<br>Let me say that I had no intention of bashing the mini. I love how it's<br>coming along, I used it alot and eventually it'll be the app to use.</blockquote><div><br>Oh, the Mini is incomplete, that much is true, but it says so on the package. I don't think we can expect a alpha release of a experimental editor to measure up to The Two Big Editors I Dare Not Mention In Fear Of Getting Executed Over The Order I mention Them In ;¬).

</blockquote><div><br>No? I just made sure it does on my Xp laptop. I'd call that a bug if it doesn't work for you.<br> <br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
> and you can<br>> highlight using [shift ] + [cursor keys], then copy&paste using the<br>> regular hotkeys, or am I missing something?<br><br>No, that's better than I remembered...</blockquote><div><br>There was a very early release where copy-paste-cut had non standard shortcuts, at least on Windows they were. Perhaps you only tested a very, very early one?
<br> <br>What we shouldn't forget is that the big editors are intimidating, writing your own syntax highlighting file is a non-trivial task if ChucK is the first programing language you see and the Mini also saves non-hardcore computer users from the terrors of the command line.
<br><br>Even in it's modest current state I think the Mini has a place where it's the tool of choice already.<br><br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>Well it's hard to live without search. Forgot goto-line. Also more<br>integration like click on error/warning in console and goto the exact<br>place in editor (open file if not open) would be good for the mini.</blockquote>
<div><br>Yes! I requested that too, a lot more could be done with the integration, not just for traditional things but also chuck specific matters. *cough*cs style running code editing*cough*<br><br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>That's gonna be hard to beat :-)</blockquote><div><br>Well, Spencer *did* mention that's on his list....<br> </div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>Sure. But other things that can be done with vanilla chuck + scripting<br>(simple bash will do) are hard to to in any one ide.</blockquote><div><br><br>Indeed, I use .bat files to call ChucK code with suitable settings for the buffer and multiple outs. Still, you can send system calls using ChucK (I think it's called
STD.system() ) and so call BASH or whatever so that could be done from the Mini as well, if needed or desired. <br></div><br><br>Yours,<br>Kas.<br></div>
