in Quirky 7.2 64, the script to launch the VTG needs the

#31 Post by Puppus Dogfellow »

the vtg function wasn't working as smoothly in quirky as it was in precise--things that should've closed didn't or lagged. here's the fix for what may be a mild bug. swap the v script in /nwp/ and/or /root/my-applications/bin with the following if you're afflicted:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
xdotool key ctrl+9 ctrl+8 Return F2 ctrl+7

#for precise, the F2 wasn't needed.
#script to execute the following string in geany (needs a few tweaks to the keyboard config file or a swap with the key.config file in the word processing and related folder at the pupli repo.
# send line where cursor sits (or what's been highlighted) to the terminal, run it, close the terminal, return to the editing view.

#you may want to put compile and build back (f8 and f9, iirc) if you like geany's built in shortcuts. i messed with those but they have nothing to do with the vtg function.
xdotool key ctrl+9 ctrl+8 Return F2 ctrl+7
that's it. the F2 is the only needed change. i was messing around with the timing and a few other things, but it's just a case of quirky 7.2 needs to have the editor in focus to close out the sidebar and terminal and precise didn't. or 32 bit didn't (both were using geany 1.24 for the most part).

Managing Playlists On External Drives With Find And Replace

#33 Post by Puppus Dogfellow »

this may not be a geany specific fix, but the multi tabs and recents lists makes it a better choice for the task than leafpad, and i don't know how many are also afflicted, but i've yet to have a machine escape it, so---

isn't it annoying to have a playlist spit out nothing but error messages because sdb is now sdc or something else and none of the song paths are correct? it certainly annoys me. open up the playlist file in geany menu > search > replace (swap your drive letters--usually a substitution need be no more than four letters in each of the two fields, though if if you've got multiple drives changing identities without pattern, it may require a little finesse) > (make sure the bottom part is set to entire document or selection--whichever is needed) and you're done. play list will now work.

(tested with vlc and the xspf format/extension.)

launcher and the pack that contains it has been upgraded

#34 Post by Puppus Dogfellow »

the launcher has been upgraded, thought the vtg function itself is unchanged. launcher and the jwm-aemenu pack that contains it: nwp-jwm-aem-1.1.tar.xz

details start here and continue until the first post on the next page (three posts of how to modify, what things look like and do, etc.)

enjoy.

if you're using the launcher for the vgt and word processing

#35 Post by Puppus Dogfellow »

i think the subject line is especially true if you don't rely on jwm or your windows manager for your keyboard short cuts. you could drag template files and word processing command files to the panels and make a word processing gui out of your screen real estate. of course, the panels could be used to launch anything the pinboards can, which is pretty much anything. anyway, here's "the following":
Puppus Dogfellow wrote:
Puppus Dogfellow wrote: you can give yourself swappable keyboard shortcuts by assigning them specifically to panel or pinboard items. since this thread deals with panels exclusively, i'll focus on that, but it's really the same thing--when you right click on a pinboard or panel item and give it a shortcut, the shortcut goes to that specific icon, not the program or file(s) the icon represents--the key combo will work on what's in the panel--swap the panel, you swap keyboard shortcuts. to fully use this feature, you'd probably have to keep your shortcuts away from your main windows manager as that may override or conflict with the newer keycuts.

in short, you could toggle keyboard shortcuts when you toggle panels/toggling panels is also a way to have an enormous amount of context-specific (or not) keycuts. this is possible because in rox, you assign cuts to an icon, not a program.
from the rox panel speed frames thread

using the method described above, the pwp launcher (the Puppy Word Processor/Puppy Uppers Utility Pack--new version just has uu as the only text on the gui frame, so maybe yet another name change), you could give a similar overabundance of keycuts to a non-jwm setup as you can to one that can take the previously posted key-banks. shrink the panels (16 pixels is minimum--use one pixel squares from the empty icon template (temp folder in nwp) and they'll be expanded to your choice up to 96 pixels) and give scripts (such as the word processing commands from the nwp folder) direct and familiar (or at least personally chosen) locations and shortcuts to call them.

see the main nwp aemenu (n in launcher) for the rox entry if you want to make 6 swappable pinboards (call code would be pp#--mk30 in the launcher will actually give you thirty of them, but like mk26, it's probably overkill. the 10 panel sets are already included and are called by p0-p9)
relates to same pack posted earlier. (ones before the current penultimate couldn't make the 24 or 30 pinboard sets).

discovered a similarly small adjustment needed for the function to work off the keyboard in slacko. alt+z normally calls menu (usually 1 or 3 depending on what version you've got and whether or not you've implemented the jwm side of the nwp folder and its launcher), Down, Enter to reach VTG on a menu (can't be called from a key due to the key activating it in the folder containing it). since slacko activates menus with the first item highlighted, cut the "Down" from the key's exec code and it will work.

here's an update of the nwp and launcher:
NWP-1.2.tar.xz

screenshots show geany being modified with the help of the 669 key virtual keypad:

669 keys--macros and aliases

screenshots and info gifs for 669:

more info:

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 043#885043


all 669 keys (all 669 little xdotool scripts) combined are 25k uncompressed, which is significantly smaller than the full nwp. i think the next vtg launcher will only be a handful of scripts and keys folder in the shell of the nwp, but you don't really need to wait for a stripped down version. just put the keys folder (it contains the 669) anywhere you like and adjust k- to point to the new location. add or copy the v script from /nwp to that folder in its new location, and the k launcher will be able to just as easily activate the vtg function as the p launcher (set an easy to remember and press key combo for the k launcher).

anyway, puppy appears to be willing to accept F36 as input even if you don't have the key. xdotool can press the imaginary key plus four modifiers faster than you can press one (and can be scaled forward or back). rename keys to more easily remember and call them.

enjoy.

vtg_VPKP_pw,n-nwp.sh

the above is a script that will install the vtg shortcut script in a nwp folder empty apart from the improved key (function) folder. you get the launchers (call, modify, and mask/rename keys), a virtual programmable (set for a minimum of 1060 not including macros and scripts) keypad, and the vtg button/macro/key combo (which still requires the tweaks to the key config file mentioned on the first page of the thread. the script's a tweak of one of the build scripts i used to make the forthcoming anuupuus update, and was released in a slightly different form (replete with somewhat inaccurate comments) here.


there's no included help file, but the comments are fairly extensive:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
mkdir -p /nwp/keys/k/
mkdir -p /nwp/keys/icons-pyg /nwp/keys/icons-tl /nwp/keys/icons-td /nwp/keys/icons
#cp -f /nwp/keys/k /nwp/keys/k2
#older version of the comments had "delete or comment out 1-99 if you're using the older version of the virtual keypad and have assignments for those keys. alternately, comment out the line above to make a back up of your existing key-set, which you can then copy your changes from and/or use as an alternate key set. these will overwrite keys 1-99 from from the 66k9 version," which is inaccurate/was only a .desktop and icon issue, and not much of one at that. a-z, 0-9, and all numbers plus all other single key assignments are available. if you want in excess of a thousand virtual keys requiring two or fewer presses, i have a version built around {a..z}; {a..z}{a..z}; {a..z}{0..9}; -{0..9}; -{a..z}(,etc) somewhere nearly completed--i started making shortcuts in geany to make making them easier, and the way i went about it made both that method and the previous method of assigning keys seem really inefficient. this uses more keys to call and edit a key, but it also makes it much easier to configure them on the fly and then use them thereafter. the additional keypad/script launchers/editors at the end of this file call the keys by first initial of modifier key (alphabetically--acsw are alt, control, shift, and windows key held simultaneously. add one at a time for fewer than the four, but always add alphabetically) followed by the letter or number of your choice, or f1-f36 to call those function key (regardless of whether you've got them on any of your keyboards). the renaming method is as follows: in the main launcher, enter kl or kg to open up either leafpad or geany at the keys' path. enter the name of the key you want to rename, save the file that opens as the call code you wish to have (one that's shorter and/or easier to remember), enter kch in the main launcher, enter the renamed key. that's it--the key launcher will now open up any menu item on whatever program with the command you gave it. to assign keys in programs that allow customization by recording your key presses, use the key launcher (dragging to the desktop's largely unnecessary unless you want a desktop button for some functions) or k in the main launcher (can't click the items in the folders because the key strokes are sent to rox/your windows manager itself).
echo $'#!/bin/sh
xdotool key alt+0 ' > /nwp/keys/k/a0
echo $'#!/bin/sh
xdotool key alt+9 ' > /nwp/keys/k/a9

Code: Select all

#i'm sort of drowning in icons at the moment, but there's a desktop file and iconification improvement/overload on the way that more or less obviates the attempt i make towards the end of the script to make things more ready-made and mouse friendly, but it's still conceivably useful and/or a possible convenience (right click in any rox folder to get a largely filed out .desktop file for any nwp function or key. "ilkon" or "igkon" in the main launcher will open a copy of the same file in either leafpad (i(l)kon) or geany (i(g)kon)).

#the 347 byte replacement icon for scripts makes navigating through some of the more overloaded /nwp directories (such as /nwp itself) much quicker, but i'm considering a how-to rather than a upload for the 18,000 or so icons i've somehow wound up with...

#i'm adding the original k, p, p-, and k- launchers so the anuupuus update script works as a standalone virtual/programmable keypad--just give /nwp/k a shortcut key (spacebar plus a single modifier works nicely for both /nwp/k and /nwp/p).

#have decided to add some others in case anyone wants the k ratehr than the p version as the main pw,n launcher. while the recommended configuration method assumes access from /nwp/p, you can back-space past the / and k in the k launcher to reach kl (rename key with leafpad), kch (set permission of renamed key), kgi (rename key with a new instance of geany), p (which can call the others from /nwp), kir (open the keys folder in rox), and kg (rename key with geany) from their backups in /nwp/keys.
[...]

Code: Select all

[...]
#it probably makes more sense to sacrifice the potential convenience of p, v,c,k,l, and g in the key launcher (the other 30 alpha-numeric characters are still available for scripts, commands, macros, or key combos you'd like to bind to a single key entry) in order to give the virtual keypad the ability to quickly configure itself. with that in mind, and because there's a chance the other way may still prove useful, here's a copy of the above launchers plus the vtg (the only one of the bunch that retains its original (v) call-code)

echo $'
#!/bin/sh
xdotool key ctrl+9 ctrl+8 Return F2 ctrl+7

#for precise, the F2 wasn,t needed
#script to execute the string in geany (needs a few tweaks to the keyboard config file or a swap with the key.config file in the word processing and related folder at the pupli repo).
# send line where cursor sits (or what,s been highlighted) to the terminal, run it, close the terminal, return to the editing view.
' > /nwp/keys/k/v

#^you could use an alpha-numeric plus four modifiers or some of the combos involving function keys 13-36 here to open up other keycuts in geany. it's an example of xdotool being used for a macro rather than a key--you aren't limited to key actions with these little xdotool scripts--you could bind mouse actions to them as well as incorporate the actions needed to access just about any program's menus or submenus. rename it it vtg if you'd like to use the v call-code in the pwn,n-k launcher for something else.

