2023-09-30Switch to the 0BSD licenseTeddy Wing
Since this is intended to be template code upon which to build a full application, I didn't like that the prior license required the full license text to be reproduced in distributions. I want the code to be a base for developers to use when starting a Cocoa application, like the template code that's generated in a new Xcode project. As such, I want people to be allowed to remove my license when distributing the code.
2023-09-30Add license (primarily BSD-3-Clause)Teddy Wing
Set a BSD-3-Clause license on all the application code so that it can be freely used as a base template for an application. Use the GNU GPLv3+ for the log script as it's a helper utility that isn't compiled into the application.
2023-09-30MainMenu: Keep getting application name at runtimeTeddy Wing
Originally, I hoped to include the application name from the Makefile at compile time, but that ended up being thorny due to application names with spaces and escaping concerns. Then I tried putting the application name in a constant, but didn't like that this required duplicating it in yet another place. Ultimately I've decided to stick with what I had originally, getting the application name at runtime from the bundle's Info.plist dictionary.
2023-09-30MainMenu: Move application name to a constantTeddy Wing
Switch to a constant-stored application name from the Makefile-defined one. This makes it easier to render the application name without worrying about escaping differences between the Makefile and Objective-C. But I still don't like it compared to what I had before.
2023-09-30Try to get app name from compiler flagTeddy Wing
This isn't working with the spaces handling. Not sure if I want to keep going with this approach as it feels like spaces and escaping is going to get hairy to deal with.
2023-09-29MainMenu: Remove custom "Open Recent" menu itemTeddy Wing
Now that we've confirmed that the "Open Recent" menu item is inserted automatically below the "Open" menu item in document-based applications, we can safely remove our custom one from the File menu.
2023-09-29MainMenu: Remove unused `show_all_menu_item` variableTeddy Wing
2023-09-09Clean up "Find" menu testsTeddy Wing
* Remove the `NSTextFinder` code as it's not necessary to get a find bar for an `NSTextView`. * Remove the commented notes for the "Find" menu.
2023-09-09AppDelegate: Add NSTextFinder find barTeddy Wing
Add a find bar leveraging NSTextFinder. It turns out I didn't need to do anything custom with `NSTextFinder` since `NSTextView` conveniently already has a `usesFindBar` property to turn on built-in support for it. I discovered that by looking at the TextEdit source code available here: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/samplecode/TextEdit/Introduction/Intro.html I added an `NSScrollView` because you kind of need one to implement `NSTextFinder`. Not sure if the finding functionality would still work without the scroll view. Also use the proper `-performTextFinderAction:` selector for the "Find…" menu item to open the find bar. Now we can confirm that the "Find" menu items work correctly.
2023-08-23MainMenu: Remove localisation TODOTeddy Wing
This is done now.
2023-08-23MainMenu: Use stringWithFormat for titles containing application nameTeddy Wing
I get the sense that the word order, particularly for the "Help" menu item, may be different in other languages. Rather than force a certain word order by concatenating strings, include the application name in the localisation by making it a format string with an argument.
2023-08-23MainMenu: Add localisation for menu items containing application nameTeddy Wing
Don't think concatenating is the right approach here, but good enough for now.
2023-08-23MainMenu: Correct "Data Detectors" menu item titleTeddy Wing
I miscopied this title when I was looking at a template MainMenu.xib in Xcode. While I was trying to make a test translation strings file using the AppleGlot dictionaries, I discovered the mistake.
2023-08-22MainMenu: Add NSLocalizedString wrappersTeddy Wing
Make the menu items localization-capable by wrapping their titles in `NSLocalizedString`. Generate a base Localizable.strings file with `make genstrings`.
2023-08-22MainMenu: Add note for static application nameTeddy Wing
2023-08-22MainMenu: Add note for localisationTeddy Wing
2023-08-22AppDelegate: Set `allowsUndo` on the NSTextViewTeddy Wing
Just discovered this property which enables basic undo/redo functionality on the NSTextView. I can now confirm that the Undo and Redo menu bar items do in fact work.
2023-08-21MainMenu: Remove custom Font menuTeddy Wing
Now that we have a working Font menu built by `NSFontManager`, we can remove our custom Font menu code.
