How about something that takes the current caret position in the source editor, the clipboard context, and inserts as a Pascal quoted string that wraps with + at the end of line, and appropriate system defined line break characters? The command for this would be in the menu as "Edit -> Paste as St

Thanks for the link, but that's not at all the same. That's is just a mobile version of a desktop application. What I was attempting to describe is a tablet application that provides a specialized input view to a desktop application using an android tablet. A tablet application that provides a ada

wkitty42, Yes, I want to use a tablet as a digitizer for a desktop computer, but with a modification. I want the tablet to be able to have easy access to specific commands for programs, such as change brush shape, size, color, change the active tool, and change options for the active tool. The des

DougC, This program would essentially give people who use Krita, Gimp, Inkscape and other desktop applications the ability to turn any android device into a drawing tablet for those programs. It would also differ from a digitizer in that the service application can be designed to provide an dynami

Bo, Buliding Lazarus pushes the limits of the hardware and default settings for Raspbian. The 1GB of RAM on the Pi is often not sufficient to build Lazarus. Typically you need to create modify the swap to be 512MB or 1GB. I recommend 1GB. -- ___ lazarus
