

Using an Indy license, I'm getting a lot of "previous request not completed" errors when trying to POST to a server. In the past, connectivity would eventually resume when a new request was sent. With TSNet, no more requests will ever complete no matter how long you wait or what URLs you

Yes, it deselects the text AFTER it gets the selectedChunk: char x to z of field y, so you could reselect that same text. Peter Bogdanoff > On Aug 21, 2016, at 8:35 PM, Roger Guay wrote: > > Yes, the selected text is deselected when clicking a button on the Mac. Too > bad . . .

Yes, the selected text is deselected when clicking a button on the Mac. Too bad . . . I really like the simplicity of your idea. > On Aug 21, 2016, at 4:36 AM, Mike Bonner wrote: > > Do as monty suggested and hilite the chunk you want to quote and click the > button.

Re: Performance issues LC8 versus earlier versions.

Hi Alex It is always good to have them in the bug db so when know what people are running into. I know there was a big push during the LC 8 DP phase to try and get performance closer to LC 6. Actually after looking into this I wouldn't mind seeing your benchmark script as I can’t really see

Performance issues LC8 versus earlier versions.

I just discovered that part of my simple benchmark code I was doing for my photo apps was incorrect. I was being caught out (I think) by the implementation of 'copy-on-write' in LC8. My simple benchmark did (in essence) put URL("binfile:/path/to/verylargefile.jpg") into tData1 put tData1

Re: The Joy of Removing Features - Part 2: Finding / removing duplicate files / photos.

Hi Al, no, nothing as adventurous or ambitious as that :-) 'interesting' in this context is really more about where / whether the photo belongs than about the photo content itself. I'll be deciding the fate of the photos myself - and trying to find ways of doing it that make the reward

Thank you all very much for the detailed and patient information. Yes, there was a big misunderstanding about RTL/LTR by me, because language-script directions can be deliberately mixed ('bidirectional', as I read in an LC 7 introductory blog). >From that I concluded erroneously a wrong in-memory

Re: Backwards compatibility or sanity? help

Perhaps there's a misunderstanding here... If when you refer to rtl to mean rtl languages (such as Arabic) then there is nothing to do - rtl languages are stored in memory in logical order - ie the same way round as ltr languages. It is just the display which is changed. If you mean doing

Re: Wouldn't it be neat...

Trapping the commankeydown message is the easiest way to automate quoting. Rather than altering the script field behavior, I'd recommend using a front script. Just make sure you pass the keys you're not using! On Aug 21, 2016, 6:37 AM -0500, Mike Bonner , wrote: > Do as

Re: Wouldn't it be neat...

Do as monty suggested and hilite the chunk you want to quote and click the button. Though it just popped into my head.. If you're on a mac, and click a button while text is selected.. does it de-select the chunk? I seem to remember something like this in the past, but am not at my mac right now

Re: Backwards compatibility or sanity? help

Hermann, Symmetric chunks of the type you describe have issues when the delimiting rules are more complex - for example when the item delimiter is 'ab', the number of items in 'ab' is not an invariant of its read order, unless you reverse the characters in the delimiter too. When the item
