Hi all. Just want to call attention to "zen-coding", a snippet system for writing HTML code really fast, in a way we know from CSS. It goes like this: 1 div#content>h1+p And get's expanded to: 1 <div id="content"> 2 <h1></h1> 3 <p></p> 4 </div> There's a lot more to it. If your're interested, check out the nice article over at Smashing Magazine I just read: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/11/21/zen-coding-a-new-way-to-write-html-code/ Just want to share, would be interesting to have support for this in scribes too. Zen Coding is hosted on Google code: http://code.google.com/p/zen-coding/ |

One could easily write a plugin for Par. Or one could just enhance the current paragraph plugin to make it more sophisticated. I think plugins designed for scribes would provide a better and coherent experience than piping together random external programs. Maybe a general pipe plugins could be used temporarily until a specialized plugin is writing for the operation the user wants to perform. 2009/5/24 Steffen Klemer <mo...@gm...>: > Am So, 24.05.2009 um 16:41 schrieb Mystilleef <mys...@gm...>: > >> I'm open to this idea.

The development version of Scribes has a quick open plugin. It's experimental and buggy. |

Didn't know about par. It's great! I added it as an "action"[0] in Sylpheed[1], which is my email client. This got me to think: how about having something like that in Scribes? It worked like this for adding 'par': 1. I go to Configuration/Actions 2. I name the action 'par' 3. The command line for this action is "| par |". The first '|' means the body of the message is sent to the command. The last '|' means the output of the message will replace the message being edited. 4. I register the action by pushing the 'Register' button. So now, when I'm writing/replying an email, I have a 'par' action in the Tools/Actions menu. If I use it, it will reformat the message I'm writing/replying using par! So what do you think of a "custom actions" feature for Scribes?

I suppose many scribes users and deveopers saw this? http://www.icecrew.nl/files/gedit/quickopen.ogv I think it is similar to a textmate feature. It's a bit like scribes' document switcher also, but with filter-as-you-type, and gedit uses it both to switch documents and to open new files. I really like this interface but I've often thought that it should be part of the desktop rather than a particular app, and should be used to switch between windows and tabs, open files and launch applications, etc., a bit like Gnome Do. |

You still need to recompile all your python applications to use Python 2.5. Otherwise, they'll use Python 2.6 by default. It is true that you can install multiple version of the Python interpreter on the same machine. But to have a python application use a particular version, you have to recompile that application with the version of Python you want to use. Source based distros allow you to do this easily with a Script. As far as I know, it's not possible to do on binary based distros, like Ubuntu. |

Hmm, no I think you can install Python 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6 alongside eachother on Ubuntu without any problem. Install the package `python2.5` then if you run `python` you will get python 2.6 but if you run `python2.5` you will get Python 2.5. You can do it with Java 5 and 6 also, and I guess probably others. |

Scribes 0.3 supports Pyhton 2.5 only. Ubuntu 9.04 uses python 2.6. I don't recommend you install python 2.5 on it. If you do so, you have recompile all the python packages on your system. Instead use the development version of Scribes on Ubuntu 9.04. |

It should be simple to install the python-2.4 or python-2.5 package in Ubuntu 9.04, then replace the command of your scribes menu entries and shortcuts with `python-2.5 /usr/bin/scribes`, and additionally alias 'scribes' to that command in the shell. Template expansion seems to work fine with Scribes 0.3 and Python 2.5. |

Thanks for the feedback. Ubuntu uses Python 2.6. Only the development branch supports Python 2.6. That's the reason for the issues. Links for the new templates and themes are provided below. New Themes: http://scribes.sf.net/gtksv2-themes.tar.bz2 New Templates: http://scribes.sf.net/templatesV2.tar.bz2 Also read my blog for more information. http://mystilleef.blogspot.com/2009/02/keeping-track-of-scribes-04.html Thanks |

Hi there, I've just updated Ubuntu which uses Scribes version 0.3.3.3-4 (I don't actually know if it's been updated). The problem occurs when I try to use the snippet feature: I type a keyword, it gets highlighted, and I then press the Tab key which erases the keyword and that's it. I end up getting nothing at all. If I go to the template editor everything is in place (I've got these templates: http://scribes.sourceforge.net/templates.tar.bz2). If my description is not clear, I could make a small video. Anyway, I removed the scribes package and branched lp:scribes which works great, except it doesn't get forked anymore (sorry if that's not the right expression) when I run it from a shell (which I do a lot). To have it fork I've modified the SCRIBES/Main.py file, so the "__fork_scribes" function gets called at the end of the "__open" function, not sure if it's the right way to do it, but seems to work (I'll dive into scribes source code when I find some time). -- Gonzalo Delgado <gon...@gm...> http://djangopeople.net/gonzalo/ |

Hi all, the list is rather quiet nowadays, so I thought I would ask you what you think about some ideas I had for scribes. 1. today I discovered the par command line program (http://www.nicemice.net/par/) and wanted to share it with you. Maybe there's an easy way (or someone willing) to write a scribes-plugin to deliver it's funcionality for scribes. It would be useful when using scribes to write mail and usenet posts. 2. A cheatsheet-like help system for keyboard shortcuts like gmail's (pressing the '?'-key with the keyboard shortcuts activated - see attachment) would be nice to have, since scribes usage begs to use keyboard shortcuts to increase productivity. I happen to always forget a shortcut and having to look it up in the gnome help system (which loads kind of slow on my system) every time is rather painful. IMHO, this would decrease the learning curve. Just my 2 ct. Rafael |

First things first. Thank you for a great work on Scribes. My 2 bits I am a web developer and have to work with different languages. PHP, Python, CSS, JavaScript. All generally having different indent preferences. So I was thinking if it would be possible to specify indent/tab/space settings on file type basis. I think it would be a great feature.

Hello, These are great ideas. Scratchpad and Scribes have a lot in common in terms of delivering an uncluttered text editing experience. And I like many of the unique direction the project is taking. That's something I've always tried to do with Scribes. Point 1 is a great idea that I'd like to implement. Point 2 is complicated because the new search system in Scribes (in the experimental branch not development branch) provides all kinds of options to change the behavior of find as you type. So I don't think scribes needs this. Point 3 I think Scribes already does this or something similar. Point 4 This has been on my todo list for a while, just haven't gotten around to doing it. Great ideas though.

Hello, I think this problem has been fixed in the development version. Thanks for the feedback.
