Beaver -a lightweight text/src editor

yokos · 02-16-2008, 09:22 AM

I have started a Beaver thread here, but I never published a binary.

useful things:
# USB keyboard server
# windowmanager fluxbox

Without fluxbox you have to live with this odds:
# Beaver starts as a non-fullscreen-window, you can set the size of the window in the Edit/Preferences.
# Beaver window lies above all others.
# Beaver does not work right with ipdf [it was discussed in the older beaver thread].
Therefore I recommend to give fluxbox a try. You can change the size of beaver's window when you drag & drop a corner edge with stylus.

Screenshots shows a fluxbox/ipdf/Beaver session.

Awesome! You now have me thinking about buying a USB keyboard. And I wonder if I could connect my psion 5mx to the iliad and use that.

Awesome!
I mean awful...
no Awesome!

This editor is very good indeed and once you managed to change the size of the window it is really useable (even with the onboard keyboard). If I need a full refresh I just press "SHIFT" twice.
Thanks for this app!!!

Argg. I've set the windowsize so small, that I cant got to preferences anymore to reset this. Reinstall didnt help. Yokos: Do you know where this information is stored?

Thanks

Yepp, beaver uses the dir /home/root/.beaver/ for configuration files.

Shell script is attached, which deletes the config file "General". Beaver creates a new one with default values, when you start beaver the next time.

I have set the home directory to

Code:

export HOME=/usr/local/home

in the beaver starting shell script, but beaver ignores this.
