CmdPeriod allows you to register objects to perform an action when the user presses Cmd-. These objects must implement a method called strong::-cmdPeriod:: which performs the necessary tasks. (You can add such a method in your custom classes.) Note that since link::Classes/Function:: implements strong::-cmdPeriod:: as a synonym for strong::-value::, it is possible to register any function (and thus any arbitrary code) for evaluation when Cmd-. is pressed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ClassMethods::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
method::add
|
||
|
|
Registers an object to be cleared when Cmd-. is pressed. This object will stay registered until it is explicitly removed, and will thus respond to additional presses of Cmd-.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
method::remove
|
||
|
|
Removes an object that was previously registered.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
method::removeAll
|
||
|
|
Removes all objects that have been registered.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
method::doOnce
|
||
|
|
Registers an object to be evaluated once, and then unregistered.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
method::objects
|
||
|
|
Get or set the list of objects that are called when CmdPeriod is evaluated.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
method::era
|
||
|
|
The number of times CmdPeriod has been called since startup.

|

|
|
Examples::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
code::
|
||
|
|
(
|
||
|
|
f = {"foo".postln };
|
||
|
|
g = {"bar".postln };
|
||
|
|
CmdPeriod.add(f);
|
||
|
|
CmdPeriod.add(g);
|
||
|
|
)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// Now press Cmd-.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CmdPeriod.remove(g);
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// Now press Cmd-. Only f executes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CmdPeriod.remove(f); // must explicitly cleanup
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// Now press Cmd-.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CmdPeriod.add(g); // one object is added only once.
|
||
|
|
CmdPeriod.add(g); // one object is added only once.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// Now press Cmd-.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// remove it again.
|
||
|
|
CmdPeriod.remove(g);
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// note that often you want to automatically remove the function once it is evaluated
|
||
|
|
// instead of
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
f = { "foo".postln; CmdPeriod.remove(f) };
|
||
|
|
CmdPeriod.add(f);
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// you can write:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CmdPeriod.doOnce { "foo".postln }
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// a typical example:
|
||
|
|
(
|
||
|
|
w = Window.new("close on cmd-.").front;
|
||
|
|
CmdPeriod.doOnce { w.close };
|
||
|
|
)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// in some cases you might need to defer the function by a short amount of time
|
||
|
|
a = { Synth(\default)};
|
||
|
|
a.value;
|
||
|
|
CmdPeriod.add({{a.value}.defer(0.01)});
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// remove all
|
||
|
|
CmdPeriod.removeAll
