Editor Focus Mode sticky

1

I have just started using the cross platform Editor in place of previous EditorX.

One thing I noticed is if I launch the Editor in ‘Focus Mode’ using

tap editor –focus-mode

Editor does indeed start in focus mode. After doing this, if i run:

tap editor

It still launches in focus mode.

Is it intentional that focus mode is sticky when launched with and without the flag for focus mode?

If so, is there a way to launch it without ‘focus mode’ after launching it with?

I can use Alt+Shift+Enter or manually edit the Editor.xml to clear it but wondered if it could be cleared from the command line.

By the way, I think the cross platform Editor is Great!

Test plans load much faster than EditorX.

Thanks,

wittrock

Hi @wittrock,

Good to hear you like it.

A few changes would be required, but it would make sense to have the ability to explicitly say --focus-mode=false.

I have added an issue for opentap: Support nullable boolean in command line arguments and allow explicitly setting boolean values · Issue #2282 · opentap/opentap · GitHub
