Q: The 'Results' window doesn't show any results from an AppleScript.
A: The results from running a script get pushed onto the clipboard stack. To see the results, you need to have the clipboard open, or set the "Show Results" preference which will show the clipboard if it's not open after running a script.
Q: How does the clipboard mechanism work?
A: Preditor has multiple clipboards, that work in a stacked fasion. When you copy something to the clipboard, it is pushed onto the clipboard stack. You can then roll forward and backward through the clipboard stack retrieving up the the last 10 items put on the clipboard. You can roll forward and backward via the Next/Previous Clipboard menu item, or by clicking the toolbar icons in the Clipboard window. The clipboard window shows what the current clipboard contains, and how many items there are on the clipboard stack.
Q: What are quick copy and paste?
A: Quick copy/paste are feature bound to modifiers that allow cut-paste and copy-paste operations to be performed with one mouse operation. For example, the word "the" is selected in your document. You hold down the quick copy-paste modifier and then select the word "Apple" in your document, and release the mouse. The word "the" is then copied and pasted over the word "Apple". Quick cut-paste does the same thing, exect the word "the" is deleted. The modifiers that activated quick copy-cut-paste can be changed from the "Mouse" panel in the Preferences window.
Q: How do I reassign the keyboard?
A: Open up the Keyboard window, and the Command window. The Keyboard window allows you to assign keystrokes for a command. Drag the command that you want to reassign from the Command window into the command box in the Keyboard window. Assign a new stroke by typing a keystroke in the keystroke window, and dragging that keystroke into the keystroke list. Delete a keystroke by select a keystroke in the keystroke list and pressing the "Remove" button. You can also assign a keystroke by dragging a keystroke from the keystroke box or the keystroke list and dropping it onto a command in the Command windows' command list.
Q: How to a modify and/or create my own toolbars.
A: Check the "Arrange" option in the Toolbar window. Now you can drag and drop any command to any visible toolbar. This includes dragging commands from the Command window into visible toolbars (including the document's toolbar), dragging from toolbar to toolbar, and dragging within the same toolbar to change the order withing that toolbar. To remove a command from a toolbar, drag it to the trash. Turn of "Arrange" when you are done arranging your toolbars.
Q: How are the paper clip icons supposed to work?
A: Paper clip icon are temporary markers. To set one of the three paper clips, click the paper clip and select "Mark" from the menu. To go back at any time to the marker, click the same paper clip and select "Goto" from the menu, or just click the paper clip icon. The release version of Preditor will probably show the context of set paper clips.
Q: What is "Push/Pop Position".
A: Push/Pop position (in the Search menu) behaves in the same fasion as the paper-clip icons, but acts in a global scope. You can push your current position onto the stack, and then pop that position off the stack at any time, from any document, and return to that document and that position. Think of them as a stack of *global markers*.
Q: How come sometimes opening a CodeWarrior project doesn't show all my files?.
A: Preditor asks CodeWarrior for its list of files. If the paths have changed, and CodeWarrior has not yet recomputed where each source file is, then CodeWarrior does not return a valid file specification for that file, and Preditor will not display it. Even if Preditor did disply it, you could not open it because Preditor would not know where it is.
