[Alphacocoa-devel] Search in Filesets

[John M. <joh...@ed...>]

Hi,
  I’m having a problem searching in file sets. I did not find any tickets discussing this problem. Before I spend a lot of time researching the problem, I would like to know if it is already on the developers’ radar.

  The problem is twofold. First, I seem to have to reselect the fileset to search each time I enter the Find dialog. It would be nice if the selection persisted from one instance of the search to the next.

  Second, and much more importantly, searching inside a fileset seems to change how the Regexp search works. Simple searches (those not using any grep at all and some using just simple grep) seem to work fine. However, a somewhat more complex search fails completely. It does not find anything in the current window and does not find anything in any of the other files in the fileset.

  For what it’s worth, I am using TeX filesets in Alpha 9.1 running on a 2014 MacBook Pro under Mojave (10.14.6). The “more complex” search that is giving me trouble right now has (?s)(monetary)(( +)| *(\n) *)(polic[^\s]+) in the Find field and \1-\5\4 in the Replace field. The response I get in the status bar is “Can’t find '(?s)(monetary)(( +)| *(\n) *)(polic[^\s]+)'; and there are no more files to search.” A partial work around to this problem is to press command-G after I get that error, which takes me through all instances of the search in that file. However, that does not cycle through the other files in the fileset. Finally, this problem does not seem to be restricted to filesets. Any selection In the Multiple Files panel seems to cause this problem.

Best,
John

[Alphacocoa-devel] Alpha Release 9.1 (Peacock)

[Bernard D. <bde...@or...>]

Hi all,

I'm pleased to announce the release of a new version of Alpha. This is Alpha 9.1 ("Peacock <file:///Users/bernardo/Workspace/Devel/Code/AlphaCocoa/Output/Release/9.1/AlphaStar.html>") for Mac OS X 10.11 or greater (El Capitan, Sierra, High Sierra, Mojave, Catalina). 

All versions of Alpha are named after a star. So, for this new release, meet Peacock <https://alphacocoa.sourceforge.io/AlphaStar.html>, which is α Pavonis, the α star of the Pavo constellation. 

Beware: the Maverick (10.9) and Yosemite (10.10) versions of OS X are no longer supported. The latest version of Alpha running on these two systems is 9.0.3. 

See at the end of this message, the main changes contained in this new release. 

Please, read the release notes which will be displayed the first time you launch Alpha and can be accessed later from the Help ↣ Developer Help menu. 

Here is the URL to download the disk image:

If you find problems with the application, don't hesitate to post bug reports. They are essential to keep track of the deficiencies. See Alpha's Bug Tracker <https://sourceforge.net/p/alphacocoa/tickets/>. 

