|
|
Are there any text editors which support following:
No matter where you click with the mouse, even if on a new empty line a few lines below, it should move the cursor there ready to write there anything. This means the editor has to add automatically all the necessary tabs or space inputs to reach that coordinate location.
This would feel almost like writing text in any graphics application like Photoshop, only done in a text editor.
Using this method one could create e.g. maps of words. |

Something like this should work in most word prossesors (better is using a font where all Chars are same size)
| Code: | ^!a::
SendInput {Space 2000} ;Make alot of spaces
State:=0
Loop,
{
Input, Var, L1 V ;this just waits for a keypress
SendInput {Del} ; removes one space so things stay lined up
If State
Break
}
Return
^!b::State:=1 |

Many editors do this in existing lines but not after end of file.
You could take a look at JAVE for making ascii drawings and when in text mode you can place text everywhere.
Red Crab is a calcuator but you can type a formula/text everywhere.
For something like this i would use Diagram Designer and put rectangles with text in it. |