#---no warranties or whatnot, but i don't see what it could break, and like the nwp and vtg, it's working well. i find it useful.
#---------------------------------------- puppus dogfellow, march 2016.
#enjoy.
#ps: this was part of a set of scripts that built a full update to the nwp word processor and utilities suite. the template-spitting scripts below are mini versions of the other two build scripts. i use the custom keys a lot in geany, but the majority of what this does isn't necessarily vtg or geany related, or even related to word processorization of text editors or interfaces in general, so i've decided to make a move towards a more general issue release. it's a 1000 key virtual programmable keyboard and function renamer.

echo $'
#!/bin/sh
xdotool type \'text2xpm "-->" >/nwp/keys/icons-sup/(name).xpm\' ' > /nwp/t2x
chmod 755 /nwp/t2x
#print out code that will autogenerate (through vtg or terminal) an icon. they're small but expand to the fit the rox panels. on the pinboards, they remain tiny. requires text2xpm.


[...]

i'll post more of the build scripts a bit later--the vtg can use sections of either to more or less instantly generate sets of icons or desktop files, which can in turn be easily modded, renamed, and/or relocated/generated in a new location (change a few characters, click/activate the vtg again).

here's an improvement over the included update script:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
#click2update-1.2.2_(24kf)--improved update script. 
cp -fRu ./nwp /

#keylauncher and vtg require xdotool. complete anuupuus (A New(bie's) UUord Processor and Ultimat(esqu)e Utilities Suite requires wmctrl and aemenu as well.
# this uses more keys to call and edit a key, but it also makes it much easier to configure them on the fly and then use them thereafter. the additional keypad/script launchers/editors at the end of this file call the keys by first initial of modifier key (alphabetically--acsw are alt, control, shift, and windows key held simultaneously. add one at a time for fewer than the four, but always add alphabetically) followed by the letter or number of your choice, or f1-f36 to call those function key (regardless of whether you've got them on any of your keyboards). the renaming method is as follows: in the main launcher, enter kl or kg to open up either leafpad or geany at the keys' path. enter the name of the key you want to rename, save the file that opens as the call code you wish to have (one that's shorter and/or easier to remember), enter kch in the main launcher, enter the renamed key. that's it--the key launcher will now open up any menu item on whatever program with the command you gave it. to assign keys in programs that allow customization by recording your key presses, use the key launcher (dragging to the desktop's largely unnecessary unless you want a desktop button for some functions) or k in the main launcher (can't click the items in the folders because the key strokes are sent to rox/your windows manager itself). 
#from http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=894826#894826

#comments on that post mistakenly assume an icon conflict--it doesn't exist.

#minimum deps for this more or less stand alone update are xdotool and yad.
#aemenu and wmctrl are highly recommended additions.



#originally used for the 1.2.2 update; only changes to this script are these comments and below:
#no rox or jwm keycuts provided--installation with this script simply moves ./nwp to / as /nwp. you'll need to assign a keyboard shortcut to the p and/or k launcher (main, keys) with your windows or file manager. 
# 24kf --there are over 24000 little files (icons, desktops, scripts) in this update. i recommend using some of the little mini (sub 400B) icons rather than the default set for scripts and xpm files as a result of this update--helps when loading a loaded directory.

#the easiest way to swap icons once sets are already assigned to desktop files is probably to rename the folder that feeds them, then generate or rename a folder containing the other set to the original name.

i didn't include txt2xpm in the previous update, but you can grab copies here:

text2xpm (set as dark purple characters on a transparent background):
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByUDhE ... sp=sharing
ptxt2xpm (yellow-green on purple):
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByUDhE ... sp=sharing
wtxt2xpm (white on transparent):
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByUDhE ... sp=sharing
blktxt2xpm (black on transparent):
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByUDhE ... sp=sharing


the script with the commented out icons is a smaller version of what i used to generate all the icons and desktop files in the previous update. you can see them here.

copy the txt2xpm versions to /root/my-applications/bin, set the permissions, and the code above will generate some icons and desktop files. alter the txt2 scripts to alter the generated icons and rerunning them or dumping sections from them into the terminal will change the appearance of your desktop files as quickly as renaming the generated folders (change the paths to folder you can swap in) does.

the 24k in the name of the update script's a bit of a warning: the files are small, but the new update alone contains over 24000 files (it's quick despite this, but navigation for configuration purposes is best left to the launchers. small icons for script and xpm defaults help considerably from what i've seen, though after a huge folder has been loaded, subsequent visits show little if any lag. initially annoying and still better left unexperienced.) :( :P

here are the build scripts (minus the install and new icon management help file/script) as a compressed folder: bldscr-nwp-1.3.tar.xz

from http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 477#895477

here's the full update: nwp-1.2.2-upgrade_pack.tar.xz see the bottom of this post for additional info.

function key bug fix and an icon pack

#39 Post by Puppus Dogfellow »

some of the function keys from the 1060 virtual keypad upgrade pack are a number off. the following script will fix it by overwriting the mistakes (and the ones that are okay. 35k): nwp-functionkeyfix

a_very_large_pack_of_very_small_icons.tar.xz

if you're using the word processing functions (and therefore presumably a fuller version of the vtg-nwp than previously linked), you may find the above icon pack useful for versioning or mime choices (it contains 74 variations of SAN SER MON (for the three main font types) for you to choose from plus sets for the more common file types). it also contains scripts that may make it easy iconify vtg entries that have been converted to scripts, something i usually accomplish by adding (through the scz command) #!/bin/sh beneath the echo$' part that gets spit out by the launcher's cnt (content) command:

Code: Select all

echo $'
(content--script spits out a sample create-file-with-content template)
' > (path to file)
just add chmod 755 (or hit 7c in the launcher)[path to file] beneath the entry and vtg (v.) the highlighted text. open up an icon making script, get acquainted with the color schemes and how to change them, and use rox right click to assign the new script its new icon.

new nwp gives you the vtg at a click and some customizable

#40 Post by Puppus Dogfellow »

lost a monitor on an installation recently and as a result the real estate on which some of my custom menu buttons were sitting, so i've now put them on the menus:

Image

Image

screenshots are from 1.4. here's 1.9.2:
nwp-1.9.2.tar.xz. most of the changes should be reflected on the updated launcher code list:
[...] (nwp installation sets the shortcut for the launcher itself as spacebar plus shift, but if you don't have jwm, you'll have to do it manually through whatever method you find convenient. The shortcut is used heavily if at all, i guess, and so my recommendation tries to make it fluid, simple, and quick). An almost complete (as of June 2016) list of shortcuts (interrupted by a list of fixes in the upcoming 1.9.1: geany and geany new instance were backwards on the root one menu; the mae aemenu (installation, port-store-backup, menumaker, shutdown+, and jwm config options submenus, etc) was never added to the nwp folder itself--the mae shortcut won't work until it's copied over (though you can activate it from the installation/download folder); trayfix old and new have been given more prominent placement on mae and its jwm equivalent; megasync's a builtin; ocr thanks to rcrsn51; …[one of the two upgrades in the works is in lieu of two isos. it upgrades p6.0 to what would have been p6.1 and makes ~572.15 out of -.14; other upgrade has no add-in pets. set for old syntax this time. fresh installs are generally quicker than upgrades so rename your old nwp if you're upgrading. once the folder turns to anubis (about 15 seconds on my slower machine) you can call from nwp rather than the install folder and/or complete the installation. pets run fixmenus and jwm -restart automatically so the update pack is just a click and a bunch of okaying (alt plus o or more clicking).....]

bb -- spit out bold tags
bb2 -- span tags for bold fonts or other, non default font choices (bold tags don't appear to work though the nwp's underlining and italics tags show the expected results). default is for monospace, same as po1, po2, po4 (the latter two are templates, po1 is an xdotool "spit this code" script/a backup of the main (monospace) template).

by rcrsn51. thread here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 132#415132 (unnecessary now that it has a gui)
fw -- toggle firewall on off (actually give a pop up that provides the function. requires the pet by tronkel you can find at
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 9ea478cf1f). rcrsn51's SimpleHTTPServerWithUpload won't run with the firewall in place and this is a convenient way to temporarily disable it.

a much better way to launch and batch launch files (you'll get a dual view without having to to click the file more than once. for print preview of the pdf form of this essentially txt/html word processing document (though you can embed and link what you like , it seems), you'll need to access to your choice of browser/htmlviewer's print preview button. to change the headers and footers, you'll need to use your browser's print > options menu.

mae -- configuration menu (ae menu also containing port, store, install scripts for use with NWPDE i.e. the insta-configure setup in /nwp/c)
ams1-3 -- toggle in the three alternate menu sets (for new installs, as of version 1.9 you needn't use any of the my series quickswitches to use this or the other toggle functions (with the exception of the six keyboard configuration switches (kb1on-kb6on---also on the ae and jwm menus in less cryptic form (jwm version of the mae menu you find starting in 1.9 is on the root four and five (up and down, alt+four and +five) menus and the shutdown+ menu on the left click (root1, alt+1) menu.)
my1-4 -- keyboard centric configuration toggle
my1r-my42 -- reverse those configurations. pattern is the same for the my30-my49 quickswitches.
avtray and dvtray 1 and the rest of the menu and tray swapping commands were originally for the menus and so may not be worded/shortened for nwp launcher use, but looking at the rest of that menu making menu (what mae originally was, although first called maekr (still there as a copy you can mod) and aei (also still there--you can mod that for your five custom jobbies in nwp/root3. they in turn can be your default swap-ins when and if you decide you take your current/future-current setup with you.
when i make 1.9 official (it's in the repo but i haven't announced in a murga-linux thread) i'll likely first clean away all from the following that isn't a launch code, but you can always check out what code launches a menu item using the same method as for editing. unfortunately for ae menus, it's usually a two step ll since the first one will only show you the name of the file it's reading--this second one is the one you need to actually look at. for menu making items, tray items, etc, for now see here (or ll > maek in the launcher, maek being the file mae reads): http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 121#905121

Kind of related to the following idea of nwp as remaster-tool, you could use it as a sort of bootleg zero-install method. For example, i have a number of programs and scripts (01micko's get_libre office utility, MochiMoppel's SpeedDials and Winswitcher (ww), SFR and Step's FindnRun(f), etc) that aren't installed, but get called as if they are through the launcher that pretends the nwp is part of the executables' path/PATH. You can do it with scripts by renaming them and moving them into the nwp (get_libreoffice becomes getlibre in the launcher, speed dials is sd or sdr, if you just want the recents to pop up), and many pets are amenable to the same with one or two extra steps (uncompress the folder, find the script that the pet is a wrapper for, then move it and/or rename it). Of course, some things are just easier left as pets (but you may know how to make a jwm theme but not know how to make a pet of it--easier just to copy it over to its correct location perhaps).

bonus on the bootleg0: the which command will give you the location of the scripts powering most pets you and other developers have installed (it doesn't distinguish between builtins and addins). you could then just up arrow that in the terminal, prepend with "geany" or "leafpad" and a space, hit enter, then save the thing that pops up as a nwp/pwn shortcut (i.e. give it a short, easy to remember (and associate with its intended function) name and save it in the /nwp folder so the shift plus spacebar launcher can launch it. rename the keys in a similar (though easier) way: kl (or kg) in the main launcher followed by the keycode/key call--then rename the script or a copy of it).

