Those of you who have seen the Wordz leaflet will see a 'button bar' of
the most often used commands such as Bold, Justify Text, etc. I have
been asked if something similar exists for PipeDream. The answer is
that you can make your own 'button bar' as a set of PDCmdFil (macros)
such as those shown in Figureá1 below.
On the monthly Archive disc I have included both PipeDreamá3 and
PipeDreamá4 versions of the macros shown (with Pd4 icons) in the
screenshot. If you have contributions to such a PipeDream button bar
then please send them to me on a disc.
I include new versions of two ([Quote] and [Ligatures]) that have
appeared before. [Quote] converts single and double quotes into the
'smart quotes' (leading and trailing quotes). I have added 'phone to
the PDCmdFil in the Pd4 version. [Ligatures] combines separate fái to
a joined fi and fál to fl. By the way, does anyone know how to stop
the dialogue boxes appearing after each Search and replace command?
Provided that you have set a global font the two PDCmdFil (macro)
called [Homerton] and [Trinity] will enter those fonts into your
document at the cursor. Some of you will have these on <CtrláShiftáF#>
funtion keys but, if you have been converted from key short cuts to
using the GUI (graphic User Interface - the mouse) then you will find
these two PDCmdFil a useful alternative.
To see what is inside a PDCmdFil you do not double click on it but you
must 'drag' it to the PipeDream icon (the one installed on the icon
bar not the one in an open directory window). You can save such a
PDCmdFil in the ordinary way using <CtrláFGS> or by clicking on the
PDCmdFil called [Save] from this directory.
If you have RISCáOSá3.10 then you might want to keep some of the
contents of the Toolbar directory on the PinBoard for easy access.