Thank you for using Alpha. 
Cheers, 
Bernard
 <>Changes from previous version

New help search facility via the Search Field located at the top of the Help menu.
New package Character Palettes <https://alphacocoa.sourceforge.io/CharacterPalettesHelp.html> that provides palettes to insert special characters.
New package Box Drawings <https://alphacocoa.sourceforge.io/BoxDrawingsHelp.html> that provides commands to draw a frame around a text selection or draw table borders for a tabulated block of text. It also features a Box characters palette.
New LaTeX palette in TeX mode. It is a multipage palette that displays the mathematical symbols and inserts the corresponding LaTeX macro.
The Special Characters submenus are now dynamic: characters with an uppercase form are obtained by pressing the Shift (⇧) key while the menu is opened. There is also a new submenu called User Characters to display user defined characters: the list of characters that will appear in this submenu is specified via the new User Special Characters global preference.
New package Text Alignment that provides commands to align blocks of text (center, left, right).
New internal library Country Flags that provides commands to get the special characters for country flags.
New menu item Go To Previous Position in Go To submenu. Bound to ⌃⌥P.
Package Latex Sizes has been renamed Latex Macros Cycle <https://alphacocoa.sourceforge.io/LatexMacrosCycleHelp.html>.
The [view] <file:///Users/bernardo/Workspace/Devel/Code/AlphaCocoa/Current/Libraries/AlphaTcl/Help/Reference/view.html#cmd_view> command now allows you to create CollectionView <https://alphacocoa.sourceforge.io/Reference/view.html#view_collectionview> objects which are ordered collections of data items displayed in a customizable layout.
New keys textContainer, textFrame, bottomBarHeight, topBarHeight, leftMarginWidth for the [getWinInfo] <https://alphacocoa.sourceforge.io/Syntax/getWinInfo.html> command.
Revised windowZoom package (version 1.3). Thanks Joachim!
New options -format and -locale for [mtime] <file:///Users/bernardo/Workspace/Devel/Code/AlphaCocoa/Current/Libraries/AlphaTcl/Help/Syntax/mtime.html#cmd_mtime>.
The [mtime] <https://alphacocoa.sourceforge.io/Syntax/mtime.html> and [now] <https://alphacocoa.sourceforge.io/Syntax/now.html> commands now use the Unix epoch by default rather than the Mac epoch. The [now] command has a -mac option for compatibility.
New subcommand [view children] <https://alphacocoa.sourceforge.io/Reference/view.html#cmd_view_children> to list the children views of a given view or root window.
New mode Swift to support the editing of Swift programming files.

I have files which *somehow*  have mixed line ending markers. When these are opened in Alpha:

1. Alpha does not display the inconsistent line termination warning (it does display a wrap paragraph warning).
2. Alpha's window substitutes '\n' for '\r' so that a regexp search fails to find the '\r' characters which are present in the file.

It would be great to have this fixed.

AlphaX used to display the size of a file every time it was saved in the status bar.

For me, this is by far more handy than the menu item "word count", because I dont even need to touch the keyboard or mouse. Any chance to see the feature in AlphaCocoa?

With a very long line extending beyond the visible area, suppose you are near the beginning, and press Cmd-[ to indent the line. The indentation works correctly, and the cursor position is correctly preserved, but the focus shifts to the end of the line (which is so far right that the beginning of the line is then invisible.

[Alphacocoa-devel] [alphacocoa:tickets] #181 Cmd-arrow should follow visual line, not logical

[Joachim K. <jk...@us...>]

I still see this. Cmd-right and Cmd-shift-right work as expected, but Cmd-left and Cmd-shift-left still jump all the way to the start of the logical line, rather than following the visual line. (This is in 9.0.7.)

The culprit turns out to be [beginningOfLineSmart], which in turn relies on the Alpha command [beginningOfLine], which only works on logical lines. Is there some alternative that can be used instead, to get to the beginning of the visual line?

Re: [Alphacocoa-devel] windowZoom package

[Bernard D. <bde...@or...>]

Hi Joachim,

I have tested the new windowZoom package which works nicely!

I just wanted to mention a few details in the proc [winZoom::trueZoom].
You get the geometry of the current window using [getGeometry]. I think you should rather use [getGeometry -c] where the -c option means that you get the content view’s frame: this is the entire window minus the toolbar and title bar.
This contents rect includes the top control bar (with the popups) and the bottom message bar (with the row and column indicators). Their height is 22 and 15 pixels respectively. BTW this is the 22 pixels you asked me about a few days ago (I hadn’t realised at the moment).
You could make more precise calculations with these values.
Then at the end, to resize the window, you could use the [setGeometry] command which also supports the -c option.

In order to make things more accurate, I have now defined two new keys for the[ getWinInfo] command: topBarHeight and bottomBarHeight so that you don’t need to hardwire the values 22 and 15 pixels. This new command returns the exact value (in particular, it would return 0 for a window created without a top or bottom bar). I can send you a development release of Alpha 9.1 if you want to play with this.

Cheers,
Bernard

Re: [Alphacocoa-devel] Technical question about window geometry

[Joachim K. <ko...@ma...>]

Hi Bernard,

thanks for looking into this. It is not
worth spending more time on it.
The offsets I found empirically work very
well, so I'll just leave it at that.
I will soon (well, at some point) commit
a revision of the winZoom stuff.

