I posted some livecoding rehearsal videos the other day. If you wonder how this
l.ndef("xa")
works: I wrote a little helper for my upcoming performance called LFC (after LiFeCode, dunno…).
LFC { classvar <>dict; *doesNotUnderstand {|selector, args| var doc = Document.current; var currentSelectionStart = doc.selectionStart; var currentSelectionEnd = currentSelectionStart + doc.selectionSize; doc.string = doc.string.insert( currentSelectionEnd, dict[selector].format(*args) ); doc.selectRange(currentSelectionStart, 0); ^"" } *keys { dict.keys.printAll; ^"" } }
I then have a dictionary in a file called modules.scd that looks like this:
( ndef: " ( Ndef('%', { }); ) ")
Evaluating these lines then adds the stuff you see in the vimeo:
LFC.dict = "%/modules.scd" .format(Document.current.dir).load; l = LFC;
Have fun!
