It would be more accurate in some ways than a generic handwriting recognition tool, because it can use syntax rules as hints for what you actually want to write, as well as apply them to auto-indent to the number of spaces you intended (with manual override options of course)
I've updated the "Education and Certification" page of the Copyeditors' Knowledge Base (#CKB)—specifically, the entry for #book#editor and #writing#coach@tanyagold. If you're ready to learn more about your craft, editors, that's the page for you. http://tinyurl.com/ymxa3me6
I'm a #writer and #editor fueled daily by #coffee and #music. I love curling up with a good #book. I also love taking #photos (though these days, I haven't been picking up my camera as often as I should).
I also manage Pushpins, a #GIS consulting biz, with my husband, and boy, it's not a walk in the park. But I do my best to take on the challenges and see what new things I can learn.
How much do podcast producer/editors charge these days? I have a couple of projects in mind, of varying length (for example, 3 episodes and 25 episodes, vs. something ongoing), so just trying to get a baseline 🎙️
...speaking of #innovation, #a11y and editors, how could I forget to mention @niklaskorz's and @ArturHD's work on the #puredit code editor, which has been the result of their paper "Virtual Domain Specific Languages via Embedded Projectional Editing"!?
I got this in an email, and just thought I would pass it along for those that might be interested. GoldWave Turns 30! GoldWave Licenses are on sale for a limited time!

GoldWave Infinity Updated
The latest update for GoldWave Infinity is now available. GoldWave Infinity includes most of the same features as the Windows version of GoldWave, but works on Android, iOS, MacOS, Linux, Windows, and ChromOS.
When using the Chrome browser on desktop computers (MacOS, Linux, Windows), you can now import folders to work with files directly instead of importing and exporting them! For other devices, there is faster exporting and sharing of files.
We've also added support for opening more file types and improved accessibility.
Throwback to April, when we released my first short, starring the incredible Brittany Gallasch and Danny Chase, with cinematography by Sam Morgan Moore and written by Rebecca Leigh Four festival placements so far, aiming for more next year as this baby is getting reedited soon!
Wenn du noch nicht viel über die Themen weißt oder noch unschlüssig bist, solltest du dir das mal anhören - gibt einen guten Überblick über diese ziemlich ausgereiften Powertools.
I’ve maintained a branch of the old micro-emacs (not GNU emacs) for decades. And by “maintained” I really mean “mostly kept working”. It’s a scrappy little editor from the eighties(!) and the “s” in scrappy is silent.
The version I have grown accustomed to isn’t even the most recent version of microemacs, it’s a offshoot from uemacs 3.9 that was maintained by Petri Kutvonen at Helsinki University because it was portable and supported DOS, VAX/VMS and Unix.
Over the decades, I’ve “enhached” that thing to actually mostly understand UTF-8, and increased some internal limits, but it’s mostly the same thing that I used in the early nineties.
Anyway.
I don’t love the fact that it’s a very limited text editor. I’d like syntax highlighting etc. But my fingers are absolutely hardcoded to it, and I am not in the least interested in something that makes me switch away from those (much less start using a mouse to move around etc).
Which is just a very long way to say: “Does anybody know of some slightly more modern GUI editor that actually has good support for really changing keybindings”.
And I mean really configurable. As in “I can make ESC-J auto-justify text, and ESC-Z be ‘exit-and-save, and ^X^C will exit without saving”. Not some half-way state where “sure, you can make ^X exit, but no, you can’t make ^X or ESC act as Alt / Meta keys for other keys?
And yes, I know one answer is “teach your fingers new ways”. But my micro-emacs works just fine, and so it really isn’t worth it to me.
And please - don’t even bother replying with “Xyz is a great editor” unless you know and can show exactly how to rebind a key sequence like that ^X^C. I don’t use nearly all the uemacs keybindings, but I use an odd set of them.
I’d rather maintain just a keybinding file than a whole scrappy editor.
Edit: clearly I should have specified that I’m not interested in yet another “runs in a terminal” editor, or some even older editor (ie “real” emacs, or vim) that just has had more lipstick applied over the years.
Bump: Two GUI editors come to mind: Tea and Geany.
I think TEA is about as close to your wish as you are going to get. TEA will likely do 95% of your wishes except exit+save and ESC key in sequences. It is hackable and readable Qt/C++ so you can patch and push with ease.
"TEA is a C++, Qt(4,5,6) text editor with the hundreds of features for Linux, *BSD, Mac, Windows, OS/2 and Haiku."
TEA text editor has endless configuration options including all the key mappings that allows custom setting of everything in the KEYBOARD tab as shown in the screenshot. Please note that the quirky monspace font is not the default TEA setting but from my own custom QT settings. You can apply any font you wish to the interface.
If you want to modify hotkeys via source code you would use Qt::QAction in tea.cpp in the repo. I'm not a Qt/C++ programmer but the source syntax is obvious and I have hacked other Qt interfaces to my liking with no problems.
One rough edge I found is that if the application is already open, passing a file via command line will not open it. I could not find any other UX bugs in it.
