Outliner with drag/drop reordering
-
Yes, it would only be at the beginning of the line that it would change the level/indentation.
-
@ihf Just to show'that I don't forget you. But I don't yet have a version that I could give you for initial tests. Only normal characters, tab and linefeed are "supported" (this word does not mean bugfree).
As soon that A version supports backspace, I'll post it, only to be sure I don't go far from your hopes.For info, outlines will be colored (via AttributedText) only to differentiate with typed characters.
The format button is only there to be nicer, actually only decimal is supported
Version size = 231 lines, just to prove it does almost nothing.
-
@ihf 30 minutes later, it now supports (partially?) alphanumeric format
But quid if higher than Z,z,....?
don't worry actually about alignment of outlines, not yet even thought
-
@ihf and now, traditional (I postpone the moment when I'll have to develop the backspace 🙄)
-
@cvp, suggestion: use TableView for easy reordering, swipe left & right to change outline level.
Copying would need extra support, though.
-
@mikael I had hesitated because this choice has also other consequences...
I have already begun (400 lines) with a TextView.
But you are perhaps right.
I have to choose quickly before I'm to far.
I'll decide this week-end, I hope, because enough busy with my smala visiting me. -
@mikael said:
swipe left & right to change outline level.
Normally, tab increases level
Left delete decreases levelQuicker than swiping, I think
-
@cvp, true, if you have an external keyboard. iPhone keyboard does not even have a tab key. 😁
-
@mikael is that not a tab key? Ha ok, sorry, this is an iPad...
-
@mikael and user does not really need a left tab key.
Left tab is used to set cursor at previous tab, that's not the case here, it could need to delete a tab to decrease level, thus left delete is good for that -
@mikael and another problem is that you need a TextField at each row...
Sincerely, except move/drag features, I'm not sure of which is the best. -
@cvp, sure, there’s pros and cons, and @ihf’s use case should provide some guidance here.
But you can have a TextView that resizes to fit the paragraph, and TableView rows that also resize to their contents.
-
@mikael Agree, not easy to choose. I'll actually go on with TextView until I meet to much problems.
Sure TableView could be easier for some functionalities.
You disturb me because I had hesitated two days before I took my decision 😢 -
Shift tab is often used to do the back tab (demote) function.
-
@ihf You see that I don't forget you...I'll send some screen copies to prove it 😂
-
-
-
@ihf but I don't dare to send you this current version because a lot of open bugs.
But, if you want to have it, it is ok, but it is very far to be clean and to offer full functionalities -
@ihf last for today, I stop until tomorrow
