Enumerate Serial Ports? #2

Open jsnyder opened 12 years ago

jsnyder commented 12 years ago

This is more of a feature suggestion than a bug report. It would be nice if we could at least enumerate serial ports under a menu rather than requiring use of the properties file (or perhaps in addition to it?)

What might be neat would be to implement some of this type of functionality in Lua so that it could be customized in the language that is native to the IDE. One of the things that I found appealing about TextAdapt (aside from the rather minimal UI) was that much of it was written in Lua and therefore customizable without needing to recompile.

This is a great idea. I had thought about adding a command similar among the "tools"... I like the idea of ​​using lua (of course you know that you can run "lua" code inside Scite/Goat) + IUP http://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/iup/, but first I must write some help for Goat. Also there are many things you can do without recompiling Goat, just using the properties files... Thanks, Nuccio

First step is done. From now you can easily run LUA scripts, let's move on... (I have included two sample scripts, Ctrl+l to obtain list )