here's that menu with a little substitution so it more resembles the rest of the list on these pages (less codey and saves you a click):

menu "menu maker
aemenu launcher template -- ael
aemenu--given program -- aeae
aemenu--given title -- aeae2
aemenu template -- aeaem
jwm --given program -- jwmkr
jwm --given label -- jwmmkr
jwm menu template -- jwmm
jwm includes template -- jwmi
[these follow the same pattern as the highlight and click to apply formatting codes in the n,n1, and n2 ae menus]
grab exec commands --leafpad -- e4ml
grab exec commands --geany -- e4m
end

menu "Select Custom Keyboard Configuration
keycentric configs:" "
keyboard-1 (my1) -- my1
keyboard-2 (my2) -- my2
keyboard-3 (my3) -- my3
keyboard-4 (my4) -- my4

reverse keycentric configs:" "
reverse my1 (my1) -- my1r
reverse my2 (my2r) -- my2r
reverse my3 (my3r) -- my3r
reverse my4 (my4r) -- my4r
edit quickswitches (40 series and KB) -- edit4i



these could be made into two separate scripts for launcher (rather than menu/launcher-to-menu) activation:

menu "edit the 6 key configs:
edit keys: geany" "geany /nwp/root3/9menusblanks/keys0 /nwp/root3/9menusblanks/keys1 /nwp/root3/9/keys0 /nwp/root3/9/keys1 /nwp/root3/10/keys0 /nwp/root3/10/keys1
edit keys: geany -i" "geany -i /nwp/root3/9menusblanks/keys0 /nwp/root3/9menusblanks/keys1 /nwp/root3/9/keys0 /nwp/root3/9/keys1 /nwp/root3/10/keys0 /nwp/root3/10/keys1

[geany -i means a new instance (window)--it's easier to copy and paste between menu sets that way. another, somewhat related tip: if you drag file contents to a tab it will open--together with select to copy and middle click to paste, menu making is more like finger painting than coding (not that i really know how to do the latter). three sets of nine seemed like too many slots for individual leafpad entries (just use rl > root3 and open the files individual if that's what you want), and scrolling from the first to (a version of?) the thirtieth seemed like a stretch without the new window, but you could also open the lot in the same/current geany.]

aekill (or killae)--solve an issue reported by musher0 (who introduced me to aemenu and how to use its syntax--thanks, musher). apparently too many launched in succession can cause it to hang or not close menus it otherwise should have--this will allow it to continue as normal (once i remember seeing lxtask showing some hanging menus, but the few didn't affect much. this was on a random check of what was going on with the system (i get a kick out of htop and lxtask). another time it did, or i think it did--there were quite a few and i think i noticed some sluggishness and checked for an actual reason. or at least that's the reason there's now an aekill/killae.

cadi -- close all instances of active window's program
ccdi -- close just program's windows on current desktop
caw -- MochiMoppel's CloseAllWindows script (like cadi and ccdi but with more options and a popup)

new for 1.9.2:



backup Geany configs -- backg
store Geany configs -- storeg
port Geany configs -- portg
restore original/previous Geanyconfigs -- restg


geanytweak -- backg
-- portg

store LibreOffice configs -- storel
restore original/previous LibreOffice configs -- restl
backup LibreOffice configs -- backl
port LibreOffice configs -- portl

portil -- backl
-- portl

equivalent of back/portg and back/portl now removed from installation (2)step2 and each made into scripts/buttons (wrong picture covering them but that's essentially what they are--i may just copy the syntax from the wizard wizard and make this stuff a panel at some point--could use tx2 (text2xpm code printout) to make label-buttons and skip the text field part...). "portil" backs up the current lo configs if any and ports in your custom choice. "geanytweak" backs up the original geany configurations (keyboard, toolbar, main) and ports in a set ready made with the vtg tweak in place, a history set at roughly 50 configuration files (including all those from the three folders (9,10, 9menusblanks) in root3 that feed JWM the info for the menus, trays, and keys), the necessary keycuts for the custom geany menus (set for alt9, alt0, alt2 (also middle click) at the moment) to work, and enables spell check. jag and jagvk should be on the new recent documents list, which should help you in your menu making endeavors. swap the non vk version (it shows you the code the other has in the scripts--follow its pattern to add more keys and set them after the menu is made by keys>edit>[clicking your menu]) out (relabel, expand, copy) for use with other programs or to add additional menus. look at root4menu, root5menu, root2menu, root9menu, root0menu for that "<Includes>" line--change to match other menus you'd like to add by pointing to the new files (no reason for that menu to repeat five times, the space efficiency of pipe menus notwithstanding. control+shift o (or right click>open selected file) take the inconvenience out of files reading from other files--it's a cool feature another reason i recommend editing the JWM stuff in geany over leafpad).

fixes to joop, joopi, jp, and jpe
(typo on "jwmrc-tray," defunct files removed; joop and joopi open all the keys, menus, and trays in the main three in root3; joopi does it in a new instance of geany. jp opens just jwmrc-personal and /etc/.../_root_.jwmrc. jpe opens the tray in addition to these two. you could just open joop in geany (gl launcher) and access the files individually with the right click as described above). dopey name for joop/i is mnemonic for root plus jwm--both will open over forty files at once. vtg5 gave another five files to add to the recents list…


_____


edit: four and five contain the installation, configuration switches, menumaking, and port-store-restore submenus--i never put the custom program menus on those (but you're free to if you like--just add an includes line wherever you want it to go, sandwich it between <Menu></Menu> tags to compress a submenu to a line on the main if your menus get too long (copy the other menu templates to see how to label it--well, the second one's fine as is. for the top of the sandwich just add a label="" tag:


<Menu label="your title here">
[menu entries or an <Includes></Includes> line]
</Menu>

))
.

***

for 192, you can skip the second step of the install sequence (the one labeled "2," not the actual second step, which is labeled 00--install the deps and move the nwp folder to /, then proceed to 1step1, which will back up your jwm configs and move some useful files to /root/my-applications/bin--the nwp launcher calls on these for some functions and to reset itself should you get finger-tied or typo it past convenience) and transfer over the configuration files for the vtg and custom menus/menu templates. the recs from 1.9 are gone and replaced by just geany 125 and the plugin pack for it (both made by Corvus). i added two 1.27 plugins (overview and multiterm) that are working well for me in Xenialpup--haven't tried them in anything else yet (and so they're commented out). you could skip the recs and still have the vtg, but the extend select and some of the other functions shown on the menus won't work without the plugins.
vtg help files/base launchers have been backed up to the notecase document in the installation folder--you could use 1-4 as a scrap popup (or add/change vtg5).

more details on the updates from 1.4 to 1.9.1: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 726#903726

easiest way to make custom menus for geany is to fill them out first (ae or jwm), then go to help > keyboard shortcuts > edit and then just click your menu entries to set the keys in place. once you've got a configuration you like, you can swap that into other puppies and take the customizations with you.

eventually x7 will become 7x as a spin of xenialpup, but both the sfs and pet should work okay in all 5-8 series pups using jwm and rox except the newest slackos, which have been updated twice since 6.3.0 and possibly prove this assertion wrong. anyway, the pet doesn't affect jwm unless you activate it, which can be done in a number of ways, the easiest being entering /nwp/my1 (keycentric base config) or /nwp/my30 (regular default) into a terminal you can see the jaewm documentation in /nwp/c/installation-retro for more on how they differ. the same folder also has clickable installation options--you can preconfigure which trays show rather than use mae (entered in the shift plus spacebar launcher) or the root4 menu (alt plus 4 and 5, scroll up and down) to do it after the initial set of jwm config changes are in place. being updates, the jaewms don't install the dependencies (aemenu, xdotool, wmctrl)--the spins have it already, plus they've got the pets for transfer to either 64 or 32 bit in nwp/c. if you don't want to see the pet installed already error message, you can use that version to update an existing nwp installation. nwp32/64 contain just the dependencies and the nwp itself. installation is the same as with x7--either go to /nwp/c and pick and choose or enter /nwp/my19-my4) or /nwp/my30(-my49) into a terminal and wait for fixmenus and jwm -restart to run after the backups and swaps are made.

to enable the custom geany menu (ae menu gg in the launcher, root 2 menu) on your system, enter /nwp/c/geanytweak into a terminal or go to /nwp/c/ and click the geanytweak script.


i recommend the pets in general, the SFSes for testing.

known bugs: xenial won't let go of the blue active window title bars and xcalc crashes it (so don't use it unless you want to shut down). there's supposedly a fix (see xenial folder in puppy isos) for the broken mounted drive icons, but i haven't tried it yet--so already a pet or two i've left out and the upgrade path for x7 presents itself. the rox tweaks (letter shortcuts, etc) and jwm/gtk theme upgrades (to "official pux specs"...) don't have a nwp shortcut as yet--go to nwp/c to click the activation scripts (in the process of being phased out).


/nwp/mae in a terminal will also get you the installation menu after the pet or sfs is installed.



---------------
documentation updates:

Jaewm!-.1.ncd
launcher shortcuts
nwp keyboard shortcuts (jwm)

approximatic for most 32 bit pups:

x7 sfs
x7 pet
upgrade p6 to 6p:
u6 sfs
u6 pet
upgrade ~572.14 to p5:
p5 sfs
p5 pet
(sfs was mostly used to make the pet--it won't overwrite/update on an existing install in either the precise or the unicorn spin (or most any other existing installation of the jaewmie).

no helper pets, just the nwp folder, aemenu, xdotool, the pexec based launcehrs, and wmctrl:

nwp64 pet
nwp 64 sfs
nwp32 pet
nwp32 sfs
update fixes some documentation and (this time-- accidentally left it out of the earlier one/the one four in the vtg thread...) has the geany and geany plug-in update for ~...14.

Corvus' geany 125 pet and plugins separate from the p5 and x7 packages.

pets will update existing setups, the sfs won't unless you remove or rename your old nwp (you may want to rename it before the pet installation since merging of the contents may overwrite any customizing you've done).
from http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 183#910183, which also has onsite documentation for the included keyboard shortcuts.

minor update for nwp.64 plus the 64bit versions of the geany

#42 Post by Puppus Dogfellow »

update for the 64bit version of the nwp.pet posted earlier plus the necessary dependencies for the geanytweak script (in /nwp/c):

from here and here:
[...]
though now that i'm working on porting the customizations that define these spins to 64bit, there may be more forthcoming. for now, scroll back towards page one for some of the more minimal setups--pets and sfs versions of the approximatic (p5, u6, x7) require activation through the terminal (/nwp/my1 or /nwp/my30) on new installs, though rox /nwp/c will take you to the installation folder, which opens up some preconfiguration options (none of which will take the menu, tray, or key swapping features--you'll need to swap in from the my series for those). i will soon post an updated version of the 64 bit nwp--been playing around with it a bit in tahr64 (finally got it to boot on a worthy (6gb ram) machine).
[...]

