how do you type this on TokenIDE?
-
~D->D
-
~D→D
As Deep Thought said, you can check the AxeTokens.xml or the Tokens.xml files to see how to type stuff.
-
Nope, it's ->, not →.
-
Nope, it's ->, not →.
They are both correct for TokenIDE, it reads them as the same.....
-
→ is an alternative for ->, so as Scout said they both work. However, -> is the main symbol, since that's the one that's easiest to type in the keyboard, that means when it's opening a program it'll show it as ->, even if you put →.
It might be a good idea for me to have some sort of look up.
Also note that if you want to actually use a tilde, you'll want to use the string:
|~If you actually want a vertical bar and then a tilde, you can use backslash to escape it, but then you need to include the bar for a tilde:
|\||~
You should also update to the most recent version of tokens:
http://merthsoft.com/Tokens.zip (http://merthsoft.com/Tokens.zip)
I don't know which version you're using, but some improvements have been made. Specifically the "Tokens" pane when editing a file which helps show how it's actually getting converted for the calc:

This reminds me that I need to update the Tokens thread here, someone should make sure I do that when I get home.
-
It's just *way* easier for me to type → than ->, it takes less than half of the time, so I just type that all the time.
-
That's fair. It's going to be different for different keyboards/users, that's why I added the "alt" in there. You can, of course, edit the xml to your liking and make → the main.

Ah that's great, thanks I didn't know that :)

cool. is the one on ticalc.org not the most recent? possibly as it was updated march 2011
Yeah this one's much better, has the characters in brackets
-

Ah, didn't know that, sorry :)
And that token panel looks cool! Can it be optionally disabled?
-
Ok then I'll try and sum up the differences for beginners like me:
Tell me if there's any mistakes

It can't be disabled, but that's because there's no real reason to do so. Maybe if someone is using a REALLY slow machine they'd notice a performance hit. If it comes up as an issue, and I can turn off the auto-update.

Ah, that's wonderful, I should definitely include that in the download, you'll be credited. Thanks!

Thank you so much. It is an incomplete list tho, i'll see if i can update it and simplify it to just include the commands that can be confusing!
Eg: I have already separated the commands that require square braces (eg: [sigmax]) from the rest
also about the panel. it can be very slow once you insert a long string for example a picture, each command takes about a second to update. maybe you could set it so that it wouldn't automatically update the tokens every time you type a character but there's a refresh button if you want to see the updated token/hex code?
Anyway this is kinda going off topic, well i mean this stuff should be in the official TokenIDE thread, if there is one. if there isn't one (except for this thread) then never mind what i just said.

That thread is right here (http://ourl.ca/6647).

Anyway, TokenIDE hasn't been updated for a while, and there's that guide I wrote for TokenIDE commands for beginners a few months ago. http://ourl.ca/11203/212954
Also I am happy that I have been able to contribute to some of the changes such as option for Live Update in the Token's right side panel.

@merthsoft Are you also going to add in my guide for Using TokenIDE for beginners in the download?
