Open File Mode

A Textadept module that extends the editor's ui.command_entry with a mode that can open files relative to the current file or directory. Tab-completion is available.

This is an alternative to Textadept's default File Open dialog.

Install this module by copying it into your ~/.textadept/modules/ directory or Textadept's modules/ directory, and then putting the following in your ~/.textadept/init.lua:

keys['alt+o'] = require('open_file_mode')

Replace "alt+o" with the key you want to bind the function to. You can also create a menu item with that function.

Functions defined by ui.command_entry.open_file

_G.ui.command_entry.open_file()

Opens the command entry in a mode that can open files relative to the current file or directory. Tab-completion is available, and on Windows, Cygwin-style '/c/' root directories are supported. If no file is ultimately specified, the user is prompted with Textadept's default File Open dialog.
