Keyboard
- Alt + F8: run a script
Using
New scripts can be created using the script editor, available from the menu Tools > Script Editor. Alternatively, you can plainly create an attribute whose name starts with "script" such as "script2"; such an attribute is understood by FreeMind to be a script.
To run a script, use the menu Tools > Evaluate or press Alt + F8. Alternatively, you can run a script from the script editor, using its menu Actions > Run. The Run function of the script editor shows the results of the execution in the pane at the bottom, and it shows error messages there, if any.
Implementation
Scripts are stored in an attribute whose name reads "script" followed with a numeral, meaning in the attribute of the attribute function, not in the attribute of XML.
The script attributes are probably distinguished from non-script attributes by their starting with "script".
An example of storage in XML:
<node TEXT="hello"> <attribute NAME="script1" VALUE="=node.getNodeLevel() + " " + node.getText()"/> </node>
