Editing Pages

Editing pages is possible. The main Teefax service is locked but others like WTF are not.

This is how it works. Key names are given in bold like esc for the escape key.

Special keys

esc - Press once to enter edit mode. Press twice to exit. While in edit mode you can use most edit.tf commands such as escr to select alpha red. The colour of the top left page number indicates the state. White is the normal viewing state. Yellow is edit mode where you can edit the page. When green it is expecting an edit.tf escape code.

page up - Select the next subpage if there is one.

page down - Select the previous subpage if there is one.

QWASZX If the cursor is in a graphics location then you can use these keys to twiddle mosaic pixels.

Enabling page editing

Page editing is enabled at the server end. This means the person running the web server has to do it. My own machine has the code at /home/pi/teefax/muttlee/public/sketch.js. Look for "wtf" and add your own service name in there.

Warning

Be aware that all of your edits are immediately public. Anyone watching the same page on another client will see your keystrokes as you make them. There is no save button. The server will autosave your work.
