Hooks to customize code editors?

Hey, where is the best place to add my own enhancements to the code text editors used by version 8.6?

I don't need to do anything complicated, just be able to insert some generated text at the current cursor location when I press a hot key combination. I'm trying to move over part of our coding practices from the VSE image that we use.

Thanks for any ideas,

-Carl

Re: Hooks to customize code editors?

Hi Carl,

One route is to get a handle on the text widget in an EtWindow-based browser and add your own event handler

See EtWindow>>stsKeyPress:clientData:callData. for an example.

So something like:

etWindow := <Get Handle on window>

etWindow targetTextWidget

addEventHandler: KeyPressMask

receiver: [:widget :clientData :callData | "Perform logic here"]

selector: #value:value:value:

clientData: nil
