Add VS Code clerk/show! file watcher hotkey instructions.

Thanks @mike706574 for helping me figure this out!

Hmm, looks like this info is also in https://github.com/nextjournal/clerk#editor-workflow so I'd need to update that too.

Hey @brettrowberry,

Thanks a for looking into this, been wanting to have this for a while. Do you think setting up a global shortcut for nextjournal.clerk/show! would also be reasonable? I use alt+enter in Emacs. I'm on the fence if we should include a shortcut for nextjournal.clerk/serve!, maybe leave that as an exercise for the reader?

the show! shortcut from updated book.clj does not work for me in windows, because $file contains escaped characters "C:\U...." that can not be read by the REPL
easiest fix would probably be on Calva's side by escaping the path
btw thx for your amazing work!

Ouch! That needs to be fixed in Calva. Please file an issue there!

Thanks for looking into this @PEZ, I've filed BetterThanTomorrow/calva#2184.

Thanks for the issue, @mk!

@blnote : Here's a build of Calva that should be escaping the file path backslashes. I don't have a Windows machine handy, can you give it a spin?

To install it you need to download the VSIX package to your machine (and rename it the extension to .vsix if it downloads as a .zip), then from the Extension pane in VS Code, select Install from VSIX... in the meatballs menu at the top of the pane.

This fix is now released, blindly, in Calva v2.0.358. All that is changed is that all \ in $file will be replaced with \\. So, it really should fix the issue...

Another thing. I'd like to mention a new feature in Calva, released with v2.0.356, that might, or might not, be relevant for Clerk notebooks workflow. It's a way to get code called when the file is loaded in the REPL (using Calva's command for Load File). The same substitutions as with the custom command snippets are available here. See: Calva: Auto-evaluate Code at file/namespace load/evaluation for details.

Hi Peter, I've sent u an email yesterday but didn't reply to the list, maybe it got lost. I tried it and the issue was fixed for me, so the simple replacement worked. Thanks again, Bastian Am 09.05.2023 um 11:25 schrieb Peter Strömberg:

I haven't used Clerk for a long time. Feel free to close or do whatever. Thanks!
