*.vtmx Support

The application layout is described by a hierarchical xml-like structure stored as plain text in the app.vtmx file with a shebang. This is in the spirit of *.html markup, only we have our own tags and Lua is used instead of JavaScript.

It should be like:

  • app1.vtmx:

    #!/bin/vtm
<vtmx>
    <config>
      ...
    </config>
    <body id="App_1" title="Application Title" footer="vtmx-application">
        <fork axis="vt">
            <slot1>
                <item="Application Title"/>
            </slot1>
            <slot2>
                <fork axis="hz">
                    <slot1>
                        <item="Left side."/>
                    </slot1>
                    <slot2>
                        <list>
                            <item="Right side:"/>
                            <item="Hello!"/>
                            <item="World!"/>
                            <item="Click me to exit." id="label_1">
                                <onclick script="App_1.exit();"/>
                                <onhover script="is_active=gear.is_active(); label_1.underline(is_active); label_1.invert(is_active);"/>
                            </item>
                        </list>
                    </slot2>
                </fork>
            </slot2>
        </fork>
    </body>
    <events>
        <App_1 key*>
            <key="Esc" script="vtm.exit()"/>
        </App_1>
    </events>
</vtmx>

I love this idea! This would be the most useful feature for me. I am often looking for a way to quickly get a bunch of tools up for a work load (currently using one laptop for both fun and profit, so I'm switching between things often). This would allow me and my ADHD to not get distracted as much when switching contexts and be able to get into the flow. 😎
