Xcode doesn't pass the keyFileSender parameter to any external
editors, not even BBEdit. Passing that parameter implies that Xcode
handles the responses, which it currently doesn't. So no, we don't
provide full ODB Suite support.
Ah, thanks for the info -- I read in the archive it used ODB Suite,
but it would seem then, that it doesn't use *anything* from the ODB
Suite, since the ODB Suite only defines the keyFileSender and events
to be sent *from* the external editor to the client, or did I overlook
something?
Xcode's external editor integration has nothing to do with the ODB
Suite. I added support for Xcode's interface to SubEthaEdit and
documented the interface [1].
(Xcode checks the status of open files any time it's brought to the
front, so it actually doesn't need to support most of the ODB Suite.
I think the only missing function is that we can't see that a file's
been renamed by an external editor.)
Nor that it is currently modified in the external editor?!?
Though how does Xcode signal the external editor that it should save
the document (before Xcode builds the project)?
See [1] for a clarification of the interface.
