# PyEdPro README
## Python editor.
Welcome to PyEdPro. This is modern multi-platform editor. Simple, powerful,
configurable, extendable. Goodies like macro recording / playback, spell check,
column select, multiple clipboards, unlimited undo ... makes it an editor
that I use every day.
Working and tested platforms currently are:
Win 7 .. Win 10 ...
Centos 6 .. 7 Ubuntu 14 ... 16 ... 20.x (should run on any linux )
Windows (Native) plus MSYS2, Mingw,
Raspberry PI 3, Raspberry PI 4, ...
Mac ** Some functions are disabled - in particular async processing
Pyedpro functions in a near identical manner
on Linux / Windows / Mac / Raspberry PI
Pyedpro has:
o Macro recording/play,
o Search/replace,
o Functional navigation,
o Fomment/string spell check,
o Full spell check, spell suggestion dialog
o Auto backup,
o Persistent undo/redo, (undo beyond last save)
o Auto complete, auto correct
o
o ... and a lot more.
It is fast, it is extendable. The editor has a table driven key mapping.
One can easily edit the key map in keyhand.py, and the key actions
in acthand.py The default key map resembles gedit / wed / etp / brief
The editor can be run from pip; from single packed executable; from git
directory, and from packaged appimage.
### Quick start:
pip install pyedpro
The images are available from the git largefile subsystem and on release.
[See Doxygen generated Documentation on GitHub Pages](https://pglen.github.io/pyedpro/html/)
### Platforms
I mainly run it on Ubuntu, and in Win32 / MSYS2, some Fedora, Windows 10,
(x64) and the Raspberry-Pi. It behaves consistently on all these platforms,
it is an absolute joy to edit in a different platform without the learning
curve of new keystrokes. If you want an editor that works the same way in
all your workspaces, PyEdPro is the one.
PyEdPro now is working OK on the Mac M1. I installed homebrew, and got
it to fire up. It was not a trivial exercise, as the Mac PygGOject did not do
half of the stuff as the Linux version did.
No asynchronous anything, segmentation faults everywhere. (which python
is not suppose to have)
The font rendering was messed up, but I got fixed by replacing Pango's
get_pixel_size() with get_size() / PANGO_UNIT. [Suspect int vs float accuracy issues]
Some async functions like the function updater is disabled, but it can be done
manually. (right click on doc -> rescan) All in all the Mac's PyGobject is not a great
subsystem, hopefully time will be kind here.
** tried the M1 ... Sun 03.Apr.2022 most of it worked; no async processing
as in Glib the timer functions bombed. Great hardware - bad PyGobject support. However
if an editor with familiar key op is needed -- most of it works. And no
destructive errors.
### History:
(this is extracted, use git log for up-to-date information)
Sat 11.Feb.2023 -- Pyedpro Notes export / import and the new pydbase data base
Thu 27.Oct.2022 -- Restored system menu processing (Alt-f [File Menu] and such)
Sat 10.Sep.2022 -- the system shortcuts (ctrl-s ctrl-o) are re-done by hand
Sat 03.Sep.2022 -- published on pip
Thu 21.Apr.2022 -- release issued
Wed 16.Mar.2022 -- dialog for read only file, export notes ... lots of other stuff
Wed 01.Dec.2021 -- on search, descending one dir level with Ext. Search
Sun 05.Sep.2021 -- made it function on the Mac M1 laptop - !@#$$%
.... -- lot of changes, see github log
### New:
3.3.1 Fri 15.Mar.2024 -- corrected for changes in the public pydbase interface
3.3.5 Wed 10.Apr.2024 -- Relocated search window for better screen allocation
Partial list, some highlights;
Added separate interpretation for right control keys, so exotic items
like 'insert html comment' can be tied to a shortcut key;
Added drag / drop source / target. New keystroke combo for keyboards
without home / pgup etc ... Implemented html preview. Just right click on
the file body, an select the corresponding menu item.
Implemented markdown preview. Right click ... menu
Implemented M4 preview. The files are pulled in from the current directory (of the macro),
and expanded with the m4 macro processor. The results than are previewed
in an html window. (Yes, head and footer are now one file for the whole site,
the way it should be) Right click ... and look for: Filter to M4
Added drag and drop. Accepts file name from file manager, and accepts clipboard text.
The dropped content is inserted where the editor's caret is. (not where the cursor is)
The caret is moved to the end of insertion.
This (above / below) list is an extract, please see git log for complete history.