Post subject: towards a 64bit version of the spins
Subject description: progress so far (and why i always try to include recoll) since few start with linux, it makes sense to me to allow users to easily search through their non linux created files--unfortunately nothing seems to be in the class of recoll, which isn't always convenient to install (these spins and the approximatic include a fairly old version of it (1.13), which works well enough that i'd be happy to be able to get it consistently working in 64bit, even if i needed to use a compatibility sfs to do so). had a go at getting the era-correct 1.17 to work in tahr64, but only succeeded one in three times. trick may have been to start with the bug fix, then first ppm-install recoll and its dependencies. other orders failed, but i'm not sure if that was necessarily due to sequencing.

anyway, the updated nwp.64 pet below works better than the one i posted earlier, at least in tahr64, but if you already installed the earlier one and want to try out what makes them different, apart from compression used by the somewhat disimilar utilities i used to make them, just install the following xdotoolpet:

xdotool_3.20130111.1-3.1.pet

here's the newer 64bit nwp:
nwp-64.pet

and here are the geany plugins you'll need for the geanytweak script to work (and consequently the custom menus in set1 and/or the installation defaults) in 64bit:

geanytahr64.tar.xz

if you've installed the newer 64bit nwp and want to give the older one a go, just try out this xdotool package (which to work well in slacko64, iirc):

xdotool-2.2-x86_64.pet

speaking of slacko64 and what i said earlier about the jwm management--doesn't appear to be related to jwm desk or sticky jwm or any of that, but until i test the newest version, if you install the pet, manually play with jwm at your own risk (and be aware you may be playing around with the configuration quick switches at an even greater potential risk under that distro).

apart from the difficulties with recoll and the somewhat expected by now loss of some nwp funtions under 64, the tahr64 proto spin/insta-spin seems to have worked well. next reboot i'll test it under xenial64 and see if anything needs to be adjusted.

here's some of the rest (really all as of now but i expect it to grow/change) of the 64 bit spin/upgrade path:

nwp update improves config swapping and porting, navigation,

update simplifies installation, customization, portability
Subject description: (your original configs become my39 in the launcher--full nwp and functions by default.


Puppus Dogfellow wrote:(but you can now uninstall aspects of it individually through the piecemeal submenu on mae (launcher code or in your applications folder) or the scripts in /nwp/c)
from minor nwp update (two lines on the pinstall script that lead
into this how-to on the jwm configuration quickswitches
:
nwp-6t4.1.pet
nwp32.3.2.pet
nwp64.3.2.pet

only changes since the last batch are an update of the elp help file and the following two lines added to the pinstall scripts (that activate after the pet installation moves in the files you're adding to your system):

Code: Select all

cp -f /root/.jwm/jwmrc-personal /nwp/root3/root39menu/jwmrc-personal 
cp -f /etc/xdg/templates/_root_.jwmrc /nwp/root3/root39menu/_root_.jwmrc
these lines make your current jwm configuration (current as of the time of this nwp.pet install) your my39 quickswitch (i.e. "my39" in the launcher activates that particular set of configuration files); my39r reverses it, but only to the previous configuration. this is to say, installing, playing around with the configuration switches, and then getting back to your preinstall config while leaving the rest of the functions in tact may lead to some unfortunate backtracking--making the originals a quickswitch avoids any headaches and brings up a point about customizing your own (or sets of your own) wm features--anything you do to the contents of the root#menus folders in /nwp/root3 and their associated files will stick as a quickswitch and the feature mod (the tray, key, and menu config files for the nine extra menus (x3), the 6 keycentric configs, the thirty or so trays are all there) will be a part of the swapped in customizations, but you must mod the files in nwp/root3/, not the ones in their system-active places in root/.jwm and /etc/xdg/templates to make them portable (though you could always run the above two lines adjusted to the destination folder of your choice (or drag and drop manually--rl in the launcher then c gets you there...there's a keycut...my guess is alt plus j...(woo hoo)(rung is h for keys launcher, j for rox launcher, k for geany, l for leafpad)...---make changes, restart jwm to see if you like them, copy them to those folders in nwp/root3 if you want to make them swappable. the new menus on scroll up and down and mae (ae menu launched by that code in main launcher) have the quickswitches plus links to edit or activate the keys, trays, menus, etc. you can edit the files to include menus from elsewhere, but all the presets are fed from that folder. make a file of the above repeated for menus30-49 and you could vtg in your current settings at any time with a click of the cauliflower (etc).

[...]

for the 64 bit geanytweaks to work and match up with the jwm and aemenu menus, install the following plugins:
gny125-vtg64jaewm.tar.xz
gny127-vtg64jaewm.tar.xz

unlike prior updates, this version of the nwp (either 32 or 64 bit) will autoinstall the geany tweaks, rox tweaks, and keycentric configs (my1). pinstall script for 32 bit sets the syntax back to the old style for the unicorn and precise spins. will release pae mature (5p), pae new (7x), non pae (6u, the next version of the unicorn spin), and 64 bit--6t4, which will be based on tahr64. i've been using xenial 64 and 32 on somewhat equivalent machines, and now that i know rox being overloaded is what crashes 701 (and avoid it), i have to say i'm happy with the performance of both. my earlier complaints about 32bit when using over 4gig of ram doesn't seem to hold with this newest pup--going to make a xenial spin based on the earlier x7 package since it's got the light recoll. the 64 bit spin won't include it by default, but it will have most of the features of the 32 bit spins. ETP's get chrome64 package has been modded (as anubis,get(64bit)chrome.pet)in an attempt to add some semblance of unifying theme to pux and 6t4 (or 6d4, since the debian-using xenial707-64 also works well with the nwp); i think it's there. the Word Processor and Ultimatesque Utilities Pack (and the vtg) are the anubis folder...everything's a file, a folder... :lol: :roll: :wink: (...)

here's the contents of the geany64 plugin.xz's--127 is for xenial64, 125 is for tahr64 (and it should work in slacko64 as well, but you may need to add the jwm stuff manually--aemenus will work regardless):


geany-plugin-treebrowser_1.27+dfsg-2.pet
geany-plugin-extrasel_1.27+dfsg-2.pet
geany-plugin-spellcheck_1.27+dfsg-2.pet
geany-plugin-multiterm_1.27+dfsg-2.pet


geany-plugin-extrasel_1.25+dfsg-1_amd64.deb
geany-plugin-macro_1.25+dfsg-1_amd64.deb
geany-plugin-multiterm_1.25+dfsg-1_amd64.deb
geany-plugin-numberedbookmarks_1.25+dfsg-1_amd64.deb
geany-plugin-overview_1.25+dfsg-1_amd64.deb
geany-plugin-spellcheck_1.25+dfsg-1_amd64.deb
(tree browser (included in tahr64) and extrasel are the only ones the menus require, though the spell-check dictionary in nwp/wp is there because of the above plugins and their 32 bit counterparts).


jaewm! documentation and keycuts cheat sheet have been updated both in the package and in the repo's support folder.
[...]
line's boldface because i'm about to post the updated launcher code list, and now that the keycentric configs are activated upon installation by default, that list too. also, since i've got a few keyboards that aren't quite as linux compatible as i'd like (microsoft ergo 400 or something, a logitech wireless that's got no middle button, another that's got at least a dozen currently useless multimedia and/or otherwise gummy buttons), i may post an additional keys insert file with the xev mapping for one or two of them. both time-saving lists are already on the ridiculous side of lengthy or approaching it. ...thing that looks like a light switch doesn't register at all...

fixed up some stuff in /root/.../rox..Templates, making the nwp work better as a right click utility in rox. tidying up that folder led me to condense the word processing templates to three, which are all new--they just add a help comment about the use of comments and add the viewport set to 700--Barry Kauler reported that worked well on his phone, and it's what the word processor FocusWriter also uses, and it seems to comfortably give documents a pdf layout that doesn't cut them at the margins, so it's the default, and it's now more easily accessible--the n, n1, n2, and n3 word processing menus (the latter two no longer labled as one another on the jwm and aemenus) all have the dual launchers (for simultaneous text editor plus browser viewing/work) and templates menus, and now so does rox's right click > new menu, and now they all have the 700px viewport by default option (it's a buried option in the templates > new folder--the wp folder now contains a folder of the panel frames, a set of the dual launchers, a set of templates, and a set of aemenu word processing and utilities menus--other than the pet making utilities (a new one added--it has a folder with a puppy skeleton and a drag and drop directory to pet converter), it's pretty much anything in the templates menu that could be construed as helping with word processing). the mcc make concurrent copies function has also undergone a similar cleanup--your customizations, if any, will be in the original folder as mcc-prev. i added a few more unextensioned options, plus a few for .bak and .~; the icons have been left out of the new version in the templates folder--the mc folder in /nwp still has them. all the aemenu functions are now on the baek menu (also a right click new option) as pop-off menus.

your old templates folder gets backed up as Templates-prev in its original location.
here's the new rox right click > new menu:

Puppus Dogfellow wrote:Image

http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m90/ ... 1egwnb.gif


the pets don't install the right click options by default, but /nwp/c has some scripts that will swap out (and back up) your menu2 and .gtkrc (etc) files for those necessary to make the letter shortcuts (right side of screenshot) alterable--this has shown limited success for me on existing installations, always seems to work for remastered isos, sometimes works with merely killall and restarting rox, sometimes works after an x restart---it's not included by default for a reason or two, i guess. the templates for the folder of blank word processing templates, the base mono, serif, and sans set ones, those for config2pet and the menu-here items will be available via right click whether or not the keycuts take or even if no effort is made to install them--they're simply additions made to one of rox's templates folder (seems some pups have two (more?) distinct folders for this, others rely on symlinks...anyway, this tweak doesn't work as consistently as the ae or jwm implementations).

if you want the geany customization menus to function properly, you'll need the plugins installed and the geanytweak script clicked or activated (c/geanytweak in the launcher will activate it, c in the rox launcher (rl main launcher or use the new bookmarks menus) will take you to the folder so you can poke around (mostly install scripts and the location of configurations and customizations you store for future ports/installations through the port/store/configure submenus (mae in the launcher brings one up, but there are few floating around as various jwm submenus))--it swaps in the keyboard, gui, and plugin settings they're expecting.

menu and feature update: adapting keyboards and a menu fix

Puppus Dogfellow wrote:so that you can better process words or do whatever you'd like to do. template below is very heavily modded for nwp functions, though it's got some program specific items (geany's vtg and custom menus) and some mods that should function globally (keyboard as is doesn't really allow you do undo, redo, save, etc, but the jwm file below animates those otherwise dead keys. i left the function lock alone and would have by choice (didn't mess with print screen simply because i like it as screen shot and you could add to it ala key 230 (which you'll soon see)), but i couldn't get xev to identify the light switch or the spell key. messed around with some logitech stuff and it seems to map similar. will test out adesso as well and see how much of the media assignments are universal--on the pups i've used, the volume toggles invariably work, but the browser home buttons are more often than not dead, i find (they work/generally are an unwelcomed shock in xenial64, though).

