No way to show Actions screen. #56

Open philburk opened 8 years ago

philburk commented 8 years ago

The actions screen used to be selected from a menu. But we do not have any HMSL specific menus at the moment.

We need to either add a way to select screens from the terminal or add some menus.

As a workaround, I added this to demo_action.fth

: DACT.PLAY ( -- ) midi.clear midi.parser.on default-screen @ action-screen default-screen ! \ SHOW ACTION-SCREEN HMSL ( no preposted morphs ) default-screen ! midi.parser.off ;

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Do you mean a mac menu bar sort of menu? I'm sure that's probably possible, somehow.

The original Mac HMSL had some menus. Some were for the integrated text editor on the Mac and are not worth implementing. But there were some HMSL specific menus that might be worth implementing. But this is a low priority.

DACT.PLAY and DEMO.ACTIONS both now hang and cause the CPU to spin.
