Usage

Basic

• Now that you have installed this plugin it's time to use it!
• By default the output is written into clippy_2.org in your config files
  • Basically the same place as where your user.json and main.json is

Customization

• In your config directory create a python file:
  • clippy_2_cfg.py
• Custom code in this section should be written into this file

1. Initialization

   • Below are some states that can be set by the user
     • Note that these are the defaults

   def initPost(obj, clippy):
       clippy.state.output_file_name = "clippy_2.org"
       clippy.state.efficiency_symbol = "*"
       clippy.state.max_pad_efficiency = 5
       clippy.state.max_pad_english = 15
           clippy.state.last_num_translations = 10

   • output_file_name: name of the output file, directory location will default to config directory
   • efficiency_symbol: any one character symbol used to denote how many strokes can be saved
   • max_pad_efficiency: the maximum number of efficiency symbols that are allowed to be displayed
   • max_pad_english: the maximum amount of space padding for English translations
   • last_num_translations: these number of translations are used to give suggestions
   • note: initPost executes after this plugin initializes itself

2. Suggestion styles

   • Below are some suggestion styles
     • the default style `org.defaultSuggest` is uncommented

   def onTranslateSuggest(obj, clippy):
       clippy.formatting.org.defaultSuggest(obj, clippy)
       # clippy.formatting.minimalSuggest(obj, clippy)
       # clippy.formatting.retro.suggest(obj, clippy)
       # clippy.formatting.org.debugSuggest(obj, clippy)
       # clippy.formatting.org.minimalSuggest(obj, clippy)

   • note: onTranslateSuggest gets called when suggestions are available
   • feel free to make your own suggestion styles (see formatting/org.py for coded examples)
     • note that `self` refers to different things, for example, in formatting/org.py fit is equivalent to `clippy.formatting.org`
   • org.defaultSuggest:

   *     you are         *UR, R*U < KPWR/-R
   

   • minimalSuggest:

   you are         *UR, R*U
   

   • retro.suggest: same as the original plugin

   [2022-02-09 22:29:47] you are         || KPWR/-R -> *UR, R*U
   

   • org.debugSuggest: same as org.defaultSuggest, but nice for figuring out which suggestion source the suggestion came from

   *     you are         *UR, R*U < KPWR/-R  # Retro
   

   • org.minimalSuggest: minimal required for org syntax highlighting

   *     you are         *UR, R*U
   

3. Suggestion sources

   • The suggestions come from different sources, and you can choose which sources to include!!!
     • Listed below are the defaults

   clippy.translations.sources.set("Undo", "FingerSpelling", "Retro", "Tkfps")

   • see Suggestion Sources for a more information on what each source does
   • see Sources for other methods like "append" and "prepend"

4. distillation sources

   • TODO

File viewing

• well obviously you can open up the file and take a look, but what if you want to have a live view while training?

Terminal

• here are some live commands for different platforms

1. Windows

   Get-Content clippy_2.org -Wait -Tail 30

2. Linux

   tail -f clippy_2.org

3. WSL

   Note that on WSL, the flag `—disable-inotify` may be required to make `tail` work

   tail -f ---disable-inotify clippy_2.org

Plover-live-view-nvim (neovim only)

• This plugin is a live viewer which supports:
  • Splits - You can split both horizontally and vertically and customize the sizes of the splits
  • Terminal viewing (requires harpoon)
  • Buffer viewing (requires autoread-nvim)
    • The benefit of this over the terminal is that you can use custom syntax highlighting!

vim-autoread (vim only [no nvim])

• This plugin is a live viewer for buffer viewing
