General Operations
Here's how to use the Concept Editor, from inside of Rev:
• Edit the script of anything in Rev... magic keys (cmd+opt) work, too.
• After editing something, you should find yourself in the Concept Editor
• Instructions on how to Inspect and Peek will appear in the Concept Editor's Status field at the top of the screen.
Once you're in the Concept Editor space:
• The back ground you see is a screenrect-sized stack with a snapshot of what Rev looked like a moment ago.
• Peek at any faux Rev UI element in Backdrop to see it light up and display its specs at top of screen as indicated below.
• Text in the status bar IS selectable, draggable and copyable with command+c as instructed in Peek 'n' Sweepbelow.
• You can use the magic keys (cmd+opt) here to do no-click inspecting as well--just like with Galaxy.
Movement & Control of the Editor
• You can drag the editor around by it's title Concept Editor Work Space.
• Drag the editor around with the option key down and its bottom right corner will hug the bottom right of the screen.
• Double click the Editor's title to "windowshade" the editor up into a single line.
• The X control at top left of editor will take you back to Rev, but so will escape and control+enter.
• Control+enter in Rev may or may not take you back to Concept Editor also. It's finnicky, let's just say.
Be advised, you CAN do the following:
• Compile scripts (enter key or click Compile)
• NOTE: Handling of compile errors works quite nicely.
• Compile and Save scripts (command+s)
• NOTE: Successful compiles and compile/saves are reported in status field.
• Format scripts and colorize
• Comment/Uncomment
• Find/Replace/All
Not working:
• Multiple monitors no worky.
• Tabs (the round rect you see with a purple fill)--only one
• Work Spaces (these will accumulate at the bottom of screen)--only one
• Auto-save/archive doesn't exist yet
• Handling of *execution* errors in Rev...it will try to go to Concept Editor, but then gets really confused)
• Debugging...don't even think about it
• Clairvoyance--not just yet
• Your "work-in-progress" is not saved, so uncompiled scripts are not "remembered." (Feature to be added)
