Other keyboard layouts?

[stebanos]

I'm using a keyboard with azerty layout but the Cyril editor runs in qwerty mode. I haven't found a way to change this anywhere.

Hi, thanks for the feedback. This is actually an issue in openFrameworks. More precisely it's probably in GLFW, linked with this issue:

openframeworks/openFrameworks#2562

Looks like a fix is on the way, from here:

glfw/glfw#117

glfw/glfw@dc987ed was just merged with fixes that may address this.

[darrenmothersele]

There's a new release posted today.
Has this been fixed since I recompiled against the latest openFrameworks?
Also, you can now use an external editor, such as sublime text, so this might mitigate the issue?

[stebanos]

Thank you for working on this. Unfortunately it has still the same behaviour, though.

How can I use an external editor? I don't see it in the documentation.

[darrenmothersele]

Yes, it's not been documented yet. But - there's now a "data" folder that exists outside of the app - it was hidden in the app bundle before. You can edit these files while Cyril is running and it will pick up any changes.
So, open up "data/code/1.cy" in an editor, make changes while Cyril is running, save, and it will reload the new program.
Does that make sense?

P.S. there's a separate repo for the website. I'd really appreciate any feedback on improving the documentation, you can post as issues in here: https://github.com/darrenmothersele/cyrilcode.com

I just tried to edit some of the .cy files in data/code with Sublime Text and saving them but it does not seem to work, Cyril is just showing a blank window.

Are you definitely running the code? In Cyril you need to hit Cmd+R to actually run the code in that window. Once this is done, subsequent saves to the file in an external editor will update the display.

I'm pressing CMD+R after every change which works fine within Cyril, but maybe I'm missing something.
What I did so far:

• open cyril
• open data/code/0.cy in Sublime Text
• change any line in 0.cy
• press CMD+S in Sublime Text
• press CMD+R in Cyril
  Result: nothing happens

Update: I've also followed the "Getting started"-guide on this topic, also not successful.