Cheers,
Joachim.

Unfortunately this margin does not have a fixed width: that depends on the number of lines. If there are less than 10 lines, the margin is large enough to display 1-digit numbers, if it is between 10 and 99 it is large enough to display 2-digits numbers, etc.

Re: [Alphacocoa-devel] Technical question about window geometry

[Bernard D. <bde...@or...>]

Hi Joachim,

I’ve been looking at this and my guess is that the horizontal offset you need to add is due to the line numbers margin. Unfortunately this margin does not have a fixed width: that depends on the number of lines. If there are less than 10 lines, the margin is large enough to display 1-digit numbers, if it is between 10 and 99 it is large enough to display 2-digits numbers, etc.
This certainly complicates your calculations…
If necessary I could let the core provide the information about the line margin width (via getWinInfo).

Now vertically, as I said before I think the offset is the title bar’s height (possibly augmented by the toolbar’s height).

What do you think ?

Re: [Alphacocoa-devel] Technical question about window geometry

[Bernard D. <bde...@or...>]

Hi Joachim,

II do not know exactly why this is so. I also observed this when I used the -shrink option: we do not quite get what we want, but I never took the time to understand the problem. I will look at this more closely and try to solve this problem.

Your question about getGeometry is different. The difference between getGeometry and getGeometry -c is the window decoration: vertically this is the height of the title bar. I guess that you have hidden the toolbar. When the toolbar is there then the difference is 65 instead of 22.

More on this later.

Cheers, 
Bernard

[Alphacocoa-devel] Technical question about window geometry

[Joachim K. <ko...@ma...>]

Hi Bernard,

I am revising the windowZoom package.

When I wrote it many years ago for AlphaX,
I had to use some ad hoc home-made font-
metrics tables valid only for Monaco :-(
In AlphaCocoa, this looks childish, as we now have
getWinInfo charWidth and getWinInfo lineHeight :-)
Really cool -- it simplifies a lot.

My question is about two offsets that seem
required. I have determined them empirically:
12 horizontally and 63 vertically.  So that
the final calculation of window dimensions to
hold $rowNum lines of $colNum chars (at a given
font) is:

	# Calculate new geometry
	set x [getWinInfo charWidth]
	set y [getWinInfo lineHeight]
	set newWidth [expr {$x * $colNum + 12}]
	set newHeight [expr {$y * $rowNum + 63}]

However, I cannot figure out how to explain
these offsets. For example, the difference betweem
getGeometry and getCeometry -c gives a vertical
difference of 22 (and no horizontal difference).
I have tried with line numbers turned off, but
it does not seem to make any difference.

Do you know how to determine these offsets in
a more formal way, and what they depend on?

Thanks! -- and no hurry.

Cheers,
Joachim.

Re: [Alphacocoa-devel] regex search and replace

[Bernard D. <bde...@or...>]

Hi Eberhard,

Do I understand correctly: you mean you want to replace every occurence of 
    <mailto:some_email>
by
    some_email

It this is the question, then:

- put the following regular expression in the Search field of the Find dialog 
<mailto:([^@]+@[^>]+)>


- type
\1
in the Replace field

- check the Regexp check box

- click on the Replace All button if you want all of them to be replaced
OR click Search Window and replace one by one by pressing cmd-J on every match


HTH,
Bernard

That should have read "...can NOT find out..." of course.

[Alphacocoa-devel] regex search and replace

[Dr E. W L. <el...@li...>]

Hi,

I can do a search with regular expression, as in something like

	<mailto:(.*\@.*\..*)>

which will find

	<mailto:el...@li...>

but I can find out whether and if to replace (all occurrences of) the
above so that the outcome is the obvious

	el...@li...

ie replace the whole regex with $1, and would appreciate pointers to the
manual if this is possible.

If it does not exist, would that bea useful feature?

greetings, el
