re: abbreviations

Yes, you can perform this style of completion with Komodo snippets. In Komodo the feature is called abbreviations, you find more details at:
http://docs.activestate.com/komodo/4.4/abbreviations.html#abbrev_top

or view a screencast which includes this feature:

Got it, thanks. Might be a

Got it, thanks. Might be a show stopper for me. I've using Eclipse with PDT, which is very feature rich, although I was getting sick of the occasional bug and system crash.

re: deployment feature

ToddW — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 09:14:04 -0700

Komodo does not yet have a deployment feature.

There was a similar forum post that has more details here:

Thanks ... as soon as it goes up, I'll run it by some of the Ruby things in "GitHub".

I'm not sure check must be

dafi — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 11:03:36 -0700

I'm not sure check must be done by Komodo, this can result as a limitation for macro developers but I admit it sounds reasonable.

Macros must know what type of shutdown is in progress, a close window or an application quit? So the check will be present in every macros needing to run 'finalization' code.

Maybe can be introduced a new trigger 'Unconditional Application quit'?
Ok ok it is a very ugly idea...

Just my 2 cents

heh, missed the boat

ToddW — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 10:30:35 -0700

No, the first Komodo 5.0 alpha build did not contain the new scc extensions (an oversight on my part), they will be included in the next alpha build (which is likely to release today or tomorrow).

Cheers,
Todd

Needs some discussion

I was about to file a bug, where the fix would be to have the Komodo
shutdown-trigger handler make that check. But there's a problem.

First, the shutdown-trigger trigger macro is an advisory one: if it
returns true, it aborts the shutdown process, and all the windows
should be left unclosed. The Komodo shutdown process is:

call goQuitApplication() // http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/toolkit/content/globalOverlay.js#49

if canQuitApplication() {

  appStartup.quit();

}

call goQuitApplication() // http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/toolkit/content/globalOverlay.js#4...
if canQuitApplication() {
  appStartup.quit();
}

canQuitApplication asks each window if it can be closed -- this involves
running both pre-close and the shutdown-trigger macros on each window.
More on this later.

If all of the windows are ok with closing, then
appStartup.quit() closes each window

Looking back on this, I think the shutdown-trigger macros
are either being called in the right place, or they should no longer
be able to stop the shutdown (and then they can be run when the
final window is about to be closed).

Todd,

I pulled down the alpha and I don't see git as an available scc. Did I miss something?

Thanks
Dan

I don't know much about AIR

jeffg — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 10:21:10 -0700

Are there command-line tools provided with an SDK that do these kinds of things? Specifically, the packaging bit, I think creating a stub descriptor file and shelling out to run the app should be pretty easy.

AIR

aconran — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 06:32:12 -0700

I prefer to work within Komodo for my regular development (JavaScript/HTML/CSS) but Aptana really has a few nice features for AIR development. It will allow you to create a project, setup a basic application descriptor file, run the application from the IDE and also package the application from the IDE. All with the click of a few buttons. This feature is pretty critical for myself and I'm sure for others.

Thanks Ericp, this reduces

Boa99 — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 05:29:21 -0700

Thanks Ericp,
this reduces the pain a bit.

Have fun,
Bastian

re: simple api for clipboard operations

ToddW — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 11:35:46 -0700

This sounds like a great idea to me. Dafi, can you create a Komodo bug for this and attach the patch there.

Thanks,
Todd

This is in Komodo already

ericp — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 10:18:34 -0700

Ctrl-3 comments the current line if no selection, or each
line spanning the selection.

Shift-Ctrl-3 uncomments the block.

You can easily add a toolbar for these operations, using
the toolbox.

Hello,

I’m actually perfectly fine with English. But I hope the ActiveState developers will be able to review and check in this patch. I think full localization (i.e. no hard-coded strings :)) should be one of the top features of Komodo 5.0.

I’ll stay tuned.
