edit-server - a server for editing files (locally)
Published by Tim Cuthbertson
- Overview
This is a Zero Install feed. To add this program to your Applications menu, choose Zero Install -> Add New Program from the Applications menu. e.g. on Ubuntu:
If you don't see this menu item, install the zeroinstall-injector package from your distribution's repository, or from 0install.net.
Drag the feed's URL to the dialog box that appears. Other environments may use other systems. For example, if you are a ROX desktop user, drag the link to AddApp instead.
Alternatively, to run it from the command-line:
$ 0launch http://gfxmonk.net/dist/0install/edit-server.xml
The 0alias command can be used to create a short-cut to run it again later.
If you don't have the 0launch command, download it from the 0install.net web-site, which also contains documentation about how the Zero Install system works.
- Full name
- Description
An edit server written in python, compatible with TextAid and other similar google chrome extensions. The purpose of which is to edit a browser's textarea in an external text editor (like vim, emacs, etc...) Runs on port 9292, or whatever port you pass in (see --help) Listens on the local interface only. Editor command is defaulted to `gvim -f`, but will use ARGV instead if you give it any (non-optional) arguments. Incremental file editing: ------------------------- Supports incremental editing, which requires a version of the chrome plugin released after 2010-10-24. If you find your textareas never update after the first time you save the file in your editor, your version is too old. You can use --no-incremental to revert to the old behaviour. [Tech details] The incremental editing uses two HTTP headers, "x-file" and "x-open". "x-open: true" means the editor has not finished, and another request should be made immediately. "x-file: FILENAME" (returned from the server) provides the value to be provided as the "x-file" request header for the subsequent request. if "x-file" is not "true", the editing has finished and no more requests should be made.
