add_a_separate_buffer_number_line_to_gui

2008-02-17T14:08:14+02:00

I've been trying to come up with a sensible way of reporting errors to the user. Obviously this has to be done consistently - errors should always appear in the same place on the screen. The best place to put them would be in the status line at the bottom. However, this means that sometimes the “Switching to buffer x” message overwrites the error, and vice-versa.

autosave_behavior

2008-02-11T21:25:43+02:00

Discuss here about the behavior of the autosave feature, where it should save the files etc Discussion Adding ”-C” option could be useful for completly clean the temp folder where autosave file are generated, the files are removed after a “are you sure?” question windows popup, pyroom exits afer cleaning up (removing tmp*) his temp folder (/var/temp/pyroom)

code_reorganization

2008-02-18T17:43:52+02:00

I have posted an up to date branch of my first attempts at reorganizing the code. It also incorporates two of my other branches: restoring an old session and checking a buffer for unsaved changes. I intend to add the autosave branch to it later on today.

Information for PyRoom contributors: * Uploading a branch to Launchpad * To run PyRoom in “verbose” mode, use the ”-v” command-line switch.

error_handling

2008-07-09T09:23:36+02:00

As a plugin or core author, you might want to show error messages to the user. Doing so is very easy: raise PyroomError('Here goes your error message') The user will then see a dialog box with the value of the exception you just raised: When to raise exceptions One of PyRoom's goals is to be as distraction free as possible. You should avoid to raise exceptions of minor importance, just to notify the user of something. If there's an error and the user needs to know, go ahead and raise the …

Please feel free to leave your comment, suggestion, question ... * I opened this page so I may thank all the developers for making this wonderful application. I am a journalist and was looking for something like this for a long time. Using Ubuntu this was not easy - vi, vim, nano running in the terminal just did not do the job. Fortunately I stumbled upon Pyroom. I think it has a future and would like to participate in any way possible. Am not a pr…

pyroom_goals

2008-06-03T23:00:54+02:00

Let's define our goals, assign priorities and define a clearer line between what's in and what out of scope. Primary Goals Provide a Fullscreen text editor The main goal of Pyroom is to provide a fullscreen text editor, without a visible menu or toolbar.

readme

2008-11-23T00:09:10+02:00

PyRoom is a fullscreen simple text editor, without a toolbar, a menubar or anything that would distract the user from his most important task: writing. Dependencies PyRoom depends on Python, PyGTK and gtksourceview. Please refer to your system documentation for information on how to install these modules if they're not currently available.

themes

2010-02-19T22:40:34+02:00

Themes for PyRoom come as ini-style configuration files, to be read by an instance of SafeConfigParser. The default syntax is key = value How to create a theme The easiest way to create a theme is to use our preferences gui and click “save”. Your new theme file will live in $XDG_DATA_HOME/pyroom/themes, usually ~/.local/share/pyroom/themes on most Linux distributions. Or, if you prefer, you can create or edit your theme files by hand.

uploading_a_branch_to_launchpad

2008-02-21T18:00:07+02:00

If you have some code that you would like to contribute to the project, probably the easiest way to go about doing so would be to add a branch on launchpad. Being able to upload a branch You must have a registered account on Launchpad. Sounds silly but it's true.

uploading_to_launchpad

2008-02-17T10:14:27+02:00

I think that the official releases (0.1) should only have one person who can upload to them, but with the development Trunk, I think it would make more sense if people (who are members of the pyroom team) could upload directly to the trunk. For example, I have just cleaned up some code which makes the readability a bit easier, but isn't enough to justify a branch in itself.

2010-01-19T20:39:31+02:00

PyRoom strives to be as much distraction free as it gets. This implies a low profile of bells and whistles in both GUI and feature set. Implementing a plugin system sounds like it couldn't fit into that description. Yet, a plugin system can be necessary for PyRoom for various reasons
