TSE: Linux: Issue: <Ins> ToggleInsert() is missing in ui/tse.ui

<Ins> ToggleInsert() is missing in ui/tse.ui

Hello,

Rather important key assignment 

<Ins> ToggleInsert()

is missing in Linux tse.ui

Checked in latest TSE for Linux 4.50.6 and TSE for Linux 4.50 official release

Thanks

with friendly greetings

Note: if <Ins> is then set then pressing it when running also the 

 CursorShape.s

TSE macro shows then a small blinking cursor or large blinking cursor.

Note: Then pressing <Ins> works simularly like in TSE for Microsoft Windows, exactly what is wanted.

Knud, 

It seems that in the win.ui & tse.ui in the linux version as well as in the windows version (4.50.6) the toggleinsert is missing.

Met vriendelijke groet,
With kind regards,

Muy atentamente,
Mit Freundliche Gruß,

Sinceramente,

Yes, you are right, not sure why this important '<Ins> ToggleInsert()' (because it switches between 'Insert' and 'Overwrite' when typing which is a very frequently occurring action) is omitted in about all those .ui in both TSE for Linux and TSE for Microsoft Windows.

It seems already predefined in an assumed earlier running file syncfg.si:

f:\wordproc\tse32_v45024\mac Tue 24-06-25 17:48:50>grep -i "ToggleInsert" *.si

SemWare Grep v2.07 for Win32 [Sep 13 2023]

File: F:\WORDPROC\tse32_v45024\mac\syncfg.si

<Ins>               ToggleInsert()

If so, not sure why this is not put in the .ui files instead.

If so, it seems some kind of an exception.

Conclusion:

Not an issue thus, but the result of a SemWare design decision.

The case can be closed.

[Carlo Hogeveen]

To set Knud’s "assumption" straight:
“syncfg.si” is the macro that implements TSE’s "Configure SyntaxHilite Mapping Sets:" menu and submenus.
It temporarily redefines the <Ins> key in the menu-invoked list that lets us change the content of a Keyword group.
Any macro programmer can read this in the macro.
The macro has nothing to do with how <Ins> is handled in the editor.

Instead, basic keys like letters, arrow keys, the insert key, and others are hardcoded into the editor itself.
They can be overruled by a user’s .ui file, but still perform their basic function if they are not.
Neat!

Carlo

Thanks.
