[Nemiver-list] some questions

["A. Gordon" <agordon88 domain hid>]

Hello,


I have some questions about hacking nemiver:


1. Is it possible to "make" and test nemiver, without doing a complete
"make install" ?

It seems the main program tries to load library modules and it always
looks in "/usr/lib"...

if I "make" nemiver in the source directory and try to execute
"./src/nemiver", the old modules are still loaded from "/usr/lib",
instead of my new and updated modules in the local directory.


Same thing happens for "xml" files - there are
"get_absolute_resource_path" functions that insist on loading the "xml"
files from "/usr/lib/nemiver/plugins/...." instead of the local directory.


So every time I change something and want to test it, and have to "su"
and "make install" - quite time consuming...

Is there a better way ?


2. I would like to suggest a small change in the "variables" view.
instead of using a "tree" (for Function arguments and Local Variables"),
I suggest to add a fourth column which will simply state the "scope" of
the variable.

The reason for this small change is because vertical screen estate is
very scarce, and having two lines that don't provide actual information
is not that good...

also, because I like using the keyboard, the "tree" just requires extra
work for me :-)

If you think it's acceptable, I'll try to implement it.


3. (keyboard again) - key handling inside the source view is quite
strange. "up" or "down" keys don't move the cursor to the previous/next
line, but instead switch to the next GTK widget...

What do you think is the best place to change that ?


Attached is an improved keyboard binding patch for
variables/stack/terminal/etc views, as per Jonathon suggestions.


Thanks,

   Gordon.
