Hello again, this will probably be my last post here at this great forum.
I can hear a collective sigh of relief!
But I would be remiss if I failed to copy paste the two macros that can allow one to try [§] and [=] on MS Word.
As you will soon see they are "coded" in WordBasic and not the much...
BEATIFIC VISION
(if I were the Sultan of Silicon Valley and not
just a poor translator demanding better software)
In my life I've translated hundreds of scripts, treatments and synopses in less than ideal working conditions, using out-of-my-pocket, instant-on devices, armed with [§] and [=] as...
Hello 6pack... I am a translator of movie scripts, treatments and synopses. I am a scribe who hates to stay chained to the computer. For years and years I worked on handhelds. Then the flat screens came and though wonderful devices (what's not to love about them?) for writing/editing they were...
Thank you for the like smASH.
This is most likely language specific... but were I to talk to a coder, I would ask for a third button on the over-the-keyboard row of my Connective Editor.
THE [|] BUTTON
The [|] button simply brings the cursor to the end of a word. This is very useful when one...

Thanks Mr. J... That stuff is way over my head. I have a factory floor conceptual solution to make editing on phabs and tabs "snappier" than sit-on-your-butt computers. In other words, I am not a programmer, but a better txt editing philosopher.
The ideal venue for me would be a bunch of...
Thank you!
I made a couple of long posts in the software thread illustrating what I call "Connective Editing"... but they're awaiting moderation. I hope they are eventually shown. Perhaps the mods can move them elsewhere.
Editing examples using [§] and [=]
Task 1: cancel the first part of the paragraph below and leave the quote with the quotation marks.
In the words of the great Hungarian scientist Janos von Neumann: "If people do not believe that mathematics is simple, it is only because they do not realize...
For point six, (previous post) deletively connecting to words, it's generally more efficient to use the second button [=] which obeys the following command:
Check the TWO values immediately to the left of the cursor, hop back in place, and then cancel to the right up to and including those...
EDITING is connective in its blind mechanics.
William Shakespeare highlights text and then hits Backspace
Then a monkey who's been sipping Whiskey all day does the same thing.
What happens in both cases?
In both cases the value just beyond the extreme end of the highlighting (no matter what...
As per my introduction, I have the programming talents of a slug. My only strength is that I know a lot about txt editing. And it is my view that the direction txt editing has taken for phablets and tablets is WRONG.
For example, consider what it takes to cancel a single word on iOS and...
I'm an old guy (65) who's been working as a translator of movie scripts since the early 70's... the days of electric typewriters.
I'm a technological dodo... embarrassing... yet through years and years of experience I know a lot about text editing... to the point that I feel I can make some...
