-
- {{{ Installing Origami
- To install origami start the install_origami script by using commodores
- installer program.
- }}}
- {{{ Additional Amiga Features
- There are some additional features in the amiga version of the origami
- editor :
-
- {{{ Mouse
- Mouse-Handling : The mouse can be used in this version by defining
- it in the binding file using the command 'mouse-buttons'.
- (See the doc-files in the doc directory and the amiga.keys example
- file !)
- }}}
- {{{ Menu
- Menus can be defined in the rc-file, too.
- To do that you have to use the os-extensions.
-
- The syntax of the menu-extension is :
- (os-extension ("MENU " <name of menu,name of item> ))
-
- example : (os-extension ("MENU " Project,Read " File ))
- (see the origami manual for the definition of ocl strings !)
-
- This line will make a menu entry called Project (if it has not been
- defined previously) and an item entry called Read File.
- If this item is selected, origami will send a keysequence with the
- following syntax :
- $csi "G <number of the menu entry, starting with "0 (hex 0x30)>
- <number of the item entry, starting with "0 (hex 0x30)>
-
- You have to bind the function, that shall be called to this keysequence.
- If the example has been the first MENU os-extension :
- (keybind read-file ( $csi "G "0 "0 ))
-
- See the OSamiga.awk script for an easier definition by using the AWK
- language.
- }}}
- {{{ FileRequester
- If the 'asl.library' is present, origami will use the system file
- requester.
-
- To use the 'read-file' function within macros I had to use a complex way to
- address the requesters :
- - If you use 'read-file' the file-prompt will be displayed under the
- status-line.
- - Press ~ or ~~ or ~<directory>
- - Press RETURN
- - The file-requesters will come up, showing the contents of the
- following directories :
- if you entered ~ the directory, where you started origami
- ~~ the directory, where the current file is in
- ~<dir> the directory named in the prompt line
- To make an easy use of the requesters bind the function
- {{{ function
- (deffun amiga-read-file
- (
- read-file
- "~
- O_RETURN
- ))
- }}}
- to the key the 'read-file' function is bound to now.
-
- NOTE: To get protability in the rc-files, ~/<file (with rel. path)>
- will be expanded to S:<file (with rel.path).
- Due to the double usage of the ~-character, you have to use
- whitespace to use a file-requester starting at a dir with
- a pathname beginning with a / character.
- Example : ~/test : will open the file S:test,
- but ~ /test : will open a filerequester starting in the
- directory /test relative to the current working directory, when
- you started origami.
- }}}
- {{{ Workbench
- Origami can be called from Workbench; the command line options can be
- specified as TOOL_TYPES, but there may be only one option per line;
- you can also multiselect additonal files, which will be edited.
- If you start origami by clicking an icon with origami as default tool
- the TOOL_TYPES of this file will be used as arguments.
- If you multi-select files only the TOOL_TYPES of the origami icon will
- be read.
- }}}
- {{{ Iconify
- Iconify : if you press the iconify gadget in the window title,
- origami will change his window position to the upper/left edge of the
- screen and resize to the smallest possible size. The window title
- will show the filename. To open the window again, click the gadget
- or the close gadget.
- }}}
- {{{ Wildcards
- Origami will recognize wildcards in the command line filenames
- and edit all matching files ('next-file' command).
- }}}
- {{{ Protection Bits
- Origami preserves the protection bits for read (r), write (w), delete (d),
- executable (e), script (s) and pure (p).
- Origami always deletes the archive bit.
- }}}
- {{{ Window
- To open a window on a specific screen or with a specific size, you can
- use amiga specific options (beginning with -X) :
- You can use the following keywords :
- AREXX[=Portname] : origami will open an arexx port (names Portname)
- SCREEN[=w/h] : origami will use his own screen
- WINDOW[=x/y/w/h] : origami will use a window with the width w,
- the height h, the offset (x,y)
- }}}
- {{{ Arexx
- * For more information on the arexx port read the README.AREXX doc.
