hi,
here my changes I would like to do in a while:
a) convert use of unsigned int to int, as QT has changed to use int in nearly all places, it \
atm is a hassle to convert back to int in all loops, length compares and lookups, should make \
code more readable I guess
b) add an interface for some kind of "editor factory" or how ever to call it
this will just a plain QObject which lets you create KTextEditor::Documents, it will avoid \
the current hassle in kate to have around one global object for ever and speed up document \
creation for apps using it, if the app devs still use the old way, nothing will break, but \
this will give a faster way ;)
c) remove the DCOP interfaces from the lib, really, this should be done per part, the current \
overhead of 10000ths interfaces isn't worth the hassle, and it will save us from the need for \
dpointers in the interfaces and the duplicated ints all over, only the document and view \
itself should provide some number to the outside to make handling easier ;) btw., perhaps \
should the int method just be part of interface and the implementation part should take the \
effort to make it unique, in the mini implementation it would look like the current in \
ktexteditor, but I think the interfaces should really be without any implementation at all \
inside
d) some little conflict solving and removing:
- KTextEditor::Editor -> CU, this is the no view/doc seperation thing, it's just not needed \
any more,
yzis/kate supports it, and it's not that nice as the static queryMethodes don't cover it \
and it's a hack, away :)
- SessionConfigInterface and ConfigInterface overlap, the readSessionConfig... should be \
removed from ConfigInterface
- CursorInterface: not sure, wasn't that usable in the current state, perhaps we should \
remove this now, and readd later a usable one, if we have all come up with one ;)
- DynWordWrapInterface -> TRASH, not needed, this is part internal stuff, why should host app \
want to enforce that, bypassing the users config, it has no effect on text content, not like \
the static word wrap, which might be needed to enforce ;)
- PrintInterface -> CU, user action, too
- UndoInterface -> CU, user action, too, + config stuff
- ViewStatusMsgInterface -> CU, this contains only one signal, and is not that usable at all, \
as nobody knows whats in this, if we really need this, we should note down in the \
KTextEditor::View which "non-interface" related signals parts should provide, just some \
comment would be sufficient, as this signal connection is nothing we do at compile time
e) merge some of the interfaces, which will avoid the current blow up of them ;)
- EditInterface + Ext -> EditInterface, the editBegin()/editEnd() transaction methodes won't \
hurt to be in the basic
editing interface, if the part doesn't support it, it should just do nothing there :)
- selection interface + ext + blockselection interface -> SelectionInterface
+ this is FOR VIEW this time ;)
- Clipboard Interface -> SelectionInterface, as this is for VIEW, too, and selection is per \
view, makes sense
to collect this selection related 2 methodes in the SelectionInterface, too, no need for \
seperate, each
editor supporting selection should have no probs with copy/paste/cut and co, not even sure \
if anybody
uses this, but hey, if this are just 3 methodes in a interface, this won't hurt, if it \
stays seperate, it will ;)
- ConfigInterface + ConfigInterfaceExtension, simple merge, guess after the conversion to \
int, the configPages()
counter should just return -1 if this part doesn't allow to emebed individual config pages \
;)
- MarkInterface + Extension -> MarkInterface
- ViewCursorInterface -> CursorInterface, makes no sense to prefix, this is for view just, \
and good ;) if ever a other cursor interface for editing purpose comes up, this should be \
EditCursor or CursorEdit or whatever
This would be all cleanup changes I have to propose ATM, this doesn't really change any \
function, just cleaning up the stuff, which has grown to some lets say "not that small" amount \
;)
