Download Intype 0.3.1.547

Warnings & Announces

• WARNING! Backup your changed files in bundles and themes folders and Uninstall previous release

Features

Multi-Document Interface (tabs)

• All necessary commands to navigate between tabs you’ll find in the menus (and much more is underway).
• Instance control has been also implemented. So from now on, Intype is forced to be single-instance, all files opened with other instance of Intype are redirected to the first one. So no more multiple Intype applications wasting your space on the task bar.
• Open Dialog supports opening multiple files at once
• Undo supports automation and will keep the multi-insert behavior until you leave it either by pressing ESC, by typing after the active region.

Multi-Selections and Rectangular Selections

• You can create multiple selection ranges with Ctrl+Click’n‘Drag. Overlapping regions will merge after you release the mouse button.
• You can create rectangular selections with Alt+Click’n‘Drag, or by keyboard using Alt+Arrows.
• When in multi-selection or rectangular-selection mode, multi-insert feature is activated. So all you type is copied to all selected regions.

Snippets & Multi-Snippets

• When in multi or rectangular selection, you can launch any snippet by keyboard shortcut or by selecting from menu. Snippets supporting wrapping selection will be launched for every range.
• Undo will keep behavior of currently active snippet until you leave the snippet mode (ESC, typing after active region, or by using multiple Undo commands)

Find & Replace

• Regular Expressions supporting all strenght of Oniguruma Regular Expression library.
• Current selection ranges (also with multi selections) are used to prefill find and replace fields. First select range for find string, then for replace string.
• You can also use clipboard history to fill the search field. First copy text to be found, then copy text for replace.
• “Replace In Selection” button in the Find dialog will naturaly work with multi-selection.

Clipboard History

• Intype now keeps history of your clipboard.
• You can use Ctrl+Shift+V to show popup menu with the history registers and pick one to insert.
• The most recent register is at the end of the menu — and is naturaly available by Ctrl+V

Word Wrap

• Word-Wrap supports aligning wrapped lines with the physical line’s indentation.

Bug Fixes

Those are some of the bug fixes reported for 0.2.x versions:

• Tab key now inserts appropriate amount of spaces relative to current column.

Bundles

Bundle Menu (info.itInfo in bundle’s folder) has been changed. Currently we are using fully-specified command name identifier in format

bundle.<Bundle_Folder_Name>.<snippet|language>.<Snippet_File_Name_Without_Extension>

Please update your menu definitions in your own bundles (perhaps using new Find & Replace functionality). Built-in bundles were updated. Extended bundles are already available thanx to Thomas Bell.

All languages are switched to Ctrl+Shift+Alt modified shortcuts.

News

• There’s also available our current short-term ToDo list.
• Documentation underway.
• Wrapping selection in snippets now works as expected.
• ESC key to clear the selection, reset mode and to hide floating dialogs.
• Ctrl+Enter mapped to command “New Line Below”

I’d like to thank to people around Intype Team, especially (listed alphabetically) Benjamin Beirnaert, Thomas Bell, Andre Medeiros and Christopher Speer.

So I believe you will like this one, because much more is on the way (many other features are ready, but need to be tested and tuned). I hope we will deliver it sooner than this one. Keep your fingers crossed for us.

• Unstable releases are available via RSS. The RSS contains all release notes including bug fixes, new features and modified features.
  • Unstable Releases RSS
• Once the release is stabilized and contains all planned features, it is moved to the Stable Releases category.

Reporting bugs

• Feel free to report any bugs or annoyances in the current unstable release.
• Please, always use UNSTABLE Releases category to report the bugs.
• Don’t forget to add version number for every bug report.

I’ve been a hardcore user of Intype for quite some time, and use on a daily basis.

Even more, as maintainer of the Ruby Installer for Windows, I’m proud to say that all the development done on it and the related projects has been done using Intype.

Just in case, the link to the new website:

http://rubyinstaller.org/

And the link to my blog:

http://blog.mmediasys.com/

Also, a nifty script to make intype open files or projects in a text-mate way:

http://github.com/luislavena/binfiles/blob/master/it.bat

I’ve been working on a series of small tutorials and creating a series of screencast. While 1.5 years old Intype has proven to be enough for that, been wondering, moving forward, if I should hold until next release to continue my work, or perhaps I can evangelize and tease others about the new release?

This question is more for Intype team than users, tried reach them several times so I hope this time brings their attention.

Regards.

as usually, we’ve had an Intype synchronization session yesterday (happens each week on Wednesday) and we’ve finalized the requirements and API sets for the JavaScript up to version 1.0. So to give you an idea on what’s going to be possible with JS, and to gain some feedback, here’s the list of the sets.

