Some of its features:
- open/save files anywhere in the file system
- cut, copy & paste
- search
- various navigation commands (page up/down etc)
See the readme for a more detailed description.
Tell me what you think and if you have suggestions for improvement :)
The code is on github: https://github.com/lkjcalc/nTxt (https://github.com/lkjcalc/nTxt)
Latest download also on github: https://github.com/lkjcalc/nTxt/releases (https://github.com/lkjcalc/nTxt/releases)

Tell me what you think and if you have suggestions for improvement :)Well, first feature request, of course, opening files. I don't see the point of saving them if we can't open them :P
Secondly, I didn't try, but are those txt real txt ? I mean that if I open it with Notepad on my PC, will it display fine ?
Thirdly, the interface is lacking. Could you add on the left a column with the number of the line for example ?
And the last thing, I didn't manage to save properly using Ctrl+S. Quitting and saving poduced a noname file but when I tried to save with Ctrl+S, I wrote /documents/nTxt/test and there was no test file ???
Other than this, it seems great already, good job :D

You can always delete a file in the student software or computer link, maybe also tilp, even files which don't show up on the calculator (they still have to be in the Documents folder, though).
I completely forgot about file association, thanks for mentioning it :)
Today only opening with ctrl+o if you know the path, no file browser. Maybe file association tomorrow ;D

New release: file association support, some bug fixes.I somehow missed that release but that is great :D
Does it automatically add the entry in the ndless.cfg if it is missing or do we have to add it manually ?
edit Bug reports and feature requests
- I don't manage to "save as" with Ctrl+Shift+S. When I do Ctrl+Shift+S, nothing happens ???
- Adding the down/up keys to go to the next/previous line would be great :D

Can you for example also make .cht.tns files with this? (would be awesome since then we can change cheats on calc)

It doesn't add itself to ndless.cfg.tns because I was unsure if this was good style. Do other programs do it?
You can always open the file with nTxt and add the line (though it's a pita without up/down arrow navigation).
Yeah I've also noticed the bug with "save as". I'm unsure why it doesn't work, but once there's a menu it isn't a problem anymore.
Adding the down/up keys will be top priority after the menu works ;)
So what I get from this is that this is a raw text file editor?Sure, it's normal ascii raw text files.

About text enrichment (write in bold, etc), wouldn't that break compatibility with the PC txt format ?
If that doesn't, then you can add it too. If it does, according to me it is not a great loss to not have it ;)

What I would like is line numbers and a differently-colored entry line (like gedit) :)
Post by: Lionel Debroux on October 30, 2012, 03:14:52 am
What we would need is a reader for that format - effectively, a Nspire equivalent of Hib-View / uView.
Post by: mdr1 on October 30, 2012, 10:44:25 am
- it is impossible to scroll, we can just go on the right or the left, and so to see a following page, we have tu click 2000 times on the right touch
- when open your readme.txt with nTxt, a weird character appears on each new line
Good luck !

Yeah, text enrichment would need another format than txt. I don't know what txtrider and the others which Lionel mentioned are, I'll have to read up on it.
I don't care for text enrichment. If I want to emphasize something in a txt, I put it between /slashes/ or _underscores_.So you think horizontal scrolling would be better than wrapping lines?
What I would like is line numbers and a differently-colored entry line (like gedit) :)
It's really a good program ! But you may improve those points :In the latest update you can also use the up/down arrows, is that still too inconvenient?

