@cancel wait, should I have used bitmasks for this? I'm just doing if x and y are more than half the height/width of the selection, then pick the other.
Nah that's fine. If it gets more fancy, you might consider it, though. Since it lets you adjust the graphics and hit zones really precisely without having to write custom logic each time. And the size of a small bitmask is often smaller than the bytes of code needed to do a custom hit test.
loving how it's shaping up. Makes a good friend to Decker, a modern reimagination of Hypercard, which looks very similar! I want to see more Macintosh software reimagined like that. I wonder what is the next good candidate.
Found some screenshots where people have the NewYork12 font in their Note Pad application instead. I'm not sure why that's different from the one I have, but I much prefer NewYork12 to mine.
in every Mac OS 6 (or before?) to current, if you hold command (Apple) and drag a window which is *backgrounded*, the window will move without being foregrounded.
Other hidden operations which are related but not relevant to Notepad: Holding option and clicking close closes all windows in the current application; holding cmd and clicking the title bar title shows the path the file is at (if the window represent a file).
lovely! I think you’ll want to reset the blink timer on user input (and when cursor moves for any reason) so that it is always visible when “syncing your brain to the screen”
@rsms I did after I recorded the last clip, but I noticed that the macintosh doesn't do it, the cursor keeps showing up briefly while I type at intervals.
That's one behavior that I will NOT replicate, perhaps it was a mistake on Apple's part, but I know it'll annoy me if the cursor shifts each time I go from a block selection to a position.
that's an interesting detail. If you run simpletext (or teachtext if the OS is too old for simpletext) does the selection behavior replicate the oddity?
That's how macOS X still behaves today. I think it's more a Windows thing to behave differently (Not 100% sure which way Linux leans, I'd guess it imitates Windows like in most UI things).
Interesting, I never realized classic MacOS did that. Happens all the way from TeachText in System 6 to SimpleText on MacOS 9.
But MacOS X behaves differently there (as you expected and I expect today), I was wrong.
However, CodeWarrior doesn't. So it could be that WASTE behaved differently and that's why most apps didn't have that issue, because they didn't use the TextEdit Manager.

Not sure how you're doing that, but I once did a diagonal collision check like that using the sum of x and y like if(x+y < 10) and I thought that's so neat.

in reply to Devine Lu Linvega • • •Usually in text editors, during a block selection, moving first deselects the block, and moves the cursor to the end, or keeps it in place.
I guess back during Macintosh era, that behaviour was not standardized and moving left after a block selection would move the cursor.
