Your idea is good. Even if we don't end up with an editor, building the various pieces such as spell check and so on would be a good exercise.Slava Pestovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02768382790667979877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17087850.post-65787226951115040022007-12-12T16:09:00.000-05:002007-12-12T16:09:00.000-05:00Instead of a full text editor in Factor, how about...Instead of a full text editor in Factor, how about a universal text editor "engine" or library (and then make the text editor)? As in, how Emacs can simulate Vi with Emacs Lisp, except the "engine" isn't a full text editor itself. It would deal only with text display and keyboard commands (and perhaps a few other things), with the rest of a given editor (like spell checking, code highlighting, plugins, GUI, etc...) being normal Factor code, or DLL files linked to it. It could simulate Emacs, Vi, Xywrite, Archy, Notepad, etc... The only default setting in the engine would be, perhaps, automatic conversion from Mac/Unix/Dos text format to native for display. Emacs Lisp would probably serve as a good inspiration. Factor likely has most of the words that would make up such a "toolkit", rendering an "engine" unnecessary... Just a bit of baloney for the day :).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
