Using Actions in CB: a discussion

Also, the user will be able to add actions that call user-defined scripts. That is, add functionality not known to C::B at compile-time.

Personally, I think that this is a very good idea. Actions would enable C::B to adpat itself to the different user's requirements and prefernces and therefore make its use easier and more pleasant.

I guess you know my comment: This is really amazing! :o
I don't know how it'll handle the logic separation of the bindings (toolbars, menus, etc) from the actions (idActionOpen, etc).
So, itsn't missing a BindingsManager counterpart? Or the handling of bindings would be done in another way?
Because I'm thinking that the actions would be the same, but doing a pluggable architecture, the user can add another bindings (a mouse gesture, vim-like command, voice recognition, etc) through plugins.
That would be even more flexible and powerful. :D
But I must say I'm surprised, Yiannis you're so fast! I though this would made in 2.0 or so being optimistic, but I was wrong :D

Does this mean a user/plugin could record the scintilla macros
(using the macro recorder) and add/delete them as individual actions
at the users whim?
Does this mean a set of macros could be loaded from an external
source (eg, {Ctrl+Enter}={END+ENTER+TAB+TAB}) and register each as an action?
Edit:
Will there be plugin fights over menu/taskbar items? Is arbitration needed?
Nothin' like a good plugin fight! :)
thanks

Yes, plugins will be able to register/unregister actions. Actually it will be the only way to add menu/toolbar items.

This is handled by the ActionsManager.
