i've attached the first version of a Tabbed Console plugin. The goal is
that new messages can be sorted on new tabs by their prefix (the part before the colon).
Thanks, could be useful.
Just one comment. It doesn't handle lists all that well. Fx
[Walk the dog( | [print x1]
All the best, Steffen
Thanks for the comments. I have switched off the autofocus, and put a variable to let folks switch it on. However, i have no idea how to signal new messages as i cannot even change the text in the tabs once created. Lists... they seem to be already chopped up at the C side. This means the plugin cannot deal with lists.
Now that I've been thinking about this for a while - wouldn't it be OK to change the behaviour of [print PREFIX] so that when it chops up lists, it puts PREFIX to the beginning of each line not only the first? Staying with the above example, wouldn't this make more sense:
x1: Walk x1: the x1: dog
...than this:
x1: Walk the dog
Well, you'd lose the nice columns that form when the prefix is the same on every line.
Uh... right now i got no nice columns, no same prefix on each line, only on the first line. My suggestion is exactly that, to put it on every line.
