History & modal text editing

Cory McIlroy edited this page Aug 28, 2015 · 1 revision

Some brief notes of the process of creating and editing text layers with special consideration of the history system. A separate path is described for creating a text layer but then committing with no text, as well as creating a text layer that will replace the initial "placeholder" layer of a new document.

create text layer, but then abort

  • clicking canvas
  • event: createTextLayer
    • addLayer PUSH HIST STATE
  • ESC no text
  • event deleteTextLayer
    • removeLayer PUSH HIST STATE BUT THEN RESETS IT

normal path (works.. but I if we ever fix the abort-path, it could affect the WAY this works, in that history state should be added only after commit)

  • clicking canvas
  • event: createTextLayer
    • addLayer PUSH HIST STATE
  • type text then ESC
  • event: historyState
    • recognized as "current" and ignored
  • event: make
    • resetLayer AMEND HIST STATE

edit existing path (works almost great)

  • click text layer with text tool
  • update text, hit ESC
  • event: historyState
    • PUSH history state
  • event: set
    • resetLayer AMEND HISTORY STATE (except actually would be cooler to MARRY history instead of AMEND? this is a subtle difference, essentially works only if the pre is a rogue state?)

"First Layer Replace"

  • normal (works same as above)
  • w/ abort (hacky in a similar way - it UPDATES the document)
