Petit Computer has a function that allows you to share via QR code. Since the screenshots show that this is based on Petit, I'd assume that you have that in this as well.
dangit! I just bought petit computer last weekend. From the screenshots though this looks like the same interface as Petit Computer. Is this a new application separate to Petit or will this be an update for Petit I wonder...
Separate, unfortunately for your wallet... This one's a proper 3DS application, whereas Petit Computer is a DSi application that was carried over to the 3DS eShop.
That being said, I don't think the new version will run programs made in Petit Computer as is without a fair bit of tweaking, so you do have the benefit of being able to try out the Petit Computer programs already made. It's not a complete waste!
I guess I have something to play around with the smilebasic syntax. I can't imagine that the language used will change dramatically to the new version..
It works, and definitely better than other tries, but it's not even close to Sublime Text's caliber. Through no fault of the author, I assure you, as someone who's tried his hand at creating a similar plugin for vim and found many limitations of vim.
One easy limitation comes to mind - you can't copy-paste different cursors, then paste them as unique items. E.g., given a list "a, b, c", I want to be able to multi-cursor the letters, copy them, then paste them into 3 multi-cursors somewhere else. Hard, very hard to implement.
Do you have any links to a description of how they should work or should I just use Sublime Text to see a canonical example?
That doesn't sound hard to implement iff you plan for those features from the beginning. I have my own editor hobby project and during my reading I got convinced multiple cursors are great for the reasons you described in your other comment.
I hadn't thought about multi cursor copy/paste so I'm wondering what else I've missed.
Someone posted a demo video of a modal text editor with multiple cursors to HN a year or so ago and I've been trying to track it down. Any idea what that might have been?
Maybe I'm not understanding the example, but is what you're suggesting (copy/paste) even possible in sublime? The github plugin above is the closest I've seen to sublime's version. It's not perfect, but works for most of the basic use cases.
Yep, possible in Sublime Text. It's one of the harder things to get right, and Sublime also has (or had) weird behavior, but most of the time copying 20 items with 20 cursors and pasting them to 20 cursors works great.
I have a great suggestion for the GNOME desktop: Disable leftward movement of the mouse. Moving left is for losers. Real users only move right, and keep going right until the mouse pointer warps around to the left edge of the screen. Then we can use the "move left" gesture to open up a "motion context menu", where it can show options such as "Move to workspace", or "Move to KDE" and so on.
