TinyPad

Version: 3.0.14

by: Gello [More]

TinyPad is a simple but powerful notepad addon that's easy to use.

This addon works in Retail Shadowlands, Classic Era and The Burning Crusade Classic clients.

How to Use

To summon: /pad or /tinypad, bind a key, or turn on a minimap button in the settings panel.
To resize: Drag the resize grip in the lower right corner of the window.
The mod should be self explanatory how to use. Mouseover buttons to see what they do.

Notes

To add links to pages: Bring up a TinyPad page and put the blinking cursor where you want to insert a link, then shift+click an item, spell, recipe, quest or achievement as you ordinarily would to chat.
To view links: Click them.
To send links: Shift+click to chat as you would normally.
Links may display only a handful of characters, but they have many hidden control characters. The EditBox is not intended to handle massive amounts of text (the limit in TinyPad is 8192 characters), so keep that in mind if trying to cram the entire contents of the Adventure Journal loot pages into one page.
Searches are case insensitive.
You can bind a key to search.
While locked, the window won't go away with ESC, but you can still toggle it with a macro, key bind or minimap button; and you can move it while holding the Shift Key.
You can also run pages with /run TinyPad:Run(page)
You can add a page with TinyPad:Insert("text here adds a new page")
You can delete multiple pages with TinyPad.DeletePagesContaining("regex") NOTE: be careful with this one.
Users who edited the Lua in previous version to choose your own fonts, look in panels\fontbar.lua now. (You can replace any of the 3 fonts with your own but it will ignore a 4th font, sorry!)

v3.0.5, 10/13/20
- Shadowlands pre-patch release.

v3.0.4, 9/10/20
- Added a separate Search button to the main toolbar to open a dedicated search bar beneath the toolbar.
- The settings button now opens a scrollable side panel rather than a row of toolbar buttons shared with search.
- Font options are now within the settings panel rather than a dedicated toolbar panel.

- The Tab key will now insert 3 spaces where the cursor is.

v3.0.3, 8/7/20
- Added support for Shadowlands beta client. Like Classic clients, it will require loading out-of-date addons.

v3.0.2, 7/26/20
- Fix for page not saving if it's up on screen during a logout/reload.
v3.0.1, 7/5/20, Complete rewrite. Changes include:
- When the mouse is off the window while it doesn't have focus, the toolbar, bordering frame, etc. will fade away and leave only the text area on screen.
- When there's not enough text on a page to scroll, the scrollbar will now hide and allow text to wrap across width ordinarily taken up by the scrollbar.
- The toolbar now adapts to the size of the window. For instance: as you narrow the window's width, the page number will collapse; narrowing it even further will make the toolbar buttons smaller; and narrowing it even more will make the undo/redo buttons collapse.
- The pop-out bar for search and settings now appears inside the window instead of outside the window.
- The bookmark list is now a scrollable panel that appears inside the window rather than a context menu outside the window.
- Confirmation dialogs now appear inside the window as well, rather than static popup dialogs in the center of the screen.
- Undo/Redo buttons (or Ctrl+Z/Ctrl+Y) can revert and restore incremental changes to a page.
- The font button will now summon a bar to choose a Serif (Fritz Quad Bold), San Serif (Arial) or Monospace (Inconsolata) font in Small, Medium or Large sizes. (Those who previously edited the Lua to choose your own fonts, that's now in panels\fontbar.lua.)
- Bookmarked pages now have their title displayed on the main window.
- The transparency option will now only make the text area semi-transparent, since the remainder of the window fades completely when it loses focus.
- Mousewheel over the scrollbar will scroll the content.
- While locked, the window can now be moved by holding Shift as you drag the window with the mouse.
- When the Find button or Enter key is hit in the search box (with text to search), the border of the editbox will flash green if it found a hit and red if not.
- An optional minimap button for summoning and dismissing TinyPad can be turned on from the Minimap button in the settings toolbar.
- Button textures are all updated for a higher resolution and better scaling.
- The relatively new retail client behavior of clicking elsewhere to lose focus on an editbox is now supported in search and bookmark title editboxes.
- The same version works on both Retail and Classic clients; though Classic clients will need to load out of date addons.

Update going up this morning should fix that. Thanks for bringing it up!

Once I finish on another addon, I'm going to rewrite this addon, principally to make the bookmarks frame an inset frame that's scrollable. I have so many bookmarks now it spans half the screen and looks awful. Let me know of any other simple features you guys want but try to keep ideas to within the scope of a simple notepad addon.

It does work, though I haven't tested all the linking capabality, so a Classic version hasn't been posted yet. I'll see if I can go through and post it this weekend. But in the meantime if you load outdated addons it should work.

Awesome, Thanks!

Thanks!

That's a really good question and the practical answer is pretty tame, but it's mostly for style. Some people use locals for everything because local variables are faster to reference than global. I won't dispute that, but feel the effect is too negligible to notice unless doing a cpu-bound method like a sort. Some people use locals for everything because it's good programming practice to make everything private and to create getters/setters to manipulate them elsewhere. True also, but here it's kind of inevitable that stuff is global so there's little point. Ultimately, for me, it just feels more natural to use a local reference in that situation.

Awesome thanks for getting back to me! Like I said I really have learned a lot reading your code, as a beginner to WoW addons its super helpful to have well written references!

Use this all the time for keeping notes, or testing API's with in-game lua scripting. Well done! PS: Thanks for writing such well commented code, I've learned so much reading through it. Could you explain the reasoning behind the first two lines: Lua Code: local tinypad = TinyPad local editBox = TinyPadEditBox Why create local references to globally accessible tables?

Sorry I missed this, Kaiden. I can look into it but my goal with this addon has been to have minimal feature creep. My preference would be to see if that addon could be revived.

Gello A Molten Giant Forum posts: 508 File comments: 555 Uploads: 73	Note on tonight's update (2.1.6): There has been since the start of 7.3 patch an annoying bug with multiline editboxes that this addon depends: after so many lines of text, the cursor starts to "drift away" from the insertion point. A workaround for this while waiting for Blizzard to fix multiline editboxes is to change its scale to 1.0. This TinyPad update adds a "Size" button in the options panel. Clicking this will change its scale to 1.0 (actually, it's removing its parent for now) which will likely make it larger on most modern computers. When Blizzard fixes multiline editboxes, the button will remain but will do a more tradition toggle between scales. If the text is too big, remember you can cycle through fonts with the button beside it to get a smaller font so it looks normal again, only with larger buttons (which some have been asking for--so two birds with one stone!). If there's any bugs or weirdness caused in the larger size, let me know. I chose to remove the parent instead of doing a 1/effectiveScale because it requires less things to track.
