4live
|
|
a 4am & san inc hack
|
|
|
|
v1 design notes:
|
|
|
|
global hotkey (Ctrl-@) to enter 4live
|
|
|
|
40x23 editing space for notes (full 40-column text screen, minus a 1-row status bar)
|
|
|
|
immediately in editing/notetaking mode -- no separate command mode (think Emacs, not vi)
|
|
|
|
initial cursor position is top-left corner, but
|
|
*** remember cursor position across reboot *** (must persist on disk along with contents)
|
|
|
|
editor is always in overstrike mode (there is no insert mode)
|
|
- so no way to insert lines (!)
|
|
|
|
editor keyboard commands
|
|
- left/right/up/down arrows - free movement around 40x23 editing space
|
|
- <Return> - move cursor to first column of next row, with wrap around to first row
|
|
- <Esc> - close editor, return to reality
|
|
- <Ctrl-@) - same as <Esc>
|
|
- <Ctrl-S> - save notes to disk
|
|
|
|
non-goals (for v1)
|
|
- inverse text
|
|
- flashing text
|
|
- auto-right-justified text
|
|
- auto-center-justified text
|
|
- convenience functions ("draw a line of hyphens")
|
|
- insert row
|
|
- scrolling (more than 23 lines)
|
|
- paging (multiple "screens")
|
