[squeak-dev] TextMorphs support display of text with emphasis. They also support reasonable text-editing capabilities, as well as embedded HOT LINKS

Hi Karl!

It works fine. :-) I extensively use it when writing the release notes through the Help Browser.

On windows you can mark text i pane and press alt + 6. Then you can change emphasis and link etc. It's a not much used feature so I would expect some bit rot.

Hi Folks,


I searched the web and wiki and did not find any examples of Hot Links or keyboard shortcuts.

Editor and its Sub Classes initializeFOOKeyBars does not show anything.



Any pointers?



Motivation:


For Doc, I want to code for links to stuff, similar to what you get in Emacs org-mode  https://orgmode.org/manual/Link-Format.html#Link-Format [https://orgmode.org/manual/Link-Format.html#Link-Format]



In Emacs, to navigate to the link, I type Ctrl-o   to open it .



Now, the links do not have to be hypertext to the WWW, links to HelpBrowser on a topic would be useful.



I guess I could , upon completion of the search, return DoIts, but hot links bound to a key would fit the idiom better.



thank you for your time.



P.S. I am inferring that a typical Workspace encapsulates the TextMorph doo-hickey, if it is one of the other editor types, please let me know.


thx
