Stopped inputting text at v1.3.5

[shooftie]

All of a sudden the plugin stopped inserting the text...

No error logged in console...

Background to the input area lost it's dark background...

Reverted to 1.3.4 and it's working again...

Running ST2 on Windows 8...

Hi, what command did you try to use?

[shooftie]

[ctrl] + [alt] + n
foo bar
[enter]

Ah, just tried "\n" and noticed in the status bar, "No text found for InsertText, canceled"

[duydao]

Thanks for the quick reply! There was a change in 1.3.5:

text insert will only be executed if we have a list of three or more words in it.

So atm, the threshold of words required to execute/insert text is 3. This was changed for future commands to work properly (in the next version). If you want to insert two words, please use the words command:

words foo bar

• Background of input field will be restored in 1.3.6
• Option/Setting to change threshold to 2 in 1.3.6

[shooftie]

Great... works fine now... and you managed to answer my next question with your last...

Many thanks, Issue closed?

[duydao]

Yes, thanks for using Text Pastry!

I've just released 1.3.6, you can change the threshold by setting this in your TextPastry.sublime-settings file:

"insert_text_threshold": 3

Change this value to 2 to make "foo bar" work like in previous versions (without using the words command). You could even set it to 1 to restore the behaviour of Text Pastry to < 1.3.5

[shooftie]

You mentioned that "This was changed for future commands to work property (in the next version)"... So how would

"insert_text_threshold": 3

affect these new features?

[duydao]

To be honest, it shouldn't.

I've had the problem that TP couldn't distinct a command from a list of words, so if we would enter a command name (like uuid) and the command wasn't found, the string uuid was placed into the selection. Setting the threshold to 3 removed that problem, but 2 would've probably been enough.

I've further reduced the problem by using a lexer instead of a regular expression; so setting the threshold to 1 should be safe as well.

tl;dr: it shouldn't affect the new features in 1.4.0. As worst case, Text Pastry will put the text into our selections when the command was not found...