PyEdPro now has buffer diff. Right clicking on the file's tab header presents a menu.
One may select the diff source, the diff destination (or target). When the source and
target is selected, a diff window slides in from the right. The diff window presents
the diff of the two buffers, relative to 'target'. The three buffers navigate in sync,
one may inspect them and edit the source and the target. The position sync is somewhat
intelligent by guessing the correct position of the cursor on the current buffer.
One can re-diff the buffers by right clicking on the tab header, and select re-diff.
Please note, that this diff is somewhat simple, as it marks only --del --ins points.
Again, its simplicity yields benefits that are surprizing. For instance; hand
merging small changes become more visual. And yes, it is no substitute for a real diff.
The diff buffer (grayed) is read only. To refresh the diff, select
from the tab's right click menu 'Re-diff buffers'. The diff-ing can be stopped from the
same right click menu, by selecting 'Stop Diffing'. The diff algorithm is crude, but
the simplicity has its advantages. Speed and predictability.
PyEdPro.py has macro recording/play, search/replace, one click function navigation,
auto backup, undo/redo, auto complete, auto correct, syntax check, spell suggestion
... and a lot more.
The recorded macros, undo / redo information / editing session detail persists
(and reloaded) after the editor is closed.
The spell checker can check text, code and code comments. The parsing of the code is
rudimentary, comments and strings are spell checked. (Press F9) The code is filtered
out for Python and 'C', which assures most derivative languages have correct
code spell code check. (.sh .php .cpp) The whole file can be checked in full text
spell mode. Press (Shift-F9) The spell checker is executed on live text. (while typing) The
re scan period is set to 300 millisec, an optimum between resource usage and real time feel.
Syntax highlighting. Again, a simpler parser for speed. Succeeds in its mission with
giving great visual candy effect without speed impact.
PyEdPro is fast, it is extendable, as python lends itself to easy extending. The
editor has a table driven key mapping. One can easily edit the key map in
keyhand.py, and the key actions in acthand.py
If you encounter blank screen after start, cairo is not installed. The terminal interface
will complain, but if you start from the GUI, you can see the message in the
log window. (Menu->Windows->Show_Log) To install cairo type 'sudo apt install cairo'.
The default key map resembles gedit / wed / etp / brief. Full ASCII;
Any (fixed) font can be configured. No arrangements in the program for variable pitch fonts.
See KEYS file for the list of keyboard shortcuts or press F1 in the
editor or look at the file in pyedlib/KEYS. This file is also called up when the main menu
Help -> 'KeyHelp In Doc' is called up.
If you highlight a word, and press F2, Zeal will open with the item searched and
highlighted. Shift F2 will do the same with Devhelp. This is what I use to see the
API of PyGobj. F1 will call up the PyEdPro's help screen. Shift-F1 will open
DevDocs. Naturally, Devdocs/Devhelp/Zeal need to be installed for these to function.
On initial start, PyEdPro shows a left pane and a top pane. The left pane
is for function summary and the top pane is for double view of the same file.
(to see the caller and the called [function] at once) These panes can be hidden with
the mouse by dragging on their handle, or by the key combination Alt-Q (Shift-Alt-Q for
the left pane) The first file window's settings are saved for the next startup.
PyEdPro remembers a lot about the editing session. Loaded files, cursor positions,
fonts, font size, colors, search strings, goto numbers, undo / redo info,
window positions ... and more.
This is all stored in the ~/.PyEdPro directory. You may safely delete that
directory to start PyEdPro with no memory of what has been done.
PyEdPro also keeps a stack of original files in the ~/PyEdPro/data directory. The file
path is treated as a name hash, so it is a flat list. For example this file is known to the
PyEdPro hash function as '754ad753_. Under this hash name there are a multitude of items.
The original file, the numbered backups (from _1 to _9, circular) the undo file,
redo file, the auto save (.sav) file, the backup file ).bak) from this session start
... and more.
The way to find the file's hash is to switch buffers and the current buffer's hash
is displayed on the status line.
Starting PyEdPro with no command line arguments will put you back to the
previous session, exactly where you left off. Files, positions undo-s and all.
The editor will work on all PyGobject platforms, and can open UNIX and Windows files
transparently. It will save the file as the current platform's native CRLF
convention dictates. CRLF setting can also be forced.
Developer's note: in order to make PyEdPro multi platform, we save
the configuration info into a SQLite database in the ~/.PyEdPro directory.
SqliteBrowser may be a tool to see what is going on.
