QCodeEdit feature request

Somebody submitted a support request on Sourceforge.net for "Emacs key bindings". While I've never used emacs and probably never will I understand that some people may be familiar with it and like the way it works. Hence my decision to make room for a flexible "binding system" in Edyuk.

Actually it is in QCodeEdit and I'll give more details about the internals on QCodeEdit site . To make it short it is based on a single class which provides a couple of basic input event handlers :

• key press events
• input method events
• mouse events (move, press, release, double click)

These events are passed to the "input binding" by the editor, BEFORE the editor does anything. The input binding can take any action considered relevant according to the event and decide whether the editor should handle the event or not. A typical smart use for this would be to prevent the letter O from being typed . Another possiblity, probably a lot less fun would be to implement emacs-like, vi-like, anyOtherEditorThatRocks-like editing.

And that's where the Edyuk part of it steps in. Such bindings can be added on run-time and manually selected by the user but how does the program kows they are available? Plugins are the best answer by far. So I registered a new plugin type in EdyukApplication source code and created a new plugin that is now available on the Subversion repository :

the Vimacs plugin
