NOTATIONAL VELOCITY SUPPORT CODE

I don’t want to add features to Notational Velocity. Other want a full-screen writing environment. I want to transform it into a text editor for (Multi)Markdown files. I disagree to that second possible conclusion, partly because I wholeheartedly agree to the first one.Īll of us “forkers” try to make something entirely new out of NV. This, in my mind, basically means either (1) Notational Velocity in its original form was just perfect, hence the impossibility of removing stuff, or (2) Notational Velocity wasn’t perfect but doing one thing well and we developers jumped in and broke the golden rule. There’s an implicit argument I disagree with: Since we’re dealing with apps which do One Thing Well here, the quotation may just as well state: “look! how they make the program less focused on a single task but make it more complex instead.” Note that no one’s forking it to remove features. The other changes are easily reproduced and surprisingly few. the third pane in Steven’s case, the HUD in mine respectively. There are a few additions to Notational Velocity’s graphical interface components, i.e. I found out what Steve did to add Markdown preview. How did Steve add Markdown to Notational Velocity? I still can’t grasp how easy it is to do all these small changes. Incredible!

That is just plain impossible, but thinking about it should indeed help me improve my code in many ways.

I want my code to be an easy addition, ideally not touching anything from the original. Merging everything every now and then is a little risky. It works fine as-is, but it’s not easy to change and add features while keeping up to date with Zachary’s code. The other new and cool stuff is: I’m constantly trying to decouple the code Zachary (“scrod”) wrote. Most issues you were reporting should be solved just by that baby step. I integrated recent changes to Zachary Schneirov’s original NV into my code base. In any way, this post might be just for you. And, even more importantly, you might have thought about this problem as well and would like to offer suggestions or modifications to my approach so I might implement a new feature set to ease our pain. (Or should it read “Bringing massive text editing to a new level of Notational Velocity”?) When working with different notes in a similar context at the same time in Notational Velocity, I might have a few ideas at the ready to tackle your needs.

But look where he has come so far: among the new features is a widescreen layout and – how cool is that? – customizable preview templates!īringing Notational Velocity to a new level of massive text editing Until then, there were not much differences between his fork and mine, according to the screenshots anyway. Brett Terpstra forked Notational Velocity and applied a few changes that worked for him.
