This patch introduces the GUI::SyntaxHighlighter class, which can be
attached to a GUI::TextEditor to provide syntax highlighting.
The C++ syntax highlighting from HackStudio becomes a new class called
GUI::CppSyntaxHighlighter. This will make it possible to get C++ syntax
highlighting in any app that uses a GUI::TextEditor. :^)
Sidenote: It does feel a bit weird having a C++ lexer in a GUI toolkit
library, and we'll probably end up moving this out to a separate place
as this functionality grows larger.
I started adding things to a Draw namespace, but it somehow felt really
wrong seeing Draw::Rect and Draw::Bitmap, etc. So instead, let's rename
the library to LibGfx. :^)
I've been wanting to do this for a long time. It's time we start being
consistent about how this stuff works.
The new convention is:
- "LibFoo" is a userspace library that provides the "Foo" namespace.
That's it :^) This was pretty tedious to convert and I didn't even
start on LibGUI yet. But it's coming up next.
As suggested by Joshua, this commit adds the 2-clause BSD license as a
comment block to the top of every source file.
For the first pass, I've just added myself for simplicity. I encourage
everyone to add themselves as copyright holders of any file they've
added or modified in some significant way. If I've added myself in
error somewhere, feel free to replace it with the appropriate copyright
holder instead.
Going forward, all new source files should include a license header.
While you are typing in HackStudio, we re-lex the C++ as you type,
so this means we also need to keep re-checking for matching curlies and
parentheses at the cursor.
Fixes#769 (although it's not optional, because it's too cool. :^)
This works for C++ syntax highlighted text documents by caching the C++
token type in a new "arbitrary data" member of GTextDocumentSpan.
When the cursor is placed immediately before a '{' or immediately after
a '}', we highlight both of these brace buddies by changing their
corresponding spans to have a different background color.
..and spans can also now have a custom background color. :^)
When hovering over a C++ token that we have a man page for, we now show
the man page in a tooltip window.
This feels rather bulky at the moment, but the basic mechanism is quite
neat and just needs a bunch of tuning.
This patch adds Editor (subclass of GTextEditor) and EditorWrapper.
An EditorWrapper is a composite widget that adds a little statusbar
above an Editor widget. The statusbar is used for showing the filename
and the current cursor position. More things can definitely be added.
To get to the currently active editor, call current_editor().
You can also get to the current editor's wrapper by calling..
current_editor_wrapper(). Which editor is current is determined by
which was was last focused by the user.
