@gtnarg That sounds like a good idea. If we're missing something I think that could be addressed within the implementation without needing to change the API.

@edvin - the other use case I ran into to go along with this is to be able to click "Add" - add the child in the model and then be able to select the new item in the tree. Since you are doing the "Add" from a selected node - you just need to find the first child (starting with the selected node) whose underlying value matches. Perhaps there is a way to do this with a listener for the new TreeItem?

@gtnarg I think we can do this through the selectionModel, possibly by adding a small extension function.

@edvin - interested to see what you come up with...

@gtnarg I want to finish the first screencast I have in my head now, then I will look at it 🙂

@edvin - np - I was just doing a bit of a brain dump 🙂

@gtnarg Perfect, we have a plan :)

@gtnarg hmmz can't remember seeing that code to be honest looks very good

Good, and simple. Plus, we can implement it without breaking the API or even introducing a new one.

I don't know if any of you are interested, but if you want to try how navigation works on the POK3R, I've made this AutoHotKey script that emulates it almost perfectly. https://github.com/edvin/ahkpok3r

you should try SpaceFn; I can't go back to having an Fn button 😛

@kevinmost I use CapsLock as Fn, also in the POK3R emulation above. What's SpaceFn? You use Space as the Fn key somehow?

tapping space is space, holding down space puts you into an Fn layer. For me, my Fn layer has WASD as arrow keys and IJKL as mouse keys. I can control both the arrows and the mouse without ever moving my hands away from where they are when I type, basically

for compatibility's sake, most implementations let you have space held down still by double tapping but holding down space on the 2nd tap, just in case some program needs you to hold space to do something

the only time it ever gets to be an issue is for games, in my experience, and I have a proper layer toggle that removes the SpaceFn function for gaming

my caps-lock button is already overloaded (tap is Escape, hold down is Ctrl), so I couldn't put an Fn there

I see 🙂 Cool trick, using a non-dead key as dead while it's being held.

I'm pretty happy with Fn on Tab, and Escape is above, Ctrl is below it, so I don't know why that would be better than just having them where they are?

I didn't want to move my backtick button so that's still what my upper-left button does. Basically, I don't have an escape button aside from the caps-lock remap. And Ctrl, in my opinion, is very far away and in a kind of unergonomic spot, which is why I prefer the ergonomic placement of caps-lock for it

moving in and out of vim modes is also much quicker with escape being that close to your finger, I think. It's a pretty large and repetitive motion to swing your left pinky around all the way to where escape normally is IMO

@kevinmost We don't have the TMK-style double taps on our POK3Rs. It's programming is limited. Certain keys are reserved to support on-board programming, etc

yeah, double mapping for tap/hold was one of the must-haves in TMK for me and why I couldn't go with the POK3R 😕

let me try that again with some better spelling

@User uploaded a file: and commented: switches for a custom keypad with arduino mini firmware

nice. Writing the firmware from the ground up?

with the USB HID library for Arduino I guess?

yeah. there's a keyboard library but i also have some raw C that I'm looking over

was considering a Planck for the double-tap feature, but went with a Core instead

you could also build one half of a Let's Split, which has QMK support

if you look at the messages from early in the morning, you'll see a video i put up that pairs a netty client (rxtx) with tornadofx