- }}}
- {{{ Cut & Paste
- Origami now uses the clipboard device for cut and paste.
-
- To cut press the Right Amiga key and the left mouse button to set a mark
- and release the mouse button and the Right Amiga key to copy the text area
- between the mark and the end position of the mouse into the clipboard
- device. To abort cutting release the Right Amiga key before releasing the
- mouse button. Only the screen text will be cutted, no folds will be opened.
- The selected area will not be highlighted in this version.
-
- To paste, release the right mouse button while having the Right Amiga key
- pressed.
- }}}
- {{{ List Seperator
- Unlike the list separator in the Un*x version (:) the amiga version uses
- ;, cause the : character will be used in filenames.
- }}}
- }}}
- {{{ Recompiling the emacs and modeori keybinds
- To recompile the bindings you can use the smakefile in the bindings
- directory.
-
- If you do not have smake, take the smakefile as an example for the options
- used.
- }}}
- {{{ Making your own keybind
- {{{ general remarks
- To make changes in the binding files, you need to know the syntax of the
- OCL-commands and the keysequences the origami-terminal will send, when a
- key is pressed.
-
- The OCL-commands are explained in the origami-manual; please look there !
-
- To get the keysequences, you can use the program GetKeyCode, distributed
- in the amiga directory. Start this program from cli, activate the
- window and press the key, which keysequence you want to know. The
- keysequences will be shown in the origin CLI-window.
- }}}
-
- Here are some (additional) remarks :
- {{{ key classes
- The keys, the origami-terminal will send, can be divided in five classes
- {{{ mouse-clicks
- * Mouse-clicks : Use the ocl function mouse-buttons !
- There are 25 (!) mouse-buttons defined :
- {{{ no qualifier pressed
- 0 : Left mouse button released, no special key pressed (LMBU)
- 1 : Right mouse button released, no special key pressed (RMBU)
- 2 : Middle mouse button released, no special key pressed (MMBU)
- 3 : Left mouse button pressed, no special key pressed (LMBD)
- 4 : Middle mouse button pressed, no special key pressed (MMBD)
- }}}
- {{{ shift pressed
- 5 : Left mouse button released, shift pressed (S-LMBU)
- 6 : Right mouse button released, shift pressed (S-RMBU)
- 7 : Middle mouse button released, shift pressed (S-MMBU)
- 8 : Left mouse button pressed, shift pressed (S-LMBD)
- 9 : Middle mouse button pressed, shift pressed (S-MMBD)
- }}}
- {{{ control pressed
- 10 : Left mouse button released, control pressed (C-LMBU)
- 11 : Right mouse button released, control pressed (C-RMBU)
- 12 : Middle mouse button released, control pressed (C-MMBU)
- 13 : Left mouse button pressed, control pressed (C-LMBD)
- 14 : Middle mouse button pressed, control pressed (C-MMBD)
- }}}
- {{{ alt pressed
- 15 : Left mouse button released, alt pressed (A-LMBU)
- 16 : Right mouse button released, alt pressed (A-RMBU)
- 17 : Middle mouse button released, alt pressed (A-MMBU)
- 18 : Left mouse button pressed, alt pressed (A-LMBD)
- 19 : Middle mouse button pressed, alt pressed (A-MMBD)
- }}}
- {{{ left amiga pressed
- 20 : Left mouse button released, left amiga pressed (L-LMBU)
- 21 : Right mouse button released, left amiga pressed (L-RMBU)
- 22 : Middle mouse button released, left amiga pressed (L-MMBU)
- 23 : Left mouse button pressed, left amiga pressed (L-LMBD)
- 24 : Middle mouse button pressed, left amiga pressed (L-MMBD)
- }}}
- {{{ right amiga pressed
- The right amiga qualifier class is mainly used by the cut and paste
- function. If origami is compiled without cut & paste you will get
- these five additional buttons.