I know about the weird character, it's the carriage return which I didn't implement yet.
Should I use a different and smaller font?
Post by: Lionel Debroux on October 30, 2012, 11:30:43 am
Years before TI came up with an ultra-heavyweight XML brain damage for the Nspire (made much worse in OS 3.2), the TI-68k series had formatted text (simple #-based markup that can be edited by humans with the standard text editor of the calculator) with bold, underline, multiple font sizes, image support, thanks to its programmability and the work of third-party programmers.
Post by: aeTIos on October 30, 2012, 11:33:02 am
By the way, I just tested 08 and it crashes my calc on trying to save.
Post by: mdr1 on October 30, 2012, 12:10:46 pm
So you think horizontal scrolling would be better than wrapping lines?Mmh, with horizontal scrolling, it would be harder to see the whole text. But 2 touches for vertical scroll would be usefull.
Should I use a different and smaller font?A smaller font would enable to see more text so I think it would be a great idea. But you can also give the choice with the menu.
Could you also add the possibility of opening several texts ? And the possiblity of copying/pasting would be great !
Post by: lkj on October 30, 2012, 03:19:39 pm
The format initiated by the old and buggy txtrider, and IIRC slightly expanded by the newer and less unstable Hib-View and uView, is the de-facto standard rich text format on the TI-68k series :)Ah ok. So it's not necessary that I do something about it, because it would need a viewer and not new editor features.

I would say text wrapping or horizontal scrolling should be optional to not break stuff. I actually never have it on, but whatever.Ok, that's not high priority then.

I can't reproduce this crash. How did you save (from the menu, save, save as or with ctrl+s)? And what filename/path did you enter?

What do you mean by "2 touches for vertical scroll"? Multitouch on the touchpad? I believe that's not possible hardware wise.

It would be smart to use TI's font and functions for this, as they support UTF-16. You could ask Levak for the syscalls et all, as he has done some work in this area.

If you are going to use a keyboard, I think the best way would be to make a text editor for linux (yeah, it has nano, but if you don’t press enter, you get one long ugly line) and try to make it so that you can save your filesI have never done any linux dev and there surely is a better editor which could be ported, and besides I have a non-CX and can't use linux. Someone else will have to do this :)
Glad to see a new text editor. I didn't follow the other one progress much but I didn't realize that it wasn't being maintained anymore.IIRC the maintainer said he would come back to Omni and continue development in the summer holidays, but he didn't log in for five months and the last project update was almost one year ago :(

It still need to be stabilized. I'll try to hook into the OS event management. Ndless programs such as nTxt will then just need to use the event read function to pop key events, whether they come from the pad or a USB keyboard.

- CTRL + [²] (√) for "√"
- the flag key for changing a letter (e=>é=>è=>ê=>ë, a=>à, e=>€, c=>ç ...)

- ctrl + a
- go to start and end of document (with ctrl+7 and ctrl+1 respectively)
- there should be less glitches with lines longer than what fits on one line on the screen, up/down arrow navigation works with them now
- fixed some bugs
What keys should I use for home and end? I couldn't find any key combo in TI's apps which does that.
The next update shouldn't take too long, "only" some bug fixing with page up and down.

Find string: Ctrl+F, find next: Ctrl+G, find previous: Ctrl+Shift+G
There are also some fixes to the selection of text and if the installed ndless is too old, it tells you to update instead of crashing.
For the file browser how about talking to hoffa about somehow integrating either Ndless Commander into nTxt or nTxt into Ndless Commander? There is source code so you could play around with it for a bit.There are at least three file browsers I could look at, but I would still need some time.

But there's a weird thing : it became impossible to enter the "<" character.

But there's a weird thing : it became impossible to enter the "<" character.Oops, I've broken all characters for which you have to press the ctrl key :(
But it's easy to fix, will be fixed in the next release.
Btw, do you have a suggestion for keys for an equivalent of HOME and END on the pc keyboard?

Post by: lkj on December 27, 2012, 08:56:12 pm
Can you take ctrl-left and ctrl-right? then you could make these home and end, and ctrl-shift-right/left to select them, just like normal pc'sOk, I'll do that.

