Re: [Lily4jedit-devel] CVS Usage

Cool... I check out once once I have the time.

btw, concerning keyhandling for the quick lily mode, i thought over it
and tried serveral options.

1. reImplementing jEdit InputHandler or adding KeyEventInceptor
2. playing with jEdit keybindings
3. use the normal swing key handling in a text field

Option 1.
I think this requires too much work. I couldnt find a way to extend
the DefaultInputHandler, and if i were to use a KeyEventInceptor, we
will need to implement calls to process all keyevents.

Option 2.
When the lily quick mode is called, lets say using a shortcut F9, 
keybinding will be mapped to jEdit actions so hiting any key gets
prcoessed by the actions. When F9 is hit again to disable
quickLilyMode, the keybindings are removed from the InputHandler.

Option 3.
This will be to add a small textField say maybe onto the LilyToolBar.
When the user wants the quickInsertMode, he clicks on the textField,
and start hitting the keys. Swing can process these keyevents easily
and text can be added into the jEdit buffer. ( I'm visualising that
the textfield is like the tiny textfield that appears when you use
Ctrl-F to find for words in FireFox)

Since now is either option 2 or option 3, it comes down to how the
user actually like to use thisQuickMode. If they want a seamless
integration with the textArea, its option 2. If the user thinks that
quickLilyMode can be done when the focus is on the textField (like
FireFox's search), its option 3. For me, I think option 3 is easilier
to implement at first. But what do you think the user likes?
