  • oxp: nodelist editor - how?

    From August Abolins@2:221/1.58 to Martin Foster on Sunday, February 14, 2021 15:48:00
    Hello Martin!

    Exactly what kind of editor is in play when using the TextEdit
    via: Fido/Config/Nodelist/TextEdit:


    º TextEdit Load the Node/Pointlist into the Editor. º
    º º
    º WARNING! Be very careful when manually º
    º editing either a Node or Pointlist. º
    º Careless editing may result in next weeks º
    º Diff file being unable to be applied. You º
    º have been warned!! º

    What are the key-combos for a S)earch, for example?

    OpenXP's internal editor.

    What are the key-combos for a S)earch, for example?

    <Ctrl+Q><F> Find
    <Ctrl+Q><A> Find and replace
    <Ctrl+L> Repeat last "Find"

    Is there a list for all the commands?

    Not that I'm aware of, all you can do is to press <F1> whilst in the
    editor and then take your pick from any of the sub-topics.

    That must the linux version only.

    In Win version, F1 only mentions some warnings, a chart that
    describes the parts of the nodelist and only the "top" menu
    options in Fido/Nodelist/Config/TexEdit.

    Thanks for the commands file via netmail. Will take a look.

    NEVERMIND. I just realized that the editor-help via F1 is the
    one accessible in the MESSAGE EDITOR. I assumed there was an F1
    option while in the nodelist TextEditor.

    It would be handier to have an F1 option whilst in the nodelist
    TextEditor, but I suppose that's asking too much.


    Thanks for the commands file via netmail. Will take a look.

    I just did.. and the file looks good. Thanks.
