- works with any window, whether opened by the console device or not
- flexible output options; output destination can be changed at any time
- source is included so you can customize to your heart's content
- works with any 8 x 8 font; you can use the supplied TSnipGen program
to create a font definition file for TSnip to use
And now, brings ancient mainframe editors into the modern era! Amiga users
can log on to a mainframe and use the mouse to control the cursor position
within vi and emacs.
** Minor enhancements in 1.4a **
- Emacs bindings while in editor mode:
- command line options -vi and -emacs to set editor type
- additional tooltype EDITOR=vi or emacs
- sendline routine now handles control characters
- bug fix for output to stdout and pipe files -- extraneous null
characters no longer added (this caused problems for editors like DME)
- bug fix for clipboard output -- previously each line cut was over-
writing the last one
** New features in 1.4 **
- everything now compiles under 16 bit Aztec
- control panel lets you change font, output file, text colour,
output destination on the fly; position of the control panel
is remembered when it's closed
- plain English explanations of what is happening printed while
control panel active
- TSnip will no longer interfere with mouse handlers which auto-
activate windows, via control file "handler-commands". This
option can be set by "-m" command switch, and toggled by the
"m" key while TSnip is running.
- TSnip window(s) can be switched between multiple screens via new
keyboard option, <spacebar>. Repositioning of windows is
reasonably intelligent when moving to a screen of different size.
- new keyboard option "q" tells you the colour of the pixel underneath
the mouse; if you have some text printed in JAM2 mode, ie 2 solid
colours, you can use the TextPen gadget on the control panel to
make TSnip recognize only a single colour as legal text.
- location of the 8x8 square recognized as a character can be reset
to default position by new keyboard option <return>
- TSnip no longer detaches from the CLI, you must use "run" again;
this is due to the workings of the mouse-handler option
- added ability to run from an icon, with customizable set of options
- new CLI option / keyboard command "e" to toggle vi edit mode, where
mouse is used for cursor positioning; setup options from CLI or
Workbench for using vi along with VT100 or Z