How about implementing touchpad mouse support?
If you hold down CTRL while using the touchpad you can use the cursor like a mouse?
And if you're moving the cursor while pressing the touchpad/holding down SHIFT, you'd be able to scoll?
Post by: lkj on December 28, 2012, 06:57:37 pm
I don't know about the mouse cursor (as I think it would be rather difficult to program), but scrolling with the touchpad is definitely something I want to add. I don't know yet how I'll do it exactly, though, as I haven't started implementing it.
Post by: mdr1 on December 29, 2012, 05:01:25 am
I voted yes for the horizontal scrolling, but we should be able to activate or no this option in a menu.
EDIT : I hope you don't forget the possibility of having a smaller font. :)
Post by: lkj on January 01, 2013, 06:47:17 pm
Apart from that I've only added a warning if you try to overwrite an existing file.
Are you thinking about opening several files ?I'm thinking about opening several files, but there are some things which I think are more important.
I voted yes for the horizontal scrolling, but we should be able to activate or no this option in a menu.
EDIT : I hope you don't forget the possibility of having a smaller font. :)
If you all want horizontal scrolling, I'll add it, shouldn't be too difficult. It surely will be optional ;)
I still hope I can get a syscall for displaying text to work, that would solve the problem with the font.

Then you have to do a hard reset.
Post by: lkj on January 15, 2013, 04:50:01 pm
If this doesn't solve the problem, can you send me the file or if you don't want to send it, tell me some details (size, what did you change via the computer, is it a normal text file and such things)?

Another good feature would be, if you open a file and do NOT modify it, it should not ask if the file should be saved.

Other than the bugfix there's only one small change: nTxt now registers itself for all files with the file extension ".txt", you don't have to do it by hand anymore.
To use the new nTxt, you have to update your Ndless to a newer revision than r797. Just install the latest public release ;)

Nice, does it means that we can now run txt files directly from the documents menu now? I think mViewer did that with images and doing this with txt files would be cool, since sometimes you might want to quickly access your favorite game readme or school notesWe already were able to do so. The new thing is that the .cfg file is now automatically modified by the program.

- reworked the filebrowser, now you can also enter a filename (press the tab key to place the cursor in the filename input box or back)
- save now also uses the filebrowser (you don't have to type the full path where you want to save to anymore)
Sounds good... Is it possible to get an update of the zip-file? This would be very nice.Sure, I just didn't attach it yesterday because there were almost no changes. And because I was already working on today's bigger update.
Thanks in advance.

If you keep a key pressed, the time it takes till it's accepted again gets much shorter after the second read now. (If you don't understand what I mean, just keep a key on your computer keyboard pressed. It will take some time till the keypress results in a 2nd input, but then it gets much faster)
I wouldn't have thought how much this helps with inputting things and moving the cursor ;)

I sadly didn't try this text editor in particular, but I wonder if just taking a computer txt file then renaming it from readme.txt to readme.txt.tns would work? I know this is how Mviewer works with images, but I could be wrong about text.Yes, that's exactly how it works.
That should work. Sadly, my nspire didn't want to cooperate with ntxt, constantly crashing when I tried to save/load a file.Unfortunately, it wasn't very stable some time ago. But I didn't see or hear of any crashes with the latest about two versions.

Oh OK...I was also thinking you could use it for reading text files like an eBook reader. The file would be in plain text. But since this has trouble with special characters it would not work. The Lua based eBook reader that someone made has the same issue. If I have a pretty big file I would have to go through it and get rid of the special characters which would be very time consuming.It wouldn't display the special characters correctly, but it's not necessary to remove them to be able to open the file.
If you have a text file that contains UTF-8 try opening the file up using Notepad++. Notepad++ gives the option to convert to ANSI. See if that works.That's the best option for now.
Forgive me for asking this but what do you guys use a text editor for on the calculator? I am just curious.When I started coding nTxt I wanted to be able to write programs on my calculator even when I don't have a computer with me, but without an on-calc assembler or compiler it's not very useful. And for Lua you can use the Notes app just as well... So I end up not using it often :P