tems main template menu has been updated and given a prominet key, as have maybe too many nwp codes in general. use the cheat sheet if the function is not immediately clear. use the includes files below (or variations of it) for your own keys, but double check that things are the same with xev even if your keyboard has an envelope button, a house button, etc (identical models should behave the same and not require this step).

wasn't able to post either the comment wondering how to post beneath one's attachment or anything below the attachment, but above is a very nwp/pwn anubis heavy jwm keyboard insert file that will get back and multiply the functionality of some aftermarket keyboards (this is set to the ms ergo keyboard above--i'll eventually do remaps for some logitech products i have--an ergo wireless keyboard, a new version that's slim and has a trackpad but had no middle click function, --i figure one set to highlight the word processor/utilities pack and another to just maximize customizability and functionality--just rows of blank templates like i did with the function keys (the physical ones, not those in /nwp/keys/k).

as the comment says,
<!--replace the mixer lines (or comment them out) and add
this file saved as /nwp/root3/msnatkb with
<Include>/nwp/root3/msnatkb<Include> in their place
-->
this will get rid of your dublicate browser shortcuts, match up some (i didn't look into send or forward because i don't do that much--those have been remapped to set anchor, rectangular select to anchor, select to anchor) of the labels with reality, and make the nwp pretty easy to use. launcher code cheat sheet should explain program codes that otherwise seem cryptic.(many keys now launch aemenus).

keycuts for keycode 230 (the star button top middle) show how you can expand down on a key just about as easily or conveniently as across--just depends on what you can manage to arrange in a way that will make sense to you.

from http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m90/ ... wb0s0t.jpg, an image too big to considerately post, so the text bit:

keys marked with an asterisk (home, envelope, mute toggle, volume up, volume down) are premapped by the keyboard, the machine, or possibly your windows manager. in most cases, pressing a modifier key will reveal what key code is being used--most dedicated function keys seem to be modifiers plus regular keyboard keys. you can either start your modifications with those keys modified or you can remap the originals if possible--xev can't see them when they're pressed on their own, but most reveal the base key when a modifier is added. keys that don't work in this model are the light switch looking thing, the key marked "spell," and the key that toggles the function keys. home, mute, volume up and down are part of jwm's built ins (i intend to demote the original
functions to 4 modifiers. being labeled, they'll be easy to identify, and four is an easy enough number to remember.

ACS4 is the jwm version of the same--seems most programs allow up to at least four modifiers...

post is long enough but in short, the main feature of the upgrade is the ability to set run actions for your word processing files (or any other, though it was put together in part to a geany-vtg type start center). from the comments on a picture in a folder in my repo:
Quote:

another use for the mcc (make concurrent copies) function is assigning text files to pairs of programs (browser-text editor) by having the copies carry an extension that will set them apart from everything else. right click in rox to set both a run action (pick something from the duals folder, to continue on the word processing bent, though that's not strictly necessary) and icon. screen shot shows...

had the names on the icons wrong for one thing (left out a -x), but that method of setting them works so inconsistently (or i confused something by repeatedly swapping back and forth so many times) i ended up putting an alt-icons folder in usr//share/applications just so i could easily right-click assign them--it's a useless part of the script. :lol:

maybe messing with that /root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/ROX-Filer/globicons file is a better way?()

anyway, i used it in a pinstall script for a pet that was making most of a remaster and the copies all have the four extensions register as unique entities that can get their own programs and icon assignments (which is cool/i'm over the disappointment and inconvenience). :D

from
fixing a bug with the auxiliary launchers or keycuts
pruning or setting drive arrays
:

there's no reason to issue a pet fix for the edpin problem--just use the auxiliary launchers or built-in keycuts to fix it. method one: main launcher (shift+spacebar), gl (opens the file in geany; use ll if you want to open the file in leafpad), enter, edpin, enter.

this opens up "edpin" for editing (if the file didn't exist, it would make a blank file with that name for you to save in the location of choice--gl and ll are word processing functions at least as much as configuration and maintenance tools) and presents

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh 
geany /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/Pup* 
/nwp/edpin 
 

to fix it, add a pound sign to or delete the last line, making it

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh 
geany /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/Pup* 
#/nwp/edpin #--this was supposed to have been commented out
 
had i just left the /nwp/part off (comment mark would've made it the title), no real harm would've been done--it would've just made a file called "edpin" that had no set location for its contentlessness (beyond /root/edpin--root seems to be geany's default location for files made this way. the ones you create through the file > new dialog i believe get made in /tmp...). as it stood, the file as command continually reactivated itself as the last step. comment makes it back into a tile, and brings up another error, this time in documentation.

maybe i was still in shock at having to reboot (such a simple script (when done right) and geany is normally so reliable...), but i should've pointed out that the bare dual launcher codes need to be prefaced with their full path (/nwp/) because the codes aren't part of the PATH (those that are can be bare. i.e. geany -i /root/1 /etc/2 will open up those files when you activate the vtg (either through the keyboard (alt+z), the menus (vtg or the cauliflower), the tray (cauliflower)...)). so, for example, if you want geany and pale moon to open the files, use

Code: Select all

/nwp/gp /path/to/file /path(s)/to/file(s) 

default shortcuts for most recent spins/nwps use the above, so method two is alt+k (or l, if if you want the file opened in leafpad), add the pound sign, save. that will fix the script so that "edpin" in the launcher opens up the six new pins. (index finger gets k for key launcher because i at one time believed it would see more use, or, if used at all, would be used somewhat heavily). if you want driveless pins, or more control over their placement than normally holds in Puppy, look for the bit that has "args" in it. those are your drive icons (i.e. <icon x="32" y="836" label="sda1" args="drive ext4">/root/.pup_event/drive_sda1</icon>)

delete the lot for driveless, copy your extant set over from PuppyPin (no extra number) to have it on each of the alternate pins. since they are now frozen with the text file, they'll remain in (odd, if you so choose) position(s) even after the auto redrawing of icons that occurs at boot and X restarts.

if you want to automount all your drives, you could drag musher0's monter5 script out of quar in Startup. since alt plus spacebar is root, one of the first things i do on a new install is activate that shortcut, then navigate to startup adn /my-applications/bin and make those (by use of ctrl plus number) rox speed dials 2 and 3. if you want to automount at a click and your discretion, leave monter5 in /quar (alt+t spacebar then 2 to get to its parent folder if you followed the quick links howto above).

rox is cool. :D

(rl, the last launcher in that bank, is rox opened at /nwp/--the short names of the mostly blank directories are to provide quick cover for you and your creations--d plus enter in that one gets you a blank directory, nwp's version of My Documents, my-documents (though there's also a "docs"), etc).

have fun with it.
:D
not sure if this will help clarify things, or from where you need to enter the discussion to be in need of clarification, but this update and bugfix also seems to me to be a howto and an explanation of some more of the nwp's features.

further, while it does get documents created and saved and arguably sorted and stored, and all very quickly, the formatting is best kept for pasting into more proper word processors like google docs, libreoffice, or even notecase (which can also export to html (and therefore pdf)). the print view will give you a scalable interface, but lately isn't heeding the viewport, at least not in 64 bit. haven't tested on 32 bit lately, but it doesn't seem to work as consistently (is it a browser issue?) as i remembered. for my own use, i use the nwp((as in (A NWP/A NWPUS) primarily for document creation and modification and the utilities side of things. if i need to edit more formally, i paste into libre or google. i'll make a return to the minimal versions (under 50k) in a release or two, but these last two are relatively monstrous--14mb. there may be a weight reduction pet in the future to reduce this--there's some redundant documentation and many icons that can be autogenerated if needed...)
the newer tiny noop will be in at least two versions, both smaller than the original: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 360#860360. i'm thinking at least one version should incorporate the new Quasi-Proprietary File Type feature, possibly as an offshoot of the mcc (make concurrent copies) feature.

mcc: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 287#902287 (attachment at the end shows it being used for this purpose)




32/64.4 pet puts the alt-icons folder in your usr/share/applications diretory. it contains the drag and drop dual launchers for word processing use and some icons--right click a file to which you added one of those extensions (pwn, pwp, sans, ser, def3, def4, mons, mon...) to set an icon and run action for it. you've got four new categories, none of which have to be actually set for word processor use.

Image

the six choices (pp1-6 in the launcher) are really the same 2 three times each. one's more minimal and the other's got some tools useful for getting you first set up, though it's hard for me to say which i'd choose to mod--easier to drag to one or delete from the other...

shown are some of the suggested icons for the word processor (or libre--i actually prefer that odt icon to the regular one as it sets it apart from the docx files better). [...]


from:
a bit more on the pinboards
also a little more on the word processor





d a (nine over the original) menu set) Panels and Pins submenu will overwrite all six with your current pinboard's layout.

well, i'm pretty sure there are launcher codes to make 24 and/or 30 (both, i think) more pinboards, but i can't seem to find them at the moment.

will try to find a focuswriter that works in tahr64 without the need for the 32 bit compatibility sfs to further make up for the removal of abiword (and to bring it in line with the other spins). here's the gif using the mcc function:[/quote]


mk24 is the command for the 24 pinboards--it copies your first one and overwrites all the others, so make that the one you'd like to use as a basic template (if you actually want 24 pinboards). there appears to be no built in mk30, which would be cut with the trimming to come if it existed and i remembered. thinking of taking making the deps a separate package (tried out 64.4 just now in xenial64 and had to install the xdotool deps through the ppm--apparently that lib package never madr it in? was working on a windows partition (which i never do but got a new machine...) and certain packaging didn't go as smoothly as in the past. so, stop gap as this update is, the unfixed edpin can ruin your day (or at least force a shut-down) and is present in probably the last six or so noops.

so, an update, a bit of a howto, a bit of an overview.

and review.
(thing's become bloated and needs to be trimmed down somewhat--sub meg xz is now a 14 meg pet. notecase does html better...the file generation aspect's probably the pwp's (puppy word processor) strongest feature, and the vtg arguably does it better. run action/icon through the drag and drop below.

renaming the old nwp directory before petting in the new one is probably the fastest and easiest way to preserve your customizations (if there are many, the fastest and easiest way is probably to pet them back over the incoming rewrites (/nwp/pets, the rox right menu, and the mae menu have options for doing this).

add F13-F35/KP_F1-4 to your keyboard and enable mod3

#47 Post by Puppus Dogfellow »

the geany menu the nwp installs (root2 and gg in the launcher) uses four modifiers and virtual keys to assign unobtrusive (can't interfere with something that in all likelihood doesn't exist--see sample jwm and ae menus below) keycuts to some geany functions, but you could also make those keys physical with the included pet. this would make accessing something like "rectangular select to anchor" or "open up a list of all the current geany documents itself as a geany document" (right click to use as a table of contents/bookmarks of sorts--control+shift+o will also open the document under the cursor) even faster than arrowing down to selection on the auxiliary menu or alt+h (key launcher's under the right index finger if you installed the nwp pet from earlier) plus acwff#. in fact, now that you can have an F39 (really KP_4, but the real fake F keys go up to 35) that's an actual key. here's a sample of the jwm geany menu and the ae version in its entirety:


#ae menu for geany shortcuts (deps xdotool)
cmd "vtg" "xdotool key ctrl+9 ctrl+8 Return F2 ctrl+7"
cmd "move first" "xdotool key alt+ctrl+shift+super+F14"
cmd "last used" "xdotool key alt+ctrl+shift+super+F13"
cmd "move last" "xdotool key alt+ctrl+shift+super+F15"

cmd "geany --document list" "geany --list-documents > /tmp/glstd; geany /tmp/glstd"

cmd "documents (gny)" "xdotool key alt+ctrl+shift+super+F20"
cmd "tree-file list (gny)" "xdotool key alt+ctrl+shift+super+F21"
cmd "tree-path (gny)" "xdotool key alt+ctrl+shift+super+F22"
cmd "scribble" "xdotool key F6"
cmd "focus editor (gny)" "xdotool key F2"
cmd "toggle message window (geany)" "xdotool key ctrl+7"

<Key mask="A" keycode="251">exec:/nwp/keys/k/acswf17</Key>

here's the pet that modifies your keyboard so that you can add F13-F35 and KP_1-KP_4:

xmod8287.1.1.pet

here's the info/help file:
click to activate, edit the reset script to suit your layout, edit the runs scripts to suit your preferences, drag run script to startup to have one of the following active by default:

run8287 -- Caps_Lock is Modeswitch, Scroll_Lock is Caps_Lock; additional Function keys added to
Modeswitch+F1-F12 for second twelve and Modeswitch+ the number row for the 12 after that (F series only goes up to F35 but the key pad has an additional four (KP_F#) for a total of 39. "F37-F39" are Modeswitch p+ q,w, and e; Hypr_R is added as mod3 (works in JWM but not Rox) and the key put on Pause ond Escape; Modeswitch + Escape is Escape; Modeswitch + either Tab or Backspace is the Menu key. Menu, for keyboards that have it, is usually keycode 77 or 117 (and can be repurposed).

run82 -- Caps_Lock is Modeswitch, Pause is Caps_Lock, Menu is Modeswitch+q.

run82m -- Caps_Lock is Modeswitch, Pause is Hyper_R (mod 3), multimedia key under F2 (check your setup with xev) is Caps_Lock, Menu is Modeswitch+q.

run84 -- Caps_Lock is Modeswitch, Scroll_Lock is Caps_Lock, Menu is Modeswitch+q.

run84c -- Caps_Lock is Control_L, Pause is Modeswitch, Scroll_Lock is Caps_Lock

run84m -- Caps_Lock is Modeswitch, Pause is Hyper_R (mod 3), Scroll_Lock is Caps_Lock, Menu is Modeswitch+q.

run87 -- Caps_Lock is Modeswitch, Scroll_Lock is Caps_Lock

run87m -- Caps_Lock is Modeswitch, Pause is Hyper_R (mod 3), Scroll_Lock is Caps_Lock

------
you may need to disable or reassign some jwm defaults (like screen shot and the global volume controls, or the root and windows menus) to be able to customize the whole set (key often won't show up as a key or otherwise assignable entity if there's a windows manager function that grabs it first. use xev to check keycodes (these keysyms and keycodes are consistent on all my machines, but the multimedia keys almost never are).

</JWM>
here's the contents of the one preset (8287) that includes the function key mod. (you can copy that bit to any of the others):
!nwp/vtg-xmod
! 35 function keys plus 4 kp function keys (plus 26+ moddable with the 3 mask(+))
! 8287
! caps lock becomes mode switch, scroll lock becomes caps lock
remove Lock = Caps_Lock
keycode 78 = Caps_Lock
! keycode 110 = Caps_Lock
! ^pause key (110) gets made Hyper_R below; this is here for boards with no scroll lock (swap the lead exclamation point between 78/110 lines to set choice). escape becomes modeshift plus escape and Hyper_R otherwise, so you can really use 110 for whatever you like)
keycode 66 = Mode_switch
add Lock = Caps_Lock


!function keys are modeswitch plus function row for second twelve and modeswitch plus the number row for the 12 after that (F series only goes up to F35 but the key pad has an additional four for a total of 39. "f37-f39" are modeswitch plus q,w, and e.

keycode 67 = F1 F1 F13 F13 F1 F1
keycode 68 = F2 F2 F14 F14 F2 F2
keycode 69 = F3 F3 F15 F15 F3 F3
keycode 70 = F4 F4 F16 F16 F4 F4
keycode 71 = F5 F5 F17 F17 F5 F5
keycode 72 = F6 F6 F18 F18 F6 F6
keycode 73 = F7 F7 F19 F19 F7 F7
keycode 74 = F8 F8 F20 F20 F8 F8
keycode 75 = F9 F9 F21 F21 F9 F9
keycode 76 = F10 F F22 F22 F10 F10
keycode 95 = F11 F F23 F23 F11 F11
keycode 96 = F12 F F24 F24 F12 F12

keycode 10 = 1 exclam F25 F25 exclam 1
keycode 11 = 2 at F26 F26 at 2
keycode 12 = 3 numbersign F27 F27 numbersign 3
keycode 13 = 4 dollar F28 F28 dollar 4
keycode 14 = 5 percent F29 F29 percent 5
keycode 15 = 6 asciicircum F30 F30 asciicircum 6
keycode 16 = 7 ampersand F31 F31 ampersand 7
keycode 17 = 8 asterisk F32 F32 asterisk 8
keycode 18 = 9 parenleft F33 F33 parenleft 9
keycode 19 = 0 parenright F34 F34 parenright 0
keycode 20 = minus underscore F35 F35 underscore minus underscore
keycode 21 = equal plus equal KP_F1 KP_F1 equal plus
keycode 24 = q Q KP_F2 KP_F2 q Q
keycode 25 = w W KP_F3 KP_F3 w W
keycode 26 = e E KP_F4 KP_F4 e E

! code below adds Hyper_R as mod 3 (works in jwm but not rox)
keycode 9 = Hyper_R NoSymbol Escape NoSymbol Escape
keycode 22 = BackSpace Terminate_Server Menu Terminate_Server BackSpace Terminate_Server
keycode 23 = Tab ISO_Left_Tab Menu ISO_Left_Tab Tab ISO_Left_Tab
! Menu "key" on modeshift (old caps lock) plus backspace and tab for boards without
keycode 110 = Hyper_R
add mod3 = Hyper_R
!Pause and Escape are Mod3(Hyper_R); Modeswitch is Caps_Lock, Caps_Lock is Scroll_Lock; Modeswitch plus Escape is Escape; Modeswitch plus either Tab or Backspace is the Menu key. Menu, for keyboards that have it, is usually keycode 77 (and can be repurposed)
! you may need to disable or reassign some jwm defaults (like screen shot and the global volume controls, or the root and windows menus) to be able to customize the whole set (key often won't show up as a key or otherwise assignable entity if there's a windows manager function that grabs it first.
as a reminder, the launchers off the main launcher also have keys assigned to them in jwm (with the nwp installed):
alt+h -- /nwp/k (virtual key launcher)
alt+j -- /nwp/rl (rox launcher)
alt+k -- /nwp/gl (geany launcher)
alt+l -- /nwp/ll (leafpad launcher)

reassign and/or put the menu codes on the Fkeys

here's a screenshot of the xmodmaps folder that the pet adds to /root/my-applications; open it with "kset" in the launcher or from the Utilities menu (the desktop file just opens a folder with a few tools and configuration files in it). click a choice to run, edit the rest button/script to suit your layout (set for u.s.), and link or copy your choice to Startup to have it active as default.

19k mini word processor that uses the vtg as a start center

#48 Post by Puppus Dogfellow »

bwp1.2.pet

earlier in the thread (http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 364#860364) i go on about geany as a word processor, or at least start to make an issue of it. here's a version that's actually good enough to use (though in the end, most of your editing may end up being done in your browser windows, and the organization through your browsers' bookmarks).

see
Styles,Scrap2/bwp help and info,
[...] an update to the bbwp/mcc-wp mini word processor, and another update of the mini word processor for more, but to possibly save you a click or two, or at least show you a somewhat practical use for the thing, here's most of the second half (the more vtg-heavy half) of that help file (same as spin update post above):
Puppus Dogfellow wrote:bwp1.2.pet

more color, font, and special character options, more support (documentation) for the vtg (backups, launching variations of sets with multiple browsers, general review), and now you can launch the templates from the styles or box tabs. the Styles,Scrap2/bwp help and info in the vtg folder mentioned a post up attempts to explain the changes and how to further customize and use the bwp.

from Part Two of Styles,Scrap2/bwp help and info
[...]__

added some special characters to the original styles sheet:

______________
this may be the legacy styles sheet, but it's as good a place as any to offer more special characters for your copy and pasting enjoyment or needs:

[...]
___
yet another source:
https://www.copypastecharacter.com/all-characters
(april update introduces colors and additional formatting options, as well as allowing for a reduced initial launch (bwp regulates some of it to the "box" files)).


and here's the newer pinstall.sh:

#!/bin/sh
#bwp, a version of bbwp, a fragment of anuupus...
#right click templates for spell check and no spell check were backwards last time.
#updated version gives support for more fonts, colors, and paragraph alignment (through styles,scrap2; see the other styles sheet for credits and links. in short, you edit in a browser tab and save through your browser's file (html) and print (pdf) menus. bookmark individual files or folders as tabs or groups thereof. use the vtg and geany as additional means of launching or backing up your work. copy in formatting from the styles tabs to the spellcheck/no spellcheck blanks. default is left aligned serif.

[...]


--

most of the changes come from the box files/tabs, which now allow you to launch the templates from startup links (not all the links carry over with the copy-paste; the text box and upload functions unsurprisingly don't work from this document:

[...]


use the styles templates to grab (select or copy) formatting (colors, font, paragraph, etc) to paste
(ctrl+v) or middle click into your working document. copy the u, i, and b from the underline, bold, and
italics bits to have them available from the clipboard (less moving about between tabs to format your
document--those shortcuts vary by clipboard, but the cut, copy, paste, redo and undo all work as expected).
download your working template/s as html, open and bookmark it/them, and use the print menu to save your work as pdf.

thanks to http://https://thiscouldbebetter.wordpr ... javascrip/
for this page's download box, and thanks to this pcworld article for the editable tab code (data:text/html, <html contenteditable>)
the whole thing depends upon. (paste it (without the parentheses) into the address bar of your browser for a wider page view.

that's pretty much it. vtg'ing the launches through a start center (browserofchoice /paths/to/files as sessions) may be easier and allow more control in the long run.

Part 3:

_ to 1--cleanup.
1 to 1.1 cleanup.

bwp1.1.pet

19k

(think it's okay. only thing to add, which would be separate (so part three may as well've read epilogue), would be a vtg launch sheet of some kind (easier and faster to use and customize than a window manager menu or a browser interface)).


