Question

Fix the repl editor in max to allow multi-line code.

Closed this issue 5 years ago · 4 comments

Right now, enter sends the code out, which makes multi-line code impossible except by copy and paste. Need to figure that out

Fix this thing up into a bpatcher that can go in the external so people can just do s4m.repl and get it looking good

Try updating the content of the box with a programmatic message from C, that might allow sending in the carriage returns ok??

We can update the text box with multiline content from C, but this will require making a much more involved repl history object, so going to make the simple bpatcher version first and go back to that later.

Have made a new patcher, s4m.repl which is the bpatcher for a simple repl that works for multi-line output but has no history. Will do history differently in later version as an external.
