12:54 AM pinder[m]: repeated pressing was required
12:54 AM pinder[m]: happy those days are gone
01:02 AM Joco[m]: Yeah. Don’t want to break that.
01:03 AM Joco[m]: Might need to look at touch events instead.
01:06 AM pinder[m]: what you are trying to sove here?
01:07 AM pinder[m]: accidental touches?
01:07 AM pinder[m]: * what you are trying to solve here?

08:11 AM hazzy-m: Joco: The colors are defined in the syntax YAML file
08:11 AM * hazzy-m sent a long message: < https://matrix.org/_matrix/media/r0/download/matrix.org/VPOmLSuFCsIPPXfvizLAVQjE/message.txt >
08:12 AM hazzy-m: this YAML file really should be part of the main config structure, so it can be overridden by VCPs
08:14 AM hazzy-m: the textFormat options can be any of the QTextCharFormat functions
08:15 AM hazzy-m: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtextcharformat.html
08:15 AM hazzy-m: fontWeight in the above example will be set to QFont.Bold
08:17 AM hazzy-m: I decided not to support QSS for syntax styling since it did not have the flexibility needed
08:25 AM pinder[m]: hazzy: I need some guide video for qtpyvcp.
08:25 AM pinder[m]: linking stuff is still a problem
08:25 AM pinder[m]: like linking buttons

03:10 PM Joco[m]: JT-Shop: nice - looking forward to that already.
03:11 PM Joco[m]: hazzy: re the yaml file for syntax highlighting/colouring. So is there no way yet for a VCP to apply custom colours?

06:13 PM TurBoss: nice !
06:21 PM TurBoss: I have tried linuxcnc on the raspberry pi4
06:22 PM TurBoss: it gives me high latency excursions
07:01 PM TurBoss: oh figured
07:01 PM TurBoss: its the power adaptor
07:02 PM TurBoss: as soon the power icon is shown the excursions go higher
07:08 PM TurBoss: hey just found a set of pyqt examples for any one interested
07:08 PM TurBoss: https://github.com/pyqt/examples
