Joachim Kock posted a comment on ticket #240
Hi, I would like to suggest a more pragmatic solution, namely a second option prefs setting. For example, I would set UTF-8 as my first option and MacRoman as my second option, and Alpha would try first UTF-8, and it if doesn't work, try MacRoman (without presenting the dialogue to ask me to choose another encoding). It would work fine most of the time. Only very rarely would I have to open a windows file (and I would be willing to deal with that case in a more manual way, if I could have a more...

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?
-
My apologies, it turns out I was using an old Alpha without knowing it. (I don't know how that happened.) Cheers, Joachim.

All four combos behave as expected: they go or select to the beginning or end of the current /physical/ line. Is it possible that you have custom bindings defined somewhere that redefine Cmd-Left or Cmd-Shift-Left ? Could you try the following commands in the Tcl shell...

I would like to reopen this ticket. 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.

Hi again, a miminal fix is to add these three lines to tetexComm.tcl, in line 2080 (after the other entries of the patList): # The following is specifically to remove an unbalanced # message issued by the 'physics' package: lappend patList {\. Defining command [^\r\n]*} I have tested it. Would you apply the patch, Bernard? I have some trouble with svn :-( In the long run, I want to revise the whole logfile scanning mechanism. It is not fair that this error message should bother innocent users who...
-
My last sentence does not make sense, because all packages are of course input from the main file. But it is true that I will look into a better fix.
-
Thanks for reporting this and thanks for the log file. There is indeed an unbalanced parenthesis in line 565 of the log file, issued by the package as part of some message from the package. A minimal patch would consist in taking exception for this kind of message. But potentially other packages could issue messages with unbalanced parentheses and there is no point in trying to detect them in packages, since presumably packages have no errors (the parens matching is only for the sake of error browsing),...

Hi Bernard, sorry for the noise. It turns out to be a OSX bug! I just saw it also in Thunderbird. The culprit turns out to be a preference setting (in Accessibility), 'double-tap to drag', that causes the bug, system wide. (This used to be a standard OSX feature (I always used it), but at some point it was relegated to be an exotic Accessibility feature, and I guess the bug was introduced then. Until I got this newish MacBook, I never had problems with it. Now I will try out 'three-finger drag' instead.)...

I can't get this to work. (I didn't try developer check-out since July.) I download a new Alpha and copy it to Applications, open it, do developer check-out, quit. Open the copy from the diskimage and use it to edit the AlphaVersionInfo.tcl in the bundle in Applications, and set hardcoded counter to 1000. Quit, and fire up the new Alpha from Applications. The indices are being rebuilt, but after that it still gives the core start-up error.

I now realise (I think) that the problem is specific to carriage returns: in a window with a b c d e go back and insert a new line after a. Then select e. Then do Cmd-Z. The newline insertion is correctly undone, but the e remains selected.

Fantastic! Thank you so much for the effort, Bernard. I have just rebuilt and tested. Works perfectly.

I notice that the Alpha command pasteboard write produces good clean text. You said that in order to handle rectangular copy and multiple selection copy, it was necessary to use native cocoa pasteboard API, not the Alpha command. Would it be possible to make copy conditional: if the selection is simple, use the Alpha command, and if it is not simple, use cocoa API. Maybe it is not feasible, or maybe it would be too complicated --- in that case sorry for the noise.
