TopEdit is a basic text editing tool for the Wii, developed by georgp24.
Features
- Graphic text display with black text on white background.
- Shows a virtual keyboard for using the editor with the Wiimote if no external keyboard is available.
- Supports an external USB keyboard.
- Supports line length up to 160 characters and scrolls horizontally.
- Shows a small menu when you press ESC or select the Menu key.
- Maximum file size: 2MB.
User guide
When you launch TopEdit, you can start typing and save your text in the current directory using the file name you specify. The default current directory is the one where the editor program is located, for example: apps\topedit.
Alternatively, you can also load an existing file by navigating through the directories from the menu, starting in the root directory. The directory where the loaded file is located becomes the current directory, and you can save it again with a different name. Note that when a file is saved, any linefeeds will be converted to CRLF line endings.
Additionally, control characters in the file will be displayed as blanks and may appear as such in other editors. To exit the editor, select the 'q' option from the menu.
Notes
All cursor movements and features of an editor which you use every day you take for granted. But when you write an editor yourself it takes a lot of time and testing implementing them.
The editor is written with SDL and the previous version of devkitpro. It uses libfat. The external keyboard is not read with SDL but with libusbkeyb.
Controls
Use either the virtual keyboard with the Wiimote or an external USB keyboard.
CursorKeys or Home/End - Navigate
Ctrl-Home/Ctrl-End - Move to the top/end of the file
Ctrl-CursorUp/Down or PageUp/PageDown - Scroll by one screen
Backspace/Delete - Erase characters
TABs - Expand to eight blanks
ESC or Menu - Call the menu to load and save files
