Expose API for programmatic PageUp/PageDown

[jmak35]

I've got some menu items set as accelerators and would like to set their actions on the CodeArea. Below are the methods I need, with bold indicating that there is no corresponding method within CodeArea. I would've thought that the NavigationActions class would defined this. Why are they all in the StyledTextAreaBehavior class that cannot be accessed in CodeArea?

• cut
• copy
• paste
• redo
• home
• ctrl+home
• end
• ctrl_end
• page up
• page down
• shift+arrow
• shift+ctrl+arrow

These are mostly all navigation actions. Could you please expose them in CodeArea?

Thanks.

Hi,

some of them are available in NavigationActions:

• home - lineStart
• ctrl+home - start
• end - lineEnd
• ctrl_end - end
• shift+arrow - nextChar, previousChar
• shift+ctrl+arrow - nextWord, previousWord

Others cannot be implemented with the current distinction between the control and its skin, since the control does not know how the text is displayed, so the control itself does not know where to put the caret on PageUp or Shift+Up.

Though there's not yet a release for this yet, the skin has now been fully removed in 3f00de3. So, you should be able to implement these on top of RichTextFX or contribute to the project by adding them directly to StyledTextAreaBehavior.

So, is this issue only about "page up/down" being implemented now? If so, the title should be updated.

Thanks, I updated the title. Now that there is no skin (StyledTextArea itself is the view), this can be implemented.