_____


sample vtg entries (alt+z or click the cauliflower)(not part of base bwp, but you can always dump the codes you hone into a terminal if you haven't installed the full nwp)

geany /path/to/file /path/toooo/file (etc)

leafpad /file/6| leafpad /file/7| leafpad /file/8| leafpad /file/9| leafpad /file/10

geany -i /path/to/file /path/toooo/file (etc)

defaultbrowser /root/my-applications/bbwp/html/bbwp-1-spchk /root/my-applications/bbwp/html

rox /your/stuff_that's_here/ /and/there /etc/stuff

(copy and paste as templates and substitute your files and their locations; rearrange combinations, swap in other browsers (most will take the above syntax it seems. leafpad has to be asked as above rather than the more convenient way rox and geany can carry it out (you can grab your files by selecting them physically then pasting their highlight into a text document--instant batch launch for most everything except leafpad)...

anyway, like i said, apart from the basically separate issue vtg stuff (if it were part of the pinstall i'd just've noted the dual use in the comments), bwp1.1 is done and contains its own help file (the bulk of its size and also the way it handles your formatting choices).

bbwpe gives a sample of all the bwp's files set up for easy copy, paste, or launching:


#!/bin/sh
geany -i /root/my-applications/bbwp/html/Styles,Scrap2.html /root/my-applications/bbwp//html/box1 /root/my-applications/bbwp/html/Untitled2 /root/my-applications/bbwp/html/Untitled1 /root/my-applications/bbwp/html/Styles /root/my-applications/bbwp/html/bbwp-1-spchk /root/my-applications/bbwp/html/bbwp-2-nospchk /root/my-applications/bbwp/html/box2.html /root/my-applications/bin/bwp

(gave a makeshift vtg launch sheet a shot)

----

4/27

upped 1.2. (insert tab support, more readable box content (box1 and 2 are both the same, and the old styles sheet grew from 17 to 82k, but the pet is still 19k). here's the description and the older folder's version of this file:

bwp to 1.1 cleaned mostly broken or misguided links. for the upcoming 1.2 box 1 and 2 are improved but identical (and so even more redundant (experiment with no fear!) given the copies that get made in usr/local and the nwp/wp (and the templates folder, now that i think of it--it's also just occurred to me i may not have mentioned the right click function version of the process in these pages--just right click it into existence, drag that file (or folder, if you chose the whole bwp-0 directory) to a browser, and you can run it from wherever you like, using the templates mostly for scrap (reload rather than save and you can start over til you get the hang of grabbing it the right way).

(i'm still kind of surprised it works this well).

vtg sheet will have backup functions via rsync -au and or cp -au (not that i know what the difference between au and a is--they both seem to work at least as well as cp -fRu, and update metadata better--not much experience or knowledge in this regard (and many others), but was using cp --fRu to update the nwp before i learned how to make pets. i think rsync is newer and cp is an ancient unix built-in that comes as a given with every kernel (which in my newbie state i take as the core of a current linux, with everything else on top being how developers make it usable for people who aren't developers) (and sometimes for those who are). you may not have rsync, but you probably do and it may be better. it's designed for networks, but
cp --help > /tmp/cph; geany /tmp/cph
rsync --help > /tmp/rsynch; geany /tmp/rsync
will give a sheet you can play around with as you learn more
(more vtg issue stuff, but you can always work out what you want from the help file and, once settled on the right code, dump it into the terminal for basically the same experience.)

...

so a little rambling to say i've updated the box scripts in the html folder (everything's got a newer date but i believe that's all i changed since the last upload).


___
bwp files, but google drive can't display the html the same way ibiblio (for example) does (or appears to to me).

might be easier to just install or extract the pet for a peek.

main change over bwp0 is the ability to call the templates from box tab itself.

more special characters and external links added (related projects).

___

p.dogfellow, 4/26

(original styles sheet updated to include variations on some of the formatting options in styles2 and some additional (mostly latin diacritic stuff) special characters) (also a really good link for that). it's in the online help folder as large,optional(82k), but it'll be the main version of the old styles/help/scrap sheet and the 17k version will be here for you to swap in if you like (backup code coming for the vtg will have something in it to automate this).

pd



pet is 19k under the same compression i used before.

(now up)



, which i'll now link back to here and try to remember is defunct.

________

vtg stuff:


1. basic backups

change the /file/wp bit at the end of each line to a place on your system you'd like for the backups. this will make the copies at usr/local/bwp the bwp folder, the html folder is your stuff launched from /root/my-applications/bbwp, and your bbwp folder from nwp comes over with that name. this backup is on the same partition as the other stuff (unless you've symlinked up your system otherwise), so a safer place may be another drive entirely (for which you could also do cp -a /file/wp /path/and/folder/you/pick (use the mkdir -p command if it doesn't already exist).

mkdir -p /file/wp/
cp -au /root/my-applications/bbwp/html /usr/local/bwp/ /nwp/wp/bbwp/ /file/wp/

make versions of line above to use your start center to also run backups. similar to the [program] --help >/tmp/progh; geany /tmp/progh type command discussed earlier for cp and rsync, you can use it for tar, which may be a better vtg way of doing backups than makepet, which will force you to use the message window to complete the action (better/quicker to use the right click drag2pet for that, but the bit below below starts the process. use ctrl+7 to toggle in and out of the message window (terminal tab if you're doing it through the menus) to name or otherwise label your pet (you can just hit enter for all the questions and each new archive will overwrite the last. otherwise name them through the popup and window to preserve earlier versions)).
makepet /root/my-applications/bbwp/html/
makepet /nwp/wp/bbwp/
makepet /usr/local/bwp/

right clicking to make a template in a given location will give you access to the drag-to version of makepet. it'll pop open the same little gui (in this capacity, it's something to help you label the pets(backups) of the directories in your archives).

substitute the copy (cp -a) command for a file manager (in puppy, typically rox), and you can open the folders you're copying and fine tune a launch protocol with that:

rox /root/my-applications/bbwp/html /usr/local/bwp/ /nwp/wp/bbwp/ /file/wp/

if you select some of the files from the folders that opened and then middle click into a text editor with a mouse, you get something like these results for the bwp folder in /usr/local:

/usr/local/bwp/bbwp-1-spchk /usr/local/bwp/bbwp-2-nospchk /usr/local/bwp/box1 /usr/local/bwp/box2.html /usr/local/bwp/Styles /usr/local/bwp/Styles,Scrap2.html /usr/local/bwp/Untitled1 /usr/local/bwp/Untitled2

just add a launcher (browser or text editor) and a space before the list. add other files' whole paths to the list (separating each you add by a space--there's no limit, but you may want to divide your files and folders into more manageable (and possibly redundant (for convenience's sake, of course) chunks), and you've got a start center line. place the cursor, click the cauliflower, and your choices will launch. launch with more than one browser to keep versions of a live document available as you work on it. set up how you'll ultimately like your sessions ("bookmark all tabs" in most browsers) to be saved--it's much quicker than doing it one by one through the file-open dialog.

(snuck in 2 and 3, basic start center and vtg as an organizational tool)

-------

NB: backup your stuff before installing any updates. most of this assumes a bbwp in the nwp folder (ignore this for non nwp installations, and ignore the vtg stuff for not vtg installations (though the former becomes a lesson on how to modify the box templates for your own stuff and the the latter is still relevant as "dump your stuff into the terminal instead of striking the cauliflower." (vtg=one line of code, click the cauliflower icon or alt+z; more than one line of code, highlight it then do the same. dumping into a terminal requires highlighting it in its entirety (regardless of how many lines it is) and then middle clicking it into a terminal (and sometimes hitting enter if it didn't automatically run/grab the last "carriage" return)).

highlight groups of files, paste them, arrange them, give them a launch command. that's the vtg start center for bwp, the browser word processor.

….

more help and templates:

the difference between

geany -i /root/my-applications/bbwp/html/Styles,Scrap2.html /root/my-applications/bbwp//html/box1 /root/my-applications/bbwp/html/Untitled2 /root/my-applications/bbwp/html/Untitled1 /root/my-applications/bbwp/html/Styles /root/my-applications/bbwp/html/bbwp-1-spchk
/root/my-applications/bbwp/html/bbwp-2-nospchk /root/my-applications/bbwp/html/box2.html /root/my-applications/bin/bwp

and

geany /root/my-applications/bbwp/html/Styles,Scrap2.html /root/my-applications/bbwp//html/box1 /root/my-applications/bbwp/html/Untitled2 /root/my-applications/bbwp/html/Untitled1 /root/my-applications/bbwp/html/Styles /root/my-applications/bbwp/html/bbwp-1-spchk
/root/my-applications/bbwp/html/bbwp-2-nospchk /root/my-applications/bbwp/html/box2.html /root/my-applications/bin/bwp

is that the -i conveys you wish the files opened in a new instance of geany. for most things, the launch code is as i described, but as you'll see if you do the [program] --help >/tmp/progh; geany /tmp/progh bit for things like firefox and palemoon, there are usually many more options available. to use the vtg start sheet/center for libreoffice, use libreoffice6.0 --writer /paths/2 /your/files /yadda /shae or something similar.


this one's messed up because it's been installed on top of itself too many times--copy from your own actual file locations if you've got the nwp version of the bwp bbwp going.

(the launch from nwp section of your box file may not work correctly even if you have the nwp installed because of this. on the bright side, it means if you're using the thing but keeping the default names for the blanks, or saving your work in the formatting styles sheets, it's less likely the last upgrade just overwrote your work).
(backup your stuff or rename the originals/these are the bits that will be a how to on customizing the box and styles tabs (basically look for the address bits, change those and the associated titles; look for the color bits, use gcolor2 (in most pups) or the geany color chooser to customize yours (queens and keyboards and six digit codes in the styles2 sheet); most things can be pasted in directly; fonts are tricky because just because your machine has it, doesn't mean your audience does on theirs. sizes are sizes, but serif supercalifragilistic may get rendered as plain serif in the end.))

never given a desktop file (the menu entry calls from /root/my apps/bin but is essentially):

defaultbrowser /usr/local/bwp/bbwp-1-spchk /usr/local/bwp/bbwp-2-nospchk /usr/local/bwp/box1 /usr/local/bwp/box2.html /usr/local/bwp/Styles /usr/local/bwp/Styles,Scrap2.html /usr/local/bwp/Untitled1 /usr/local/bwp/Untitled2

use the geany versions (the geany -i code is bbwpe in the terminal and on the menu) to change the tab titles or otherwise overhaul the files, templates, or boxes (there are a few things can't be edited through the editable window itself. alt+1 or n in the launcher in nwp installs gives you paste and place or highlight and select html codes you may find useful).

copy your own files or base your projects on these templates. check the desktop files in /usr/share/applications for an installed applications launch command if it's not the name itself (rare but happens).


