Development progress

September 17, 2009 by ale870

ZuQu Editor is slowly growing (free time is never enough!).
User interface is more stable, even if further modifications are needed.
Currently, I'm implementing a full set of newLisp API, so you will be able to fully control ZuQu Editor from your script.
Some functions available (or in development):

  • Editor size and position management
  • You can set cursor position
  • You can write some text in the editor
  • You will be able to put some "bookmarks", so you can use them, in newLisp, like a label, so you can manage text position not always using row/columns but using a label.
  • You will be able to create hyperlinks, menu, etc... to get a user feedback.
  • You will be able to make text in different colors
  • You can disable syntax highlight, matching brakets, etc...
Later, I will fix some minor problems in the GUI, and I will use newLisp (system plugins, internal procedures), to implement some exclusive features in newLisp (it means you will be able to customize even system features).


Thank you.


New prototype will come soon

August 28, 2009 by ale870

I'm completing some useful features for ZuQu:


* You will be able to use a new configuration file: zuqu.config that allow you to customize ZuQu. Now I'm implementing the capability to customize general fonts, colors, and syntax highlight colors and style (bold, italic, etc...). In the future, you will be able to update those values even from newLisp ZuQu API.


* Special newLisp tags [text] and [/text] are correctly managed. Now they do not tamper with syntax highlight.


* Windows: now newLisp process is closed correctly.

August 27, 2009 by ale870

Hello,


I just uploaded Mac OSX version of ZuQu Editor. You can find it here:

NOTE: I haven't a Mac, and I'm not experienced using that computer. So I don't know how this package works (and if it works!).
You you are a Mac user, please give me your feedback, and let me know if it works.
If something is wrong, please help me to understand what I need to do to make it work!


Thank you for your help!




How to show information about a plugin

August 27, 2009 by ale870

  • Select main menu (RMB in the editor), then select Show All.
  • Now you can see a list of all installed plugins.
  • Simply RMB on a plugin and, in the right side of the editor, will appear a small window containing information about the selected plugin!

Mouse naming conventions: LMB, MMB, RMB

LMB means Left Mouse Button.
MMB means Middle Mouse Button.
RMB means Right Mouse Button.
