Thanks for the reply.

I'd created much the same thing... I think the bit that was missing (until I just spotted it) for me is the Keyboard Options and the ability to have the Text input pop-up check-spelling, and offer sugguestions.

I've enabled these and it makes it much more usable.

It's still perhaps not as slick as if the cursor were in the filename right away, or if the first line of the document body could form the name. But it's better.

Perhaps what I'm really after just isn't do-able.

Definitely. You can use requests to make API calls.

This feature was never available in the iPhone version, it's iPad only.

Thanks and congrats! Keep up the good work Ole!

OK. Thanks for the swift reply.

You might in a future release want to highlight embedded HTML. Or at least comments. I think the former is easier to do than actually parsing it to find just comments. One colour for the lot.

Wonderful... Thanks.

@omz thank you for your fast answer. But what I wanted to show you is that the slowing down problem is especially severe only to Korean. It does slow down in typing long Korean text, while it does not slow down in typing long english text. (Both texts I attached are about 1600 characters.) You can see the difference if you test it.

Not only does the dev support his apps still, he answers questions on here quite frequently. I believe editorial and pythonista are his main focus...

Thanks @peterh and @ccc for the suggestions. I'm aware of these features and use them heavily, but this question is specifically about sharing python code via import - which @rvolta's do allow.

It is an older version of Paramiko. Is there any way to manually update Paramiko on Editorial? I don't really want to mess with FTP, especially as SFTP is so much more secure and easy to setup.

from __future__ import division import editor # <put the fractions_to_floats() and feet_and_inches() code here> def main(): text = editor.get_selected_text() if text: start, end = editor.get_selection() editor.replace_text(start, end, feet_and_inches(text)) main()

Editorial already supports assigning keyboard shortcuts to workflows. Just tap on "Abbreviation / Shortcut" in a workflow's details. Note that abbreviations and shortcuts are not the same thing. An abbreviation can be typed either with the on-screen keyboard or with a hardware keyboard, but it cannot contain modifier keys. A typical abbreviation would consist of multiple letters. A shortcut however only consists of one key plus one to four modifier keys (⌘=command, ⌥=option, ⇧=shift, ⌃=control). The shortcut is defined in the top row of the shortcut/abbreviation settings.

Yes, I agree with rvojta, jump in.

I Google my questions, with python at the start, to find how others do it. First I find a python script that does approximately what I want, using Google or by searching this forum or the extra workflows website. Then I change the script bit by bit, googling all the way. I think python is so complicated that you can't learn it in the usual way and then write scripts from scratch.

Thanks for the helpful reply!

Awesome workflow! Thanks!

Thanks for the help

@ccc Check RV: Workflow Installer. That's what I meant (except Python modules). I made it for myself. Would be nice to have this in Editorial directly.

I will check it out. Thanks!

FYI discussion started by this workflow.