2023-08-21MainMenu: Add missing Command modifier if missing from Font menu itemsTeddy Wing
I don't understand why, but on Mac OS X 10.15, three menu items in the automatically-generated Font menu don't have a Command key modifier. Detect when this happens and add the modifier to the mask. These menu items correctly had a Command key modifier when I tested the code on macOS 13.
2023-08-21MainMenu: Reorder Font menu fix functionsTeddy Wing
Do this so we don't have to bother with forward declarations.
2023-08-21MainMenu: Ideas for adding missing Command key equivalent modifierTeddy Wing
Check if the Command key is included in the modifier mask. If not, then add it.
2023-08-21MainMenu: Trying to debug lack of Apple modifiers in Font menuTeddy Wing
2023-08-20MainMenu: Try switching to `NSFontManager` -fontMenu:Teddy Wing
This creates the whole font menu for me, and the actions work correctly, very nice! Read about this in the `NSFontManager` documentation. The only hitch is that some menu items don't appear to have the proper keyEquivalents set. For example, "Show Colors", "Copy Style", and "Paste Style" are all missing the Apple key from the shortcuts.
2023-08-20MainMenu: Fix "Enter Full Screen" shortcutTeddy Wing
Turns out the problem was that I just didn't update the keyEquivalent after copy-pasting this paragraph. Now it works correctly. As for the tab bar menu items, it looks like those are inserted automatically in an Xcode-generated app, so it isn't strange that they're there.
2023-08-20MainMenu: Add Help menuTeddy Wing
2023-08-20MainMenu: Add Window menuTeddy Wing
2023-08-20MainMenu: Add View menuTeddy Wing
Create the View menu based on MainMenu.xib. Need to investigate this more, as some default menu items appeared even without me adding anything to this menu. My menu has "Show Tab Bar" and "Show All Tabs" even though I haven't added these. And it already had an "Enter Full Screen" menu item without any shortcut tied to it, which appears to override mine with a shortcut.
2023-08-20MainMenu: Add actions for most Format menu itemsTeddy Wing
Add the actions based on MainMenu.xib that target First Responder. The others require an NSFontManager, so I have to read up on what's required for that.
2023-08-20MainMenu: Add rest of the menu items to the Format menuTeddy Wing
Still need to set the actions on these menu items.
2023-08-17MainMenu: Add note for "Open Recent" menuTeddy Wing
2023-08-17MainMenu: Add Format>Font menuTeddy Wing
Don't have the actions yet, but this is the structure.
2023-08-17MainMenu: Return `NSMenuItem`s from functionsTeddy Wing
2023-08-17MainMenu: Trying to get Edit>Find menu items workingTeddy Wing
I learned about tags and that there are new names for the NSTextFinder identifiers starting in 10.7. But these still don't seem to be doing anything. But I tried adding an NSTextView to a window in a base Xcode project and the Find actions don't seem to work there either. So now that I have this, I'm thinking the rest of the problem lies elsewhere. Perhaps the NSTextView isn't connected enough to enable the Find actions.
2023-08-16MainMenu: Add notes for Edit menu fixesTeddy Wing
2023-08-16MainMenu: Add Edit menu itemsTeddy Wing
2023-08-15MainMenu: Add File menu itemsTeddy Wing
2023-08-15MainMenu: Add Services menu to Application menuTeddy Wing
2023-08-15MainMenu: Set "Quit" target to `NSApp`Teddy Wing
It seemed to work without this, but I figure it's better to be more explicit.
2023-08-15MainMenu: Make "Hide" and "Hide Others" menu items workTeddy Wing
2023-08-15MainMenu: Add application name to application menu itemsTeddy Wing
The About, Hide, and Quit menu items all include the application name in their titles.
2023-08-15MainMenu: Add Application menu itemsTeddy Wing
These don't work yet, but this is the default list in a Cocoa application created with Xcode.
2023-08-15MainMenu: Switch `about_menu_item` to non-local allocationTeddy Wing
Found out there's an `addItemWithTitle:action:keyEquivalent:` in `NSMenu` that allows us to skip allocating the menu item ourselves.
2023-08-15MainMenu.m: Add "About" menu itemTeddy Wing
2023-08-14MainMenu.m: Add structure for menusTeddy Wing
Add functions that will create the menus in the application.
2023-08-14Move main_menu.{h,m} to MainMenu.{h,m}Teddy Wing
Decided to use Core Foundation naming conventions here instead of C-style lowercase. It seems to fit better with the Objective-C code.
