Limitpad - Notepad highlighting text after a configurable limit (v0.1.0)

<< < (3/5) > >>

Great job, Vic! I have yet to fully test it, but here are some initial thoughts:


* Set a low char limit (4), type a few words, and switch between chars and words - the visuals don't update.
* Option to remove double spaces.
* Add a (+) tab for easily creating new one.
* Double click on "Pad 1" to rename.
* In status bar, show how much over/under the limit (+53; -4).
* Include increase/decrease text size (it's a little too small as it is now).
* I don't understand prev/post - am I missing something here?

Prev = pick a color for "legit" text, all text that did not cross the limit
Post = pick a color for text that exceed the limit.

Thanks! That wasn't very intuitive, I must say.
How about adding "Color:" before and changing the labels to TEXT/OVER or TEXT/EXCESS?

...but come to think of it, it might make sense to rethink how these settings are presented in the UI (see feature request above for "text size"), maybe creating a "Settings" pane, where to add any other future settings? Just an idea.

And to you as well K! Yep, saw you implemented password generation already. Good on you :)

Many thanks for the link-back!! Keep on rocking!!!

Thanks V! Limitpad v0.2.0 is coming with May later batches of releases :)

Feel free to suggest/request; the utmost goal is to make users' wishes a reality through these implementation services :Thmbsup:

Cheers!

@KodeZwerg, I think this is excellent.

Could it be made Twitter-thread-generation-friendly? That would be very good!

In other words:

- set 280 characters, and type until text goes red
- delete characters to within 280 limit at a sensible point
- make a break to the next tweet in the thread (three dashes on a new line, or something)
- start typing the next tweet in the thread
- rinse and repeat until end of thread is reached.

Something like...

aaaaaaaaaaa [goes red at 281]

---

bbbbbbbbbb [goes red at 281]

---

etc...
