Posted by Suraj Singh on May 14, 2017 · 22 mins read
hii readers,



                        In text Editors, (find / find_all / replace / replace_all) provides special facilities to handle big text data easily. with these features we can find and replace any words or line in text editor. And To make these features more easy to use, Shortcut Keys are best Choice. So, Today In this Post, I will show you only how to bind (find / find_all / replace / replace_all ) functions with keyboard in Tkinter Widget and in  the next tutorials, we will make its internal functions.


readers, THis Is our 8th Tutorial Of Python MagicStick Project But,  if you are a new visitor, Then I will suggest you to read our tutorials number wise. because in these tutorial series i am showing how to use python tkinter module to create a real life application.

Now, let's focus to our main topic.

To Create Binding For (find / find_all / replace / replace_all)  Functions, First we will create only functions for binding with keyboard because with these function, we can check binding functions and in our next tutorial, we will add internal coding in these functions for performing their operations.

To make this script easy to understand we will create a separate empty script "FindAndReplace.py" in "magicsticklibs/" folder and write our codes  in it.



Now, let's do some practical codings.

1. FindAndReplace.py

To Run These Script Codes alone, Just Change line 24 from

"from Graphics import Tkinter"

To  "import Tkinter"

Or

To Run This Codes as MagicStick Script. Don't Do Any Changes in this codes.


 Now, let's join this script in MagicStick Text Editor Project ( Follow Below Steps only, when you have not Connected this script with MagicScript Main Stream).

To Connect This Script With MagicStick project, we need to do only two steps.


1. first, Place This Script In Our "MagicStick/magicsticklibs" Project Directory.
2. Add Function Of This Script in Our "ConfigSettings.py".


Let me explain you these steps in more details.


Step 1.
 Place "FindAndReplace.py" In Our "MagicStick/magicsticklibs" Project Directory.



Then Our MagicStick Project Directory Structure will look like this.



MagicStick_Editor_Part_7
 |
 |---> About.txt  
 |
 |---> magicsticklibs
 |  |
 |  |---> __init__.py
 |  |     
 |  |---> Main.py
 |  |            
 |  |---> TextPad.py
 |  |
 |  |---> Graphics.py
 |  |
 |  |---> ConfigSettings.py 
 |  |
 |  |---> ScrollBar.py
 |  |
 |  |---> LineNumber.py
 |  |
 |  |---> StationeryFunctions.py
 |  |
 |  |---> PopupMenu.py
 |  |
 |  |---> FindAndReplace.py
 |
 |---> main.py


Step 2.
          Add "FindAndReplace.py" Function in Our "ConfigSettings.py" because in this project, "ConfigSettings.py" is responsible for joining libs in main stream.

 def modules_connections(self):
  LineMain(self.pad)
  Scrollbar(self.pad)
  StationeryFunctions(self.pad)
  Popup(self.pad)
  FindReplaceFunctions(self.pad)
  return


Boom! Our FindAndReplace.py script binding keys are now ready to test and also this script is now connected with MagicStick Project. To run this script in main stream of project. just run "main.py" script or you can also run this script alone and parallelled without touching project main stream just run "FindAndReplace.py".
