findAdjacentUneditableBranchNode(direction) → {Node|null} #

Find a ce=false branch node that a native cursor movement from here might skip

If a node is returned, then it might get skipped by a single native cursor movement in the specified direction from the closest branch node at the current cursor focus. However, if null is returned, then any single such movement is guaranteed not to skip an uneditable branch node.

Note we cannot predict precisely where/with which cursor key we might step out of the current closest branch node, because it is difficult to predict the behaviour of left/rightarrow (because of bidi visual cursoring) and up/downarrow (because of wrapping).

setNotUnicorningAll(node) #

Ensure that no node has a unicorn.

If the given node currently has the unicorn, it will be released and no rerender will happen. If another node has the unicorn, that node will be rerendered to get rid of the unicorn.

Parameters:

Name Type Description
node ve.ce.ContentBranchNode

The node releasing the unicorn
Source:
Ensure that no node has a unicorn.

setReadOnly(readOnly) #

Set the read-only state of the surface

Parameters:

Name Type Description
readOnly boolean

Make surface read-only
Source:
Set the read-only state of the surface

setReviewMode(reviewMode, highlightNodes) #

Set the review mode state of the surface

In review mode the surface can't be interacted with by the user (unlike the read-only mode where the user can select text and inspect nodes).

Review mode does not restrict changes to the model by other means, so programmatic changes can still be made from other tools.

Parameters:

Name Type Description
reviewMode boolean

Set surface to review mode
highlightNodes Array.<ve.ce.Node>

Nodes to highlight while in review mode
Source:

Set the review mode state of the surface

In review mode the surface can't be interacted with by the user (unlike the read-only mode where the user can select text and inspect nodes).

setUnicorning(node) #

Set the node that has the current unicorn.

If another node currently has a unicorn, it will be rerendered, which will cause it to release its unicorn.

Parameters:

Name Type Description
node ve.ce.ContentBranchNode | null

The node claiming the unicorn, null to release (by rerendering) without claiming
Source:
Set the node that has the current unicorn.

showModelSelection([force]) → {boolean} #

Apply a DM selection to the DOM

Parameters:

Name Type Attributes Description
force boolean optional

Replace the DOM selection if it is different but DM-equivalent
Source:

Returns:

Whether the selection actually changed

Type
boolean
Apply a DM selection to the DOM

showSelectionState(selection) → {boolean} #

Apply a selection state to the DOM

If the browser cannot show a backward selection, fall back to the forward equivalent

Parameters:

Name Type Description
selection ve.SelectionState

The selection state to show
Source:

Returns:

Whether the selection actually changed

Type
boolean

Apply a selection state to the DOM

If the browser cannot show a backward selection, fall back to the forward equivalent

storeKeyDownState(e) #

Store a state snapshot at a keydown event, to be used in an after-keydown handler

A ve.SelectionState object is stored, but only when the key event is a cursor key. (It would be misleading to save selection properties for key events where the DOM might get modified, because anchorNode/focusNode are live and mutable, and so the offsets may come to point confusingly to different places than they did when the selection was saved).

Parameters:

Name Type Description
e jQuery.Event | null

Key down event; must be active when this call is made
Source:

Store a state snapshot at a keydown event, to be used in an after-keydown handler

A ve.SelectionState object is stored, but only when the key event is a cursor key.

updateActiveAnnotations([fromModelOrNode]) #

Update the activeAnnotations property and apply CSS classes accordingly

An active annotation is one containing the DOM cursor, which may not be well defined at annotation boundaries, except for links which use nails.

Also the order of .activeAnnotations may not be well defined.

Parameters:

Name Type Attributes Description
fromModelOrNode boolean | Node optional

If true, gather annotations from the model, instead of the cusor focus point. If a Node is passed, gather annotations from that node.
Source:

Fires:

An active annotation is one containing the DOM cursor, which may not be well defined at annotation boundaries, except for links which use nails.

updateCursorHolderAfter() #

Insert cursor holder between selection focus and preceding ce=false node, if required as a cursor target

Source:
Insert cursor holder between selection focus and preceding ce=false node, if required as a cursor target

updateCursorHolderBefore() #

Insert cursor holder between selection focus and subsequent ce=false node, if required as a cursor target

Source:
Insert cursor holder between selection focus and subsequent ce=false node, if required as a cursor target

updateCursorHolders() #

Insert cursor holders, if they might be required as a cursor target

Source:
Insert cursor holders, if they might be required as a cursor target

Events

activation() #

Surface activation state has changed (i.e. on activate or deactivate)

Source:
Surface activation state has changed (i.e.

blur() #

Note that it's possible for a focus event to occur immediately after a blur event, if the focus moves to or from a FocusableNode. In this case the surface doesn't lose focus conceptually, but a pair of blur-focus events is emitted anyway.

focus() #

Note that it's possible for a focus event to occur immediately after a blur event, if the focus moves to or from a FocusableNode. In this case the surface doesn't lose focus conceptually, but a pair of blur-focus events is emitted anyway.

keyup() #

Parameters:

Name Type Attributes Description
wasSynchronizing boolean optional

The surface was positioned due to synchronization (ve.dm.SurfaceSynchronizer)
Source:

When the surface or its contents changes position (only after initialize has already been called).
