Hi all, I like the 'justify' feature in 0.19. Thanks for that. I just have some comments: - it took me some time to realize that to make it work, I had to select some text first. Maybe adding 'of selected text' in the feature list on http://cream.sourceforge.net/features.html would help. - Better yet, it could automatically be applied to the current paragraph (defined as 'from last blank line to next blank line') if no text is selected. - And of course, as the TODO list says, the best would be that this can be done on-the-fly if some parameter is set, and/or that Ctrl-Q actually aligns text according to one of the four options instead of always left. As I start using it, I notice that double spaces are not removed when aligning on left or right some previously justified text. If I select the previous paragraph and choose Format->Left, nothing happens (I have auto:72 in the status line, while wrap is un-selected). And as you can see just above if you use monospace font, the last line of the paragraph is sometimes filled with blanks, although I feel it should never be the case (but I can leave with that). This seems to happen when the last line has more than a certain number of chars. The last point is that while left, center and right leave the text selected, justify 'unselects' the text. This is not coherent. Thanks again for the feature, anyway. PS: I notice that hitting Alt-F4 to bring the 'Do you want to save' dialog, then Esc, inserts <M-F4> in the text. -- Xavier Nodet "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin, 1759. |
