Its a tiny example of a configuration system for AEditor,
where you can have different modes, for instance:
define a ruby mode, where certain key gets bound with
RI, rdoc. Where syntax hiliting gets configured.
Much inspired by Rake.

An example dotfile for AEditor:
server> expand -t2 dotfile.rb 
# AEditor preferences for Simon Strandgaard
mode :global do
  tabsize 4
  #panel_format {|i| "#{i.y},#{i.xcell}-#{i.xchar}"}
end

mode :ruby => :global do
  tabsize 2
  #on_execute_project {|i| "ruby -v main.rb"}
  #on_execute_buffer {|i| "ruby -v #{i.filename}"} # record errors, so we can jump to them
  #on_execute_tests "ruby test_all.rb"
  #on_execute_builddoc {|i| "rdoc #{i.filename}"}
  #on_help_context { |place| "ri place" }
  #on_debug_step "gdb"
  #mode_selftest do
    # check that ruby is working
    # check rdoc is present
    # check ri is prsent
  #end
end
file_suffix %w(rb rbx) => :ruby

mode :rake => :ruby do
  # TODO: extract tasks, rules, files.. show choices
  #on_execute_buffer {|i| dialog('all', 'run', 'upload', 'validate')}
end
file_match %w(rakefile rakefile.rb) => :ruby

mode :c => :global do
end
file_suffix 'c' => :c

mode :cpp => :c do
end
file_suffix %w(cpp cc) => :cpp

mode :xml => :global do
  #on_execute_buffer {|i| "xsltproc --validate #{i.filename}"} 
end
file_suffix %w(xml xhtml) => :xml

theme :morning do
end

theme :night do
end

The code for parsing it located here
http://rubyforge.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/cgi/viewcvs.cgi/projects/experimental/preferences/?cvsroot=aeditor


Its a proof of concept.. Any suggestions?
How would you like preferences to be ?