- 25 : Left mouse button released, right amiga pressed (R-LMBU)
- 26 : Right mouse button released, right amiga pressed (R-RMBU)
- 27 : Middle mouse button released, right amiga pressed (R-MMBU)
- 28 : Left mouse button pressed, right amiga pressed (R-LMBD)
- 29 : Middle mouse button pressed, right amiga pressed (R-MMBD)
- }}}
- To bind a function to one of the buttons use the keybind function
- 'mouse-buttons' !
- Please note, that you can not bind the right mouse button pressed
- events, cause they are used for the menu definition.
-
- {{{ Example
- To bind the function open-fold to the left-mouse button released
- with shift pressed, you have to add the keysequence
-
- ; left button release with shift pressed is button 5 (we start with 0)
- (mouse-buttons no-operation no-operation no-operation
- no-operation no-operation open-fold)
-
- Please remember that you can use the 'mouse-buttons' function
- only once in a file !
- (See the doc-files in the doc directory for detailed information)
- }}}
- }}}
- {{{ menu-select
- * Menu-selections :
- The keysequence will have the following format :
- 155 71 48+x 48+y ($csi "G "0 "0)
- where x is the number of the Menu title (0,1,2,...) and
- y is the number of the Menu item (0,1,2,...).
- (See the Additional Amiga Features chapter for more information)
- }}}
- {{{ Vanilla-Keys
- * Vanilla-Keys :
- All keys that are defined in the system keymap will send their
- keysequences
- }}}
- {{{ Raw-Keys
- * Raw-Keys :
- All other keys will send a keysequence, that will have the following
- format :
- 155 69 select code ($csi "E ? ?)
- where select is a code used to determine the alt/amiga/ctrl and shift
- keys; it will be :
- 65
- +1 if shift is pressed
- +2 if control is pressed
- +4 if alt is pressed
- +8 if left amiga is pressed
- +16 if right amiga is pressed and
- code is the number of the key.
- }}}
- {{{ Number-pad
- * Number-pad-Keys :
- The number-pad keys are handled differently :
- They will have the format :
- 155 70 select code ($csi "F ? ?)
- where select and code are the same as described in the Raw-Keys-section
- }}}
- }}}
- {{{ aliases
- There are some aliases known to keybind :
- They are defined in the file amiga.alias and have to be included to be
- known. Look in the amiga.keys example.
- }}}
- }}}
- {{{ Bugs
- See the bug.fixes file to see the bugs of this version.
- }}}
- {{{ Compiling Origami
- To compile the sources you need to have the SAS C-Compiler Version 6.51.
- Each version will be tested with the SAS C-Compiler. I will not test
- origami on other compilers, but diffs or bug reports are welcome.
-
- If you want to compile the origami executables use the smakefiles in the
- amiga directory like this:
-
- * assign your directory containing the origami sources to the name
- origami:
- ( example : assign origami: Lattice:Progs/origami/src )
- * Change directory to the directory 'origami:'
- ( example : cd origami: )
- * Start the smakefile action preinst to make the preinstallation
- ( example : smake preinst )
- * Start the compilation using the smakefile (action all)
- ( example : smake all )
- * Install the binaries in the origami:/bin directory using the
- smakefile action install
- ( example : smake install )
- * Set the environment variables and test the executables ( see Installing
- Origami )
- * Clean up the directories using the smakefile action clean or reset
- Note : clean will only delete .o, .lnk, .tmp and .info files.
- reset will delete the binaries (not in the bin directory)
- and the things installed by using preinst.
- ( example : smake clean
- or : smake reset )
- * Install the binaries in your bin directory and make the .origamirc
- file. You can do this using the install_origami script.
- }}}
- {{{ Features in next releases
- There are some features, that will be implemented in the next releases
- * Future releases of the origami will be ported
- * Bugs will be fixed
- }}}
