#!/usr/bin/env retro # A Block Editor I've written numerous block editors over the years. This is a new one that I'm planning to eventually use with Retro/Native. This presents a visual, (briefly) modal interface. 0-----#---1---------2---------3---------4---------5---------6--- | This is the new block editor! | # | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 0---------1---------2---------3---------4---------5---------6--- | Output is shown here | | | | | | | 0---------1---------2---------3---------4---------5---------6--- #2 1:0 :: The horizontal rulers have column indicators, there are cursor position indicators (and the actual cursor location shows at the intersection). The bottom line has the current block number, line number, and column number. Key Bindings | Key | Action | | --- | ------------------------------ | | H | Save and select previous block | | S | Save and select next block | | h | Move cursor left | | t | Move cursor down | | n | Move cursor up | | s | Move cursor right | | i | Save the current block | | y | Reload the current block | | a | Edit text | | c | Move cursor to prior word | | r | Move cursor to next word | | 1 | Evaluate the current block | | x | Erase the current block | | q | Save the Blocks and Quit | | ` | Clear output buffer | | 7 | Share block | | m | Copy line | | w | Paste line | | M | Copy block | | W | Paste block | | z | Delete line | The key bindings are oriented around the Dvorak keyboard layout which I use. The key map leverages an approach I stole from Samuel Falvo II's VIBE editor: the key handlers are words in the dictionary with a format like: editor:key<*> With the `*` being the key. # Sample Blocks This will create an empty `retro.blocks` file if one is not found. I have a sample included, but it is compressed. To use the sample run `gunzip retro.blocks` and keep a copy or a symlink to it in your CWD. # Configuration I define the number of blocks and the file to use. On the non hosted Retro systems the block file will be replaced by a block storage device. ~~~ #1024 'BLOCKS const 'retro.blocks 'BLOCK-FILE s:const ~~~ # Variables I am keeping some data in variables.

I keep the blocks in RAM for performance. There is also one half block set aside for the output display.

To avoid wasting space, a block of memory is allocated to use as a temporary `Heap`.
