Launcher Error w Pharo 7

by Sean P. DeNigris

I just downloaded Launcher for Mac via the CI. I created a Pharo 7 image and launched it. The following error came up: "Error: External module not found" from libgit2_init. I assume it's because libgit2 is not installed on my system. If that's right, how do I set it up e.g. What's the best way to get it? Does it have to be in a certain location? etc, etc. Thanks ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Launcher-Error-w-Pharo-7-tp4959777.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

It means that when loading Bloc monticello (or metacello) updates OSWindow which requests loading of Athens. At the same time there are some Morphic classes that were removed in Pharo 7 while Athens adds extension methods to those classes. So we should either update Athens to remove those extensions method and (which is better) make OSWindow independent from Athens. > > Just remember that we will not add new things in Pharo if we do not remove the equivalent already in the system. > I'm fed up to have three different half working mechanisms. > > Key class exists in Pharo by default and is already used by morphic: KeyboardEvent>>#key.

In Bloc we don't use / need Athens but because of OSWindow's dependency Athens tries to update itself. Additionally the classes you mentioned were removed from the system, while Athens adds extension methods to them => error during installation. In Pharo 6 there is no error, though. > > Can you be more precise so that we can take action? > > > > > 2) Text cursor up/down is not working correctly when text is wrapped. > Indeed, up/down movement is a bit tricky :) But its implementation is in fact very interesting. Take a look at this video: â > Bloc-FocusNavigationLong.movâ > Bloc has support of element-independent visual focus navigation. In the editor we reuse it for the cursor (one cursor for a moment but we target to support multiple).

As a teaser I can say that we rely on Key and not on Character + modifiers while defining shortcuts. It allows us to build any key combinations possible. For example we distinguish left and right shift, left and right meta, etc. Shortcuts can consist only of one Key or be just only right shift :) It is super flexible but we will come to it later ;) > > Just remember that we will not add new things in Pharo if we do not remove the equivalent already in the system. > I'm fed up to have three different half working mechanisms. > > > P.S. arrows are also treated at shortcuts and not as keystroke: meaning that there is no need to do this: > > <Screen Shot 2017-08-06 at 20.03.11.png> > > 4) I thing we should try to use Commander for new UI widgets.

There is no other place where we check if any modifier keys pressed!

For example, the last example shown in the video is an editor opened on 1M characters, which is reasonably large, and as can be seen see one can interact with it as smoothly as with the one screen text.

Currently, the editor is 1260 lines of code including method and class comments. This is not large for a text editor and this is possible because most of the work is done by generic concepts that already exist in Bloc such as layouts and text measurements. Beside the small maintenance cost, the benefit is that we have the option to build all sorts of variations with little effort. That is why we call this a moldable text editor. > > Another benefit of using elements and layouts is that we can also embed other kinds of non-text elements with little effort (such as pictures), and obtain a rich and live text editor.