Support APIs

These APIs will extend standard JavaScript library with usable stuff you might need for extending the Intype functionality.

• Exec API — Provides set of functions to execute external applications, and to capture their output through stdout.
• HTTP API — Allows working with HTTP request/responses. We plan to wrap CURL library to allow this, and if it will turn out to be real, we’d like to provide other protocols supported by CURL.
• Dialog API — Allows using simple dialogs like messages, string input (prompt), progress, open/save file, open folder, etc.
• Debug API — Bunch of functions allowing you to use the output console and internal logging system
• File API — Reading and writing files.
• UI API — A huge support for creating UIs through the JS using our AFW framework.

Intype APIs

These will allow you to work with Intype’s core.

• Document/Editor API — Through DocumentController enables you to insert or remove text, search, work with lines, work with input behaviors and filters, etc.
• Snippet API — Allows you to work with our snippet engine in more advanced way that is allowed through the classical snippets we have now.
• Event API — Will allow to observe Intype internal events.
• Search API — Working with the search system, search history, search results, etc.
• Project API — Working with the project, project folders and project files.
• String/Unicode API — Advanced working with unicode strings, parsing the unicode data, etc.

Please note, that these APIs are not yet set for certain versions, but our plan is to provide as much as possible until 0.4.

Do you see something we forgot to include, or something you’d like to have there?

Now, I am, and I assume a few others here are, versed in C (the programming language), and would be inspired to continue developing Intype (with the help of others, of course) because it has such great potential. For this to happen, we need to get a message through to the developers: either start listening to the community, or open-source the application. It’s not fair that this application should be cock-blocked by some lazy developers.

I hope this topic will kick-up some discussion and then we can talk about a plan-of-attack.

Mark.

I took some time today to write a little Python script to convert a couple TextMate themes I’ve been eye-balling for a while, and I figured I’d share it.
Now mind you, it was just written today so it may not be perfect, but it works for me, and hopefully you :o).

You can grab it here.

If any one has suggestions to improving the app, or really, any other suggestions… they’d be appreciated :o)

However the mechanism we’re using for merging those two folders is using file name (and partial path) comparision so everything depends on a file name. Now the file names are made easily readable (like wrap_in_tags.itSnippet), because of lacking Bundle Editor functionality. With new Intype, we will deliver full bundle editor so you don’t have to mess with your files on the drive. However, for making things much safer for the merging mechanism, we would like to change the file names to universally unique identifiers. This will change all the names to something like this:

{3F2504E0-4F89-11D3-9A0C-0305E82C3301}.itSnippet {88B0AFC5-9BA4-40C2-973B-389D23CA1729}.itSnippet {E252374E-EBDA-45FD-8E0A-2AAC590D73B1}.itSnippet

Messy, isn’t it? So before you ask:

• Am I going to see these numbers in the bundle editor? —In the bundle editor, you will see all the beautiful titles (as it is in our 0.3.1.734).
• So why the heck you haven’t done this from the very first version? —We decided to go with the readable scheme until we finish the bundle editor.
• What those numbers actually mean? Those numbers are hexadecimal representations of 128-bit numbers called UUID each item will have it’s own. The number will be used to identify the item, and tells us whether this is completely new item, or it’s overriding any other item from the root bundles folder.

Now for what you get as a compensation:

• Startup performance will stay as fast as it is now.
• Safety in playing around with the bundles and sharing with your friends.
• A fully functional Bundle Editor allowing you to edit snippets, grammars, themes, bundle menus, templates, JavaScript command and other stuff to come.
• If you had any of your bundles created, we will help you converting them using the conversion tools, scripts or tutorials.

Let us know your opinion about this, and if, let us know:

1. whether you are creating your own bundle items (snippets, grammars, themes)
2. whether you are editing existing bundle items
3. how many of those edited bundle items you have

We’re looking forward for all your helpful replies and opinions.

Take care,
Intype Team

For example:
When I open source from older Opera, Intype opens file opr0ZR8A and i have to manually switch to the HTML syntax.
Opera 10.50 opens file opr0ZR8A.tmp

Solution:
Go to “\bundles\HTML.itBundle\syntaxes\html.itGrammar” and add “tmp” file type. But i’d like to see -c option and all command line options of course:)

Auto-Indentation is: when you press ENTER right after typing a {, it goes to the next nine and indents a tab. Like this:

if(something == something_else) { blabla... }

And not:

if(something == something_else) { blabla... }

There are already two posts regarding this but I didn’t really understand what they meant in the second one.

http://intype.info/forums/discussion/357/automatic-indentation/#Item_7
http://intype.info/forums/discussion/44/indentsettings/#Item_7

So it is possible or not?

Thanks.
