Sadly you only get one prefix per line. So you have to choose either DEL or S, not both.

(One common solution to this problem is to say DEL 10: SCRIPT 2 and then script 2 contains the S: [whatever].)

#254

yes that’s obviously one way to do it! however my point is, why sacrifice one $ for a line of simple command? :sweat_smile:

#255

Four months later I am loving J and K local variables! Thanks so much. :+1:

How do people feel about longer init scripts? :thinking:

The prefixes giveth and the prefixes taketh away.

EDIT oh my bad this is the feature request thread. Yeah, I mean… it would be cool but I presume the limit to be there in the first place because there’s a big jump in parser complexity otherwise? I dunno.

I just like to pop in here an add one little feature request to the teletype.

I would love there to be a way to recall all stored patterns without having to reload the preset. I discussed the idea while back with Scanner Darkly but thought I would put an official request on this thread.

What I tend to do is jump around patterns 1 and 2 and randomize sections of them to create new variations but it would be great to have some command that allows you to instantly bring back the stored patterns. It would really help to create a sort of song structure to my explorations. It would almost be like going to the chorus in a song or going back to an established Melody after doing a solo.

Just thought I’d add that to the list. Thanks for making the dopest module around and thanks for continually developing it!

I’m not sure how likely / difficult it would be to implement, but Just Type ops with the ability to address a second Just Friends (7-12) would be wonderful.

Would require some cooperation from @Galapagoose for JF firmware tweaks (need the ability to set a new I2C address) or the use of a multiplexer like this one.

I’ve been considering selling my second JF but i2c control over it would secure its place in my rack.

Lets summon @Galapagoose to see if it is possible and likely to happen.

I’d love to see this sometime, but it’s an awful lot of work to do it right, and it’s an incredibly narrow set of users. As such, yes one day I hope, but I can’t commit to when as I myself can’t imagine when I’ll have time.

@scanner_darkly - I’ve just updated to the latest A235649 build and the tilde is no longer bringing up the live mode variable display… is this an omission or has the key for this been changed to something else?

#264

strange, i used it with a firmware that is based on the one posted here and it worked fine. i’ll test this one later tonight. to confirm, there was no change.

#265

oh that would be a dream!

yes! if that day comes i’d be incredibly happy.

thanks to all!

#266

i tried reflashing the A235649 build (from both the hex and the zip) and the tilde works. are you using it with the keyboard that came with teletype? can you try with a different keyboard?

#267

It could be the keyboard. I’m using the same keyboard that worked with the 3.0 build, but it’s a programmable Preonic from OLKB, so there may be room for shonkyness.

If I connect that keyboard to my Mac, the key combination that I’m using to create a tilde presents on the Mac as [SHIFT + tilde] (didn’t even know that was a thing!) - although on both the Mac and the TT it does display a tilde in text. That seems a little odd on the TT, no? If the tilde should directly display the live variables, then it shouldn’t ever print a tilde on the screen?

I’ll see if I can make the keyboard say something tilde-like that’s more acceptable to this build of TT :slight_smile: (and try with the original TT keyboard, too).

#268

not sure where tilde came from actually but i think tilde is when you press with shift, the actual key is back apostrophe. try using the key without shift

#269

Fixed. On the off chance that someone else is having the exact same (very specific!) issue - i.e. the tilde sent from an OLKB Preonic keyboard is interpreted differently in the A235649 build than in 3.0 build and so no longer displays the live variables page, the fix is to re-flash the keyboard to use the KC_GRAVE key instead of the KC_TILDE key for the tilde.

so do you use shift with it?
it’s super strange it works for you with 3.0 but not this beta. that part of code wasn’t touched, the only change was a fix for vortex keyboards but that doesn’t change how keys are interpreted.

#271

It does seem pretty odd. As far as I can see here, it’s actually the grave accent symbol that’s displaying the live variables page - i.e. the other symbol on the key under the ESC key on the default keyboard that came with TT:

tilde

If I hit this key using the default keyboard, the live variables screen is toggled. If I hold SHIFT and hit this key, the screen displays a tilde.

My OLKB keyboard doesn’t have this key, so I’d configured the keyboard to use a key combo to generate a tilde. The key combo included a SHIFT - because the tilde is the shifted character on that key.

I’ve removed the SHIFT from that key combo (i.e. I’m sending a “`”) and all is working as it should.

What now seems strange to me is that it worked for me in the 3.0 build. :stuck_out_tongue:

yeah, what you describe makes sense, other than the fact it somehow worked with 3.0. tilde is when you press that key with shift. teletype displays tilde, as expected, when you do. so the correct key for live variable display should really be grave/back quote.

i see where the confusion with tilde comes from - ASF code actually names the key HID_TILDE, which is incorrect.
