Dear all,
there's a new bundle called "Unicode" in the review trunk. It is meant to be a place where we can gather any kind of scripts, commands, etc. which are related to general Unicode issue, meaning non-ASCII. This should also a place where we can gather scripts related to specific languages like Japanese, Chinese, Greek etc. This bundle is the first stage. How do we separate this bundle is a future task.
Thus, if there is someone who already has such scripts or is willing to support, please let us/me know.
Up to now there are the following stuff in:
- Normalize according canonical (de)composition of accented characters
- Delete Diacritics: façadë έ だ => facade ε た
- Convert to a similar Unicode Character: type the letter 'c' to get a
list of "cçćĉċčƈ¢ɕʗḉ⒞ⓒｃ￠"
- Convert to Greek Character: type 'n' to get "ν"
- Show Unicode Name: select some letters to get a list of the Unicode
names like LATIN SMALL LETTER A
I have many other scripts, but I need some time to polish them up.
To get this bundle, simply use the Subversion Bundle's checkout
http://macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk/Review/Bundles/Unicode.tmbundle
save this to the Desktop or whatever.
I know, to deal with non-ASCII scripts in TM 1.x is a bit tricky, but TM 2.0 will come ;)
One small note:
In the character name script you should probably call unicodedata.name() with a second argument in case the character has no name, i.e. replace
res = a + " : " + unicodedata.name(a)
with
res = a + " : " + unicodedata.name(a, "U+%04X" % ord(a))
Furthermore it would be great if this script could display all information there is in the Python Unicode database, i.e. stuff like
unicodedata.category() unicodedata.bidrectional() unicodedata.decimal()
etc.