With the progress of MicroPython on Nspire, nTxt may now be much more useful than it has been.
It can be a true editor for Python.
I'm a math and computer science teacher and 107 of my students just received their new Nspire CX CAS and I told them to use both MicroPython and nTxt (they were lucky to receive them with OS 3.6... so they could install Ndless).
But I noticed a few features that could enhance their use of nTxt :
- open last opened document instead of a new one when launching nTxt (or ask)
- keep in memory the position of last opened document in tree hierarchy
- better organize this hierarchy (some folders are not with the others, and there's no alphabetical order...)
- if possible, allow the launch of another Ndless program from nTxt (e.g. launch MicroPython that would read current opened file)
All this would be very useful for a programming point of view.
Thanks in advance to consider these feature requests... hoping this program is still in development...
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on October 09, 2014, 02:54:41 am
As for the nTxt program, I am unsure if it's still being developed, but rewriting it in python instead of C would definitively be a lot of work, so it could take a while. That's unless you mean making nTxt so that it lets people write Python code inside it instead of just plain text files, which would definitively be very great. Some people prefer coding on-calc. :)

In fact, it already works. Just type your Python code in nTxt, save it as "anything.py.tns" and MicroPython will launch it.
My feature requests were only to simplify some routines many times repeated when testing a new program...
With the actual version of nTxt, if you want to modify a previously saved "anything.py.tns", you have to :
- launch nTxt
- ask to open an existing document
- close the current (empty) one
- search for your document in tree hierarchy and finally open it
Then you add the ":" that you forgot, save and close for testing it again.
And you have to do it again if you want to change anything.
It can get very annoying, especially for students leaning the language and making many syntax errors.
It would be a real big plus if this could be simplified.
If nTxt is not developped anymore, maybe I or someone else could modify it to allow these features (I didn't see any license, but the sources are given...) Just asking...
Post by: SpiroH on October 09, 2014, 09:21:58 am

Opening MicroPython directly from nTxt shouldn't be hard to implement, but MicroPython crashes the emulator with "Invalid new processor mode" when it exits (OS 3.6, Ndless r1011, MicroPython taken from here (http://tiplanet.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=15140&lang=en#p169306)), so I haven't really looked into it.
Also this was a quick hack, so I might have broken something :P
Post by: bisam on October 10, 2014, 04:35:06 pm
I didn't try it yet, but thanks for beeing the first to shoot...
Also, one of my students noticed that there is no key combination for the % character in nTxt. As it symbolizes "modulo" in Python, it is clearly needed, so it should be added to the priority list.

Hi matteob92. I actually haven't worked on nTxt during this year, for multiple reasons. Firstly, studying at university left me with almost no time for programming. Secondly, I didn't know what to do next with nTxt: all the features I had suggested back then are almost useless without unicode support, and implementing that would require too much work. Also, pdfs or the built-in documents are better suited for most usage cases of those things.
If you want something added, you cann suggest it and maybe I'll do it, or implement it yourself, the code is on github ;)
Unfortunately I could suspect it reading your post #152, fortunately you're still there after a year!
I understood your reasons, probably you're right about pdfs (but I don't know what you mean for 'built-in documents')
Honestly I would receive my first TI-nspire CX CAS probably tomorrow : is used, give me the time to downgrade OS and install Ndless 3.6 and I'll report to you suggestions/idea if I something of interesting ;)
About github, you have a private message :(

Have you a tutorial?

You need to press 7 and ctrl at the same time, like on a computer. Did you do that?No, was that my mystake : yesterday I found myself the solution, I was pressing before ctrl and then the number assigned thinking the calc would have memorized the blue ctrl featured as it does into math mode for 2nd functions on a key, and not at same time as you said.
Now for not make a mistake I before keep ctrl and then I push the key assigned to the option I want, this morning I payed attention to the readme.txt included and I must admit the program is great :)
I nave only a suggestion for when the document has a line enough long : I see tab key introduces much spacing but I think could be more useful to horizontal scrolling (for example, I see that a line could own till 40 characters, we could set it to scroll of 35 characters to the right and in this way we could view the whole content quickly, because the pad that goes on of 1 character/time is very low).
Have you an idea how to remap this key?
Post by: lkj on November 30, 2015, 03:09:50 am
But I don't really want to repurpose the tab key. I guess ctrl+4 to scroll left and ctrl+6 to scroll right would make sense.

