Background:
It seems that some text editors and IDEs are starting to get more "browsers" in their functions. In particular, one of these functions is the ability to process plain text in an open text buffer as a hyperlink to another file, resource, or even an executable command.
Programming this as an editor or macro plugin
Since this seems like a good idea, I started programming some scripts and add-ons for editing, to make it very similar so that the user of the text editor could open or use links of the following style:
href="c:/files/foobar.txt" (click to open file)
href="c:/files/foobar.txt" jumpto="34" (jump to a line number)
href="c:/files/foobar.txt" find="Lorem" (jump to 1st line containing word)
href="find_in_files://c:/files" find="Lorem" (show all matching lines)
[[find_in_files://find=Lorem;exten=*.htm*]] (alternate syntax option)
href="redir://c:/files/feebar.txt" (replace current edit buffer)
href="run://c:/files/foobar.jpg" (open in default image editor)
[[run://c:/files/foobar.jpg;runwith=foo.exe]] (alternate syntax option)
Questions:
- Is there any new agreement for generating text-based hyperlinks?
- , ?
- /IDE?
- , ?
- "grand-daddy"? (Vim, Emacs)
