Hi Davide,

when the default wrap is set to custom, then new writer regions are created with nearly no width, thus you always need to adjust it first.

I propose either to set a customizable default width or to use the value of the last interactive width change. Thus, if you create a series of regions, you have to set the width just once.

Hello Martin Good

I agree with you. I've made a small change, now the default width for custom wrap is half page (plugin updated)

I'll see what I can do Good

It's a problem of APIs, not about the OS... Rebuilt for the latest SMath Studio stable, it should works now.

Thank you a million times over, I have only been using SMath for a couple weeks and the lack of word wrap was a huge point of frustration. It took me a minute to figure how to toggle that with this extension. Is there some place that has a basic tutorial or access guide for features this extension enables? Would it be possible to include a spell checker as well? Thanks for putting this together and out there.

In the first post of this thread there is a basic guide for this plugin. Most of the features are the same of any WYSIWYG editor, let me know if there is something missing or to better explain.

Davide, do you think it might be possible to merge your settings toolbar into the main SMath toolbar? Not the most important change, but it will make the use of plugin a little bit more convenient.

Thanks!

As for now we can't do it from plugins, I've asked Andrey some time ago to make it possible. I've added the request in the BTS so the community can vote it (SS-2290).

I love your plugin and the improvements you have added(Spell checker is great!).

I do have a request though. Although I can hold down Ctrl + arrow key to skip across words, but when I attempt to use Shift + Ctrl + arrow it only highlights a single letter!
Additionally, home and end keys work to go to the end or beginning of the current line(as does shift + Home or End to highlight), I would like to press Ctrl + End to go to the end of the current writer region(or Ctrl + Home to go to the start), and also Shift + Ctrl + End to highlight all of them.
This would make editing quite a bit faster.
Thanks

Agreed. Will be available in the next relase, as well as other improvements in keyboard shortcuts. Good

Davide,

Wanted to bring to your attention the following peculiarity of printing .sm file with a writer region to PDF. Not all text is recognized as text in the resulting PDF file (makes the PDF file non-searchable). There is a patter to the madness, so there is hope that something can be done.

Many thanks for the region! I use it all the time.

Hello Alex Good

I'm aware of that; there's not transfer of characters or text between plugins and the pdf printer, the worksheet is processed as an image and the OCR of the printer you use it may produce a better or worst result. Part of the problem however is in the plugin itself because the text is not rendered at "full quality" (because issues in GDI+ vs text measurements); this is something very complex to address, recently I've seen a possible solution/improvement that involves the use of unmanaged code from the OS (namely the technique used by this project:HTML renderer), but I don't know if this may break the plug-in compatibility in some OS (and how much work would be needed to replace the part of code involved).

From the sounds of it, the benefit would not justify the difficulty of the tweak.

Thanks for this plugin.
Questions:
  1. Is there a way to have the "toolbar" pop-up automatically? maybe override the standard smath tools?
  2. In order to open, I need to type CTRL+SHFT+W; however, for the toolbar to open, I need to press CTRL+SHIFT+S at least 3 times for the tool bar to pop-up. Is this normal?
  3. With the included formatting, would a bullet point or list object (like this Good) be something that can be implemented?

Maybe, I'll inspect this possibility.

You can support (vote) this BTS request.

I cannot reproduce (tested both with my Win7 laptop and an old WinXP PC). The first time you open the toolbar it is a little bit slower than further times because some things have to be initialized, a single CTRL+SHIFT+S should works (however I'll inspect if there are "interferences").

Maybe. As for the truth you have WriterRegion because in the very beginning I was working on a plugin to create enumerated text regions (to use as chapters' titles or simple lists), and I was looking for a way to write the text on the canvas instead of using a form; because the origins, the original plan was to have lists only via that plugin. To have full-functional lists natively in WriterRegion there are several things to do, I'll see what I can do (but because the complexity it will not be in short times).

Davide, as always, your add-in is awesome and really an integral part of my use of smath studio. Thanks for creating it and the recent updates you have performed. I had two ideas for features I would like to suggest you think about incorporating some day:
  • Rotated text(like rotating the whole writer region box, 90° intervals works for me)
  • Emojis!!! Biggrin basic static ones would be great!


Thanks Again!