Adding a key for horizontal scrolling is a great idea.
But I don't really want to repurpose the tab key. I guess ctrl+4 to scroll left and ctrl+6 to scroll right would make sense.
These combinations are yet here or you have to implement?
I suggested 'tab' because is used on pc this way, and pressing 1 single key is more quick and 'innocent' than pressing 2 at the same time (such during an exam, understand me)
EDIT : from what I see studying key map, also the 'trig' button that has yet an arrow-shaped could help us..

I'm used to tab being used on the PC the way it is used in nTxt. You're right that we could additionally map all this navigation stuff to the unused math keys.
With a bit more work it may also be possible to make controls customizable.

I'll live with this setup of tab key, hoping we would have success early what is your actual idea/choice about the key to assign?
I love this purpose, we could make this program still more useful and user-friendly : feel free to asking me for advices/reviews if you need :)

Also, page up is now additionally mapped to the "Trig" key, page down to the "x^2" key, scroll left to the "e^x" key, scroll right to the "10^x" key.
As alway, code on github.

I implemented the quick horizontal scrolling: scroll left with ctrl+4, right with ctrl+6.

I hadn't participated in the last days because I was waiting for downgrading to 3.6 OS, today that I had performed it Omnimaga didn't work : I promise to try the new release tomorrow because I'm looking forward to see how you implemented my request.
If I could make 2 suggestions I think would be useful both inserting direct link to your Github into OP (because is only present into #159 message of Ott 11 2014) and uploading also here almost last release if not possible all the previous ones, because if happens again that we can't login to the forum we would have a mirror where downloading the program :)
Unfortunately I wasn't able to start the new version : I'm on OS 3.6.0.550 Ndless-ed, I've copied your 'nTxt.tns' to 'ndless' folder and also tried creating a new one with name 'nTxt.prg.tns' as shown into the image(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/12/06/ef02915a237d24fb46be58cdfcb4f1f6.jpg)
But when I try to start the program from the calculator I obtain always the error "This kind of document is not supported.
NAMEFILE.tns" like this (http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/12/06/187e1d2997ac9d6b736dd66f9be0f4fa.jpg)
I've also copied again the 'ndless.cfg.tns' and performed a new Ndless installation but without success, what can I do? What is the problem?

It seems that you need to use the .prg.tns file if your Ndless version is older. If it still doesn't work, try updating your Ndless installation.

You're right, as written into nPDF's thread also in this case is necessary executing X.prg.tns version of a program when installed Ndless 3.6 (or however a previous version than the last available) :finally I got it :)(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/12/07/cccd5c4c8711cde37a5f2614ad54359f.jpg)
I love new key implementations because they're intuitive to press, very useful :D
P.s. I saw the line added into OP about Github ;)

Also, you don't need to use the PRG file on OS 3.6. The ndless_resources.tns file from Ndless 3.9 that has Zehn support actually works on 3.1 and 3.6. Just replace your ndless_resources.tns with the one from 3.9, nPDF.tns should run. Unfortunately, this isn't well-documented.
I'll have to try your latest nTxt version, lkj. I think I have version 11 on my calc :P
Post by: matteob92 on December 08, 2015, 05:31:12 am
As written in the nPDF thread,In fact I didn't know this workaround, I had always believed is purely a compatibility problem as written into post #58 of that thread by Vogtinator (http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/12/08/ee1dde0d7083aa5bf8ca025fbc20db83.jpg)Also, you don't need to use the PRG file on OS 3.6.

