Comment on Copy and Copy JSON: essential Listener hacks. by Losgann

Trying your test results in this error message:

Generic word handle>> does not define a method for the POSTPONE: f class. Dispatching on object: f

I agree that it looks like set-clipboard-contents isn’t implemented in ui.backend.X11. In fact I searched for set-clipboard-contents in ui.backend and got hits for only windows.factor and cocoa.factor. At least now I know where to look to get this working. I’m somewhat of a newb, but I’m fearless and tenacious!

Looks like a bug in Factor’s X11 UI backend. Try running this in the listener:

USE: ui.clipboards "TEST STRING" f clipboard get copy-clipboard

See if that puts “TEST STRING” on the X11 clipboard. Looks like set-clipboard-contents isn’t implemented in ui.backends.x11.

This is a really useful tool. It works great in Windows 7. However, in Linux, although “Copy” and “Copy Json” show up in the context menu, when I select either one I get the error message:

Generic word set-clipboard-contents does not define a method for the x-clipboard class. Dispatching on object: T{ x-clipboard f 460 “” }

I’m using version 0.94 of Factor. Any ideas?

If the examples in other languages were split into functions as is yours, it’d look much less like esoteric junk. Well, at least in some of them ;) Great reading, thanks!

Small typo: the sum of (1 + (1 + 1) + 5) is 8, not 17.

Yeah, that’s the word I was looking for: bi@. Thanks!

:: length ( obj1 obj2 — ) obj1 length obj2 length ;

would be better written as

: length ( obj1 obj2 — ) [ length ] bi@ ;

Wow, Fred. Just wow. You need to teach your daughters to code so they can learn this stuff for you, then just tell you what cool new languages to peep. That’s my plan, at least.
