Script and object editor oriented folk:
We have a marvelous video of Build 319 of tRev for you today:
http://reveditor.com/magic-menus-look-ma-no-hands
It shows how the new tRev Magic Menus work.
Some details...
New Magic Menu:
- We needed a pop up menu for tRev lists and code that could be 100%
keyboard initiated and controlled.
- Right-click anywhere in a stacks, cards, clips, controls or handlers
list and a magic menu will show.
- The source code field also displays a magic menu with the right-click.
- Type cmd+shift+m to make the magic menu appear/disappear without a
mouse/trackpad.
- Selection from the magic menu does what its name indicates.
- Magic menu remembers what you last did in any magic menu.
- Once open, magic menu can be operated with arrow keys to change
selection and return to accept a choice.
- Once open magic menu can be run using Quick Keys
- Escape key will close magic menu without making a choice.
Colorize while typing enhancements:
- when you drag and drop text within the source code field, it now
colorizes the dropped text.
- when you type a matched quote within an unmatched parenthesis, the
colorization works properly.
General enhancements
- home, end, page up and page down keys now passed to Revolution for
handling.
- the handler list selection will change to reflect the new selections
in the code field when you do the following:
+ do a find from the find pane
+ type command+up/down arrow
+ type the home, end, page up, page down keys on extended keyboards
- when in Rev and property inspector is in front, type escape to
dismiss it
Windows:
- Always start tRev first.
- Make certain the Rev IDE user extensions preference points to "My
Revolution Enterprise" (use appropriate license type)
Best,
Jerry Daniels