Happy to has learnt a new thing, probably I'll make the switch after the exam to avoid the 'kind of document not supported' in the future ;) (I don't know what differ exactly from the 'X.tns' to the 'X.prg.tns')
However update your 11 version, lkj has done an amazing job with 24

Small update. No new features, but added custom clipboard syscalls for Ndless 3.9 and Ndless 4 (before it just crashed on those OSes when you used the clipboard).I didn't know was out for OS 4.0, I sold the new model to a friend at December : good news https://github.com/ndless-nspire/Ndless/releases/tag/v4.0 :)

Hi, I have a TI-nspire cx CAS 4.2.0.532 with the latest ndless, but I encounter a lot of problems in using your software (eg screen glitches and similar while opening and closing files). Am I doing something wrong?The screen glitches are normal, they just look ugly but are not a problem.
Also, feature request, make the "scratchpad" work (i don't know if this is a problem with ndless or something else)
Thanks :)
I don't think making the scratchpad work is possible the way Ndless programs work at the moment. It would probably require more integration with the OS.
The clipboard features don't work on Ndless 4 and compatibel? I have Ndless 4.4 :(Yes, it's a custom sycall, that is the binary needs to be updated with new addresses every time a new OS comes out... I'll see when I have time for that.

nTxt is a text editor for the Nspire. It requires Ndless to be installed on your calculator.Hi ikj,
am just trying the v. 26 of nTxt. It works good but there seems to be a bug: by selecting one or more signs in a text and using ctrl-c the nspire reboots. Treid it several times, can not find any reason.
My Nspire: cx cas, os 4.4, also ndless. With nTxt v. 25 I get the same reboot.

Some days ago a notification into Tapatalk app remembered me I have a TI-Nspire CX CAS calculator, now I want to update it both for OS and Ndless :)Hi, I have a TI-nspire cx CAS 4.2.0.532 with the latest ndless, but I encounter a lot of problems in using your software (eg screen glitches and similar while opening and closing files).

From what I can understand the last nTxt 26 doesn't work on OS 4.4.0, but have you or Others tried if it works almost with the 4.2.0 or the 4.0.3?
I want a newer OS because sometimes calc doesn't solve equations systems, compared to the one of a friend updated..

nTxt 26 should work on 4.0.3, but on 4.2 and 4.4 using the clipboard features (i.e. copy/cut/paste) crashes the calc.Apart from that features, the app works flawlessy?
Do you think will be complicated updating the binary to grant compatibility to the last 2 versions of OS? ::)
Post by: Jonson26 on March 13, 2017, 06:59:39 am
And, by the way, I am still curious about the booklet & ctrl+c/v/x/a (compatible with the os, would be awesome for JSE exporting).
:thumbsup: Goopd job!

I already found the new syscall addresses yesterday, but I still need to find out how to add them correctly to build a new release.
Is there still developement?No, just small fixes and compatibility updates.
And, by the way, I am still curious about the booklet & ctrl+c/v/x/a (compatible with the os, would be awesome for JSE exporting).

Weird display bug: Each pixel at the horizontal axe is followed by n blank pixels.
Example:
1111 1000100010001
1001 is 1000000000001
1111 1000100010001
Of course n=3 is just an example value. I just didn't count.
I have a TI-nspire CAS classic with os 3.9 and the latest ndless.

It does say activating compatibility mode
Post by: lkj on February 26, 2018, 06:06:00 pm
I have tried this program on OS 4.5, rev. AB and whenever a dialogue comes up the screen shows random pixels and flickers????If you mean the random pixels and garbage around the dialogue, that's always been the case. Don't worry about it.
It does say activating compatibility mode
You should update your program, because copy/paste and selection don't work on 4.5 :(I know. But finding the addresses and recompiling every time there is a new OS is annoying. Maybe I'll just revert to an internal clipboard which isn't shared with the OS for unsupported OSes.
