Zaurus Port Of Treeline, Out the door Options

[zenyatta]

Hi all,

I started working on a Zaurus port of the fine TreeLine outliner early last year but later got distracted. I haven't touched it in about 7 months now and it isn't really ready for a release but I do use it daily and absolutely can't do without it, despite the bugs. As I have trouble finding the time to finish it, I have decided to release it in its crude present state. Either someone will pick it up or enough users will find it promising enough to nag me into activity Or maybe it won't interest anyone, which is fine. In any case, it is there, on my homepage.

Cheers,
z.

That looks cool. Maybe you could help me too.

I would like a shortcut key added to the dictionary on the SL-C3000. One that deletes the text in the box when focusing.

If I understand you correctly, you want to press a shortcut to erase the entire currently edited text? It's possible but a little complicated:

A problem with shortcuts is that they conflict with things you may want to type into the edited area (for example, "Shift+S" equals not just File > Save but also capital "S"). This would also be a problem if we used the Fn key for shortcuts ("Fn+S" equals "@").

Therefore, all shortcuts are disabled during text editing. Excluding one shortcut from this rule is possible, although a bit cumbersome. The thing is, can you find a shortcut that wouldn't interfere with your typing? If you can just let us know and I will write a patch.

I'm currently without a Zaurus (I lost my beloved SL-5500 if you can believe that) so there is a little problem with testing. But this is a relatively minor change, I could even get it right the first time

Cheers,
z.

P.S. Of course, C3000 probably has a third meta key which would make the whole thing much more feasible. If anyone feels like donating or lending a specimen feel free to contact me
