I would like to add an entry to my .Xdefaults to change the translations
for all of the text widgets in a specific application. Is there an easy
way of doing this. Currently I have setup a #define with the translations
that I want. I apply that definition to each text widget. I would like
to enter one line and have it affect all of the text widgets for this
application.
cem*messageText.translations: #override\
Ctrl<Key>f: forward-character()\n\
Ctrl<Key>b: backward-character()\n\
Meta<Key>f: forward-word()\n\
etc...
This is the way that I have been doing it. I would like to do something like:
cem*text.translations: etc..
, and have all of the text widgets get these translations.
Is the only way to do this to name all of my text widgets the same thing,
say "text", and then make sure that no two have the same container hierarchy?
Currently I name my widgets by what they are like messageText, above. I
have not been able to wildcard with a widget name, so I can't have all of
my text widgets end in Text and then match for there names with somthing like:
cem*Text.translation: etc...
I have also tried:
cem*textTranslations: etc...
,and:
*textTranslations: etc...
Thanks,
Sam

I use something like:
cem*XmText*translations: etc..
cem*XmTextField*translations: etc..

Hope this works for you, I haven't tried this exact resource, but have specified resources for classes using Xm<Class> to specify the class. -- Gordon Freedman: gjf00@duts.ccc.amdahl.com Disclaimer: My opinions!

Is there an easy Dont' do it in .Xdefaults, please. Use application-class resource files. Dumping resources into .Xdefaults is one of the worst habbits in X-world. >way of doing this.
