It also means that the ListView's default mechanism for entering editing mode is used, instead of hard coding a double click listener on the todo item label.

It even gives us "escape exits edit mode" for free.

is it pushed somewhere? the todo app?interested in looking at it.

new keyboard came in, I have to get used to it and I am glad I took the red cherry keys, they are loud enough

@ron Not yet, I'm making small modifications to TornadoFX as well, not committed yet either. Discovered some exotic bugs, or at least something I don't fully understand yet. Fun times.

ah if I know you, you are enjoying it

I really like the keyboard, the lettering is quite dark on it though, might have to up the light around my desk

@ron I'm still working to get used to the POK3R as well. I feel like it's straining my fingers a lot less, even though some commands require an extra modifier.

yeah I think setting the caps lock as function key makes it faster and more easy

tbh when do you use that key?

I finally nailed that nasty bug. Pushing a fix soon.

@ron Right, if you use Caps Lock you're probably doing something you shouldn't, so it feels good to finally using it for something genuinely useful. I need to get a fancy keycap for it though. Just writing Fn on it for example.

I'm pretty happy with the TodoItemFragment. I don't think a single line of code here can be avoided.

This might look simple, but there are many subtle pieces of functionality provided by bindings and sneaky TornadoFX tricks in there.

The only thing I find ugly is the requestFocus bit.

how many changes did you make in tornadoFX?

In reality zero. But i fixed two bugs.

I could optimize the sample above more by utilizing the label of the checkbox and showing/hiding the text based on edit state. Hm....

@edvin @Ruckus how can I set a borderStyle to "solid outside"?

@edvin @Ruckus NVM i found an unsafe()/raw() example Is there a better way than unsafe("-fx-border-style", raw("solid outside"))?

@carlw There might be something in the framework css tests or in Thomas's chapter in the guide.

Now I want to attack all the functions in the view model. Keeping track of todo items in a certain state using counters etc is not what we want. This might require some kind of updatable filtered list of some kind. Trying to think about a reusable construct for this.

@edvin I follow what you're saying about state, but the numActive is tracking screen state and not record state. Are you saying that it's better to always compute this on the fly instead of bind to a variable? Ex, use .numActive() instead of "val numActive"? Because the active indicator transcends the active filter (it shows the valid # while looking at completeds)

If screen state = num active using the current filter, then yes, I think this should be calculated. Bear in mind, that's while I still think I can do it.. hehe 🙂 Looking at ways to do it now.

I'm trying to make

SortedFilteredList

completely editable.

Wow, it worked :))

That means you no longer need to access the underlying items list when you want to augment it.

What do you guys use to parse XML files?

kotlin.xml.bind

,

JDOM

,

jackson-module-kotlin

, or Simple XML Framework?

@hastebrot If the format is known I prefer JAXB.