______

(you could also launch music or hissing with the vtg if you like:

vlc /path/2/some_song (or playlist)
zensound; xdotool key f10 down down enter
(think the last bit is really F10 Down Down Return))
.

general tip: put quotation marks around paths that have spaces in them (prog "/path/2/spaced name").
***


here's an example of the color mod lines to look for (you're just replacing the D41B75 part with a six digit code you grabbed from one of the color wheels mentioned or some other of your choosing):

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%" align="justify"><font color="#D41B75">⌨</font></p>

you can also try swapping in fonts by duplicating any lines that name one and just changing that bit to something you know is an official font name (use gfontsel to pick some (the more common, the more likely your viewer will see what you think you're putting before them).

here's an example of the address/link lines in the file you can customize:

<a href="file:///nwp/wp/bbwp/html/bbwp-1-spchk" target="_blank">spchk</a><p>

use http:// instead of file:/// for web addresses. (this is also on the n and alt+1 menus as paste and place nwp commands (versions of link and table of contents entries)).


n menu refers to the shift plus spacebar popup menus (enter "n" in the p(wn) launcher). most of those formatting items have individual launch codes (check the lists above) assigned (which is generally a much faster way of getting them or doing most things).
short version: paste in formatting from the styles tabs and be sure to download your work to save it if using browser mode. edit the titles, customize the colors, and brainstorm in geany; fine tune stuff, type a tab space without jumping through a hoop (next version)--the main disadvantage of browser view mode is a slower save process.

it's light and quick and can be pared down further. middle click paste highlighted groups of files into a geany document to set up batch launches. launch from multiple sources to have many versions of a draft going at the same time. bookmark tabs as sessions. have fun.

bwp 1.3: some new backup and formatting shortcuts,

#49 Post by Puppus Dogfellow »

bwp1.3.pet upped.


if you're working in the default templates and styles/info/scrap sheets, run

Code: Select all

mkdir -p /file/wp/
cp -au /root/my-applications/bbwp/html /usr/local/bwp/ /nwp/wp/bbwp/ /file/wp/
or something similar before upgrading so your stuff doesn't get overwritten (it'll be in /file/wp as described below. change the locations to suit your preferences--code is also the new ark and arc nwp shortcuts (ll (or gl, since this is after all the geany thread version of all this) in main (p) launcher followed by the name of the file to quickly edit it after installation in full nwp installs).

more from that Styles,Scrap2/bwp help and info file:

will probably have 1.3 up by the morning (unless the mcc version ends up getting merged into it). here's the new pinstall script so far:

#updated version gives support for more fonts, colors, and paragraph alignment (through styles,scrap2; see the other styles sheet for credits and links. in short, you edit in a browser tab and save through your browser's file (html) and print (pdf) menus. bookmark individual files or folders as tabs or groups thereof. use the vtg and geany as additional means of launching or backing up your work. copy in formatting from the styles tabs to the spellcheck/no spellcheck blanks. default is left aligned serif.

(that's both arc and ark--two new (customizable) nwp launch codes (talking full nwp installs; after installation, gl or ll in the launcher and then either ark or arc in the next launcher (geany or leafpad) and you can edit the paths or set others for easy backups (a good place to add a "cp -au /file/wp /path/and/folder/you/pick #(use the mkdir -p command if it doesn't already exist)" as mentioned earlier.



the "duals" mentioned is just a folder of drag-to scripts for opening the bwp's (and earlier versions') files (individually or in batches) in a browser and text editor simultaneously. seems to fit with the drag to copy and drag to pet scripts it already has. anyway, it's just a dozen or so variations on:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
exec defaulttexteditor "$@"| exec defaultbrowser "$@"
the four possible variations for text editor part were the above, geany, geany -i, and leafpad. did a bunch of substitution in geany with the cnt code (

Code: Select all

echo $'
(content--script spits out a sample create-file-with-content template)
' > (path to file)
(see above for the fixed broken hrl tag version--it'll show you what to do if your 'content' has the symbols (& ') the code needs to use as the beginning and end of what you want it to make. if only single quotes (an apostrophe), use doubles (real quotes), or use backslashes any time you need to show a (ex:) \& or \' in what gets printed out to > .../(filename)

(i think you may need to \ \'s, but i'm not sure; it may be just a character without something to "escape.")(look up "escaping characters" for more).(in a search engine, not here).

...

and ended with with what appears to be about three dozen (i luckily have little
memory of doing it). as you can see, i gave the desktop files (never got through with making icons for all of them) the same cryptic names as the launcher shortcuts they also point to.
anything with a gi is going to have a new instance of geany launched. same for anything that's got a "geani" in it. defaults x2 is "def" in the launcher (you can drag the files to the running programs instead of the scripts), which is also you'd name them for vtg use. see the shortcuts list in any of the linked threads for more of that sort of stuff.


….seems i ranted myself away from some continuity regarding the screenshot below…

(newer version of the pinstall for 1.3 will add something like:

Code: Select all


#for now i'll just put copies of the drag2pet script and 2 of the
#simultaneous browser-text editor launch scripts in the bwp/bbwp and mcc folders (nwp and /root/my-apps)
#drag either gip or def to the make copies scripts to make a set of templates
#to fit your apps and preferences
echo $'#!/bin/sh
exec defaulttexteditor "$@"| exec defaultbrowser "$@"
' > /root/my-applications/bin/def
chmod 755 /root/my-applications/bin/def
cp -f /root/my-applications/bin/def /nwp/mc/mcc/def
cp -f /root/my-applications/bin/def /root/my-applications/mc/mcc/def
cp -f /root/my-applications/bin/def /root/my-applications/bbwp/html/def
echo $'#!/bin/sh
exec geany -i "$@"| exec palemoon "$@"
' > /root/my-applications/bin/gip
chmod 755 /root/my-applications/bin/gip
cp -f /root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/Templates/drag2makepet /root/my-applications/mc/mcc/drag2makepet
cp -f /root/my-applications/bin/gip /nwp/mc/mcc/gip
cp -f /root/my-applications/bin/gip /root/my-applications/mc/mcc/gip
cp -f /root/my-applications/bin/gip /root/my-applications/bbwp/html/gip
cp -f /root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/Templates/drag2makepet /nwp/mc/mcc/drag2makepet

here's that pic i mentioned:
[...]

here's the contents of that "to decryptify.." file:

one of the drawback to the quick launch codes is that sometimes they're a bit too cryptic to be of use.
here's what the things in the folder open:
(geany with an i indicates it will open a new instance of geany if there's already an instance (or more) running. leaf is leafpad. g by itself is geany. l by itself indicates leafpad is the text editor part of the dual launch. p is pale moon. ff is firefox. c is chromium (ll in leafpad if you're using chrome and you want to give it rather than chromium the quicker launch call.)

defaultsx2.desktop -- opens your default text editor and your default browser
geany-opera.desktop
leaf-dillo.desktop -- dillo leafpad
dlll.desktop -- dillo leafpad
ged.desktop -- geany dillo
leaf-slimjet.desktop -- leafpad slimjet
gc.desktop -- geany chromium
gep.desktop -- geany palemoon
leafy.desktop -- leafpad, seamonkey
geani-chrome.desktop -- chrome, geany new instance
ges.desktop -- geany seamonkey
lec.desktop -- leafpad chromium
geanifirefox.desktop -- geany new instance firefox
gib.desktop -- [seems as though i never actually made the file this one directs you to]
lep.desktop -- leafpad palemoon
geani-opera.desktop -- geany new instance
gic.desktop -- geany new instance
lff.desktop -- leafpad firefox
geany-chrome.desktop -- geany chrome
gid.desktop -- geany new instance
lop.desktop -- leafpad opera
geanydefbrowser.desktop -- geany default browser
gip.desktop -- geany new instance

geany-firefox.desktop -- geany firefox
gis.desktop -- geany new instance seamonkey
txt-ed-ff.desktop -- default text editor firefox
geany-jet.desktop -- geany slimjet
leaf-chrome.desktop -- leafpad google chrome

(still a little cross referencing to do, but this should make it easier (though not every browser listed (i.e. dillo, older operas, …) may be able to use the content editable code the browser view hinges upon.



some new launcher codes:

arc -- backup bwp
ark -- backup bwp (dup)
em -- type out html emspace
en -- type out html en space
tab -- type out html tab space
spc -- type out non breaking space (in text editor mode, html removes breaks and spaces you don't explicitly tag.)
br -- type out line break tags <br>

^(until you remember to remember it at least; <p> tags ("paragraph") are less reliable for this (as the name perhaps suggests. seems to work sometimes though).



if you don't have the nwp and the launch code cheat sheet it provides, and you want the benefits of the text editor's quick saves and text manipulation tools, you could always make a cheat sheet directly on the page and sandwich it with

Code: Select all


<!--  -->

(put all the tags and crib notes between arrows like that (cmt in the launcher) and you'll have something that only shows up in text editor view--neither the browser tab nor the print preview/output/pdf file show that as part of your content).

...

bwp1.3.pet now up. it's up to 23k (240 installed, most of it the original styles sheet copied three times).

10 directories, 26 files

conf2.desktop opens the folders containing the templates, which should help with dragging and dropping onto the dual launchers in bwp, mcc, nwp-wp, etc. (those folders are also the default location ark and arc look to backup).





if you're using the text editor to brainstorm and the browser view to add formatting (font faces and line breaks), make sure to hit refresh on the right windows and in the right order or you may end up overwriting some of your changes with some of your other changes (a second browser's window (separate program--bwp doesn't use much resources) with unrefreshed stages could help. alternately, doing something like \n for <br> in the search and replace boxes (with Use regular expressions ticked) will swap out all your natural line breaks for ones that will show in your pdf and in the browser view that more or less is the one that counts (you could send the pdf, the text file, or the html (i.e that same text file but understood by the machines to be opened in a browser tab), but only two are really comfortably readable for most people). if you want the views between the programs to be more consistent, you could instead substitute the line breaks for line breaks plus the break tag: \n for \n<br>
if the new browser view is too wide, adjust the line width back to 60 or whatever suits your preferences and habits best (you can view it as a thin column in between stacks of post it notes and the pdf/browser/ultimate layout isn't affected).

careful with the browser refreshes and geany reloads and the order you do them; a careless browser refresh can wipe out a lot of work, though backup views in other tabs, windows, or browsers (or geany windows for that matter) may add additional safeguards.

as always, enjoy, have fun, report problems.

--pd

____

after further consideration, i think the br substitution deal discussed above is a bit dopey (though perhaps useful in other scenarios). since pasting your natural (typed rather than coded) tab spaces, non breaking spaces, and line breaks from from a plain text file works with those empty spaces preserved, there's really no reason to fiddle with the matter in geany view. said another way, for brainstorming, plain text files (leafpad or geany) pasted into a master document of sorts (one of your browser view versions or templates) may make more sense and save time in the long run (and also produce more readable rough/text editor mode drafts); the browser window can handle the formatting more intuitively, the text windows save quicker and have better text manipulation tools available, and if you've already got the nwp or mcc pet installed, there's now makepet backup capability coming from the mcc drag to make copies folder, which can now also dual launch your template files (and you can deposit a bunch of those templates there or anywhere else on your system with a right click if you're using rox).

hi to the op (original poster-- original puppy?) who was very helpful and friendly the previous time i was here--

this thread (geany as launcher) reminds me how you can always get fun ideas when you come here.

this place is full of fun ideas. its a very large collection of fun ideas. so thank you puppus, this is a fun idea-- and the second cool thing ive read about geany this week.
