Edit: UpdateNow there's a menu for opening, saving and save as (additionally to the shortcuts)
I've many ideas for new features, but I'm not sure which are important. What should I implement next?
- it is impossible to scroll, we can just go on the right or the left, and so to see a following page, we have tu click 2000 times on the right touch
- when open your readme.txt with nTxt, a weird character appears on each new line
As always, great work Quote from: lkj on October 26, 2012, 04:22:46 pmI've many ideas for new features, but I'm not sure which are important. What should I implement next?I think that a great addition would be text selection, then copy/cut and paste About text enrichment (write in bold, etc), wouldn't that break compatibility with the PC txt format ?If that doesn't, then you can add it too. If it does, according to me it is not a great loss to not have it
I don't care for text enrichment. If I want to emphasize something in a txt, I put it between /slashes/ or _underscores_.What I would like is line numbers and a differently-colored entry line (like gedit)
It's really a good program ! But you may improve those points :- it is impossible to scroll, we can just go on the right or the left, and so to see a following page, we have tu click 2000 times on the right touch- when open your readme.txt with nTxt, a weird character appears on each new lineGood luck !
So you think horizontal scrolling would be better than wrapping lines?
Should I use a different and smaller font?
The format initiated by the old and buggy txtrider, and IIRC slightly expanded by the newer and less unstable Hib-View and uView, is the de-facto standard rich text format on the TI-68k series Years before TI came up with an ultra-heavyweight XML brain damage for the Nspire (made much worse in OS 3.2), the TI-68k series had formatted text (simple #-based markup that can be edited by humans with the standard text editor of the calculator) with bold, underline, multiple font sizes, image support, thanks to its programmability and the work of third-party programmers.
I would say text wrapping or horizontal scrolling should be optional to not break stuff. I actually never have it on, but whatever. By the way, I just tested 08 and it crashes my calc on trying to save.

But 2 touches for vertical scroll would be usefull.Quote from: lkj on October 30, 2012, 11:19:02 amShould I use a different and smaller font?A smaller font would enable to see more text so I think it would be a great idea. But you can also give the choice with the menu.Could you also add the possibility of opening several texts ? And the possiblity of copying/pasting would be great !

So it's not necessary that I do something about it, because it would need a viewer and not new editor features.
What do you mean by "2 touches for vertical scroll"? Multitouch on the touchpad? I believe that's not possible hardware wise.
Do you mean opening several texts simultaneously in tabs?
