ta-tweaks WIKI

This is a collection of my Textadept tweaks.

Textadept is a fast, minimalist, and remarkably extensible cross-platform text editor: https://orbitalquark.github.io/textadept/

Important notes: 11.4 is the last supported version. Tatoolbar popups don't work in Wayland.

Module list:

  • actions module unify function calling from menus, keyboard accelerators and toolbar buttons / control the state of menus and toolbar buttons: checked, radio-checked and disabled / can be macro recorded, played and saved / allow to change toolbar buttons text and icon dynamically
  • ctrl_tab_mru module implements a more standard way to handle CTRL+TAB and CTRL+SHIFT+TAB
  • goto_nearest module allows quick search of the selected text. All the buffers use the same 'last searched text' and search options (based on Ultra-Edit editor's F3)
  • quicktype module types some C snippets that I frequently use + Multiline typer + Goto previous/next lua function/C-block begin/end + Buffer sort
  • project module allows to group files in projects. One view/panel is used to show the project files as a vertical list. It allows to search into project files (the results are shown in another view/panel), CTAG file search and RUN commands from the project tree view. VC: SVN/GIT/FOLDER: multiple repositories per project, compare file to HEAD/FOLDER and basic VC control panel. The project and the search results can be shown using a buffer or a toolbar panel.

tatoolbar

This code adds toolbars to textadept, allows to gray and check menu items and adds functions to compare files and strings (compiling is required / download from releases ):

Each toolbar can be used as you wish but the default implementation is as follows:

  • #0: The horizontal TOP TOOLBAR is used to show buttons and tabs
  • #1: The vertical left toolbar is used to show buttons or LISTS
  • #2: The horizontal bottom (external) toolbar is used as a replacement for the STATUS BAR
  • #3: The vertical right (external) toolbar is used as a CONFIGURATION panel
  • #4: The vertical right (internal) toolbar is used to show the MINIMAP (vertical scroll bar replacement)
  • #5: The horizontal bottom (middle) toolbar is used as a RESULTS panel
  • #6: The horizontal bottom (internal) toolbar is used as a replacement for the horizontal scroll bar
  • #7: Pop-up used to show the combobox drop-down list
  • #8..10: Pop-up toolbars for general use
