Spacebar does not activate Ginga's meta mode anymore about ipyevents HOT 14 CLOSED

That is never incorrect, though in some cases it is unnecessary. In notebook v5.3 (or maybe 5.4) they introduced a directory-based scheme for installing notebook extensions that made it possible to install them via setup.py. ipyevents is set up to do that now so it shouldn't (in the future) require any extra steps.

The situation in jupyterlab is a little better because they decided to make all extensions npm packages and to use node/npm to handle the extension installation (instead of iterating through a couple years of custom installation approaches like with notebooks).

Actually, this might be more serious than what I posted above. I think all keyboard key bindings for Ginga viewer are gone. I cannot use numeric keys to change zoom either.

Can you open the browser javascript console to see if there are any errors showing up there when you type into the widget?

I couldn't figure out how to save the log into plain text, so here is a screenshot.

Actually, when I pip install ipyevents==0.4.0 into my conda environment, I get this same problem too! But it works when I do a conda install ipyevents. 😕

$ jupyter nbextension list
      - Validating: ok
      - Validating: ok
Known nbextensions:
  config dir: C:\...\Miniconda3\envs\py37\etc\jupyter\nbconfig
    notebook section
      ipyevents/extension enabled
      jupyter-js-widgets/extension enabled

Then I conda uninstall ipyevents followed by pip install ipyevents to pick up 0.4.1 (again). But jupyter nbextension install --sys-prefix ipyevents fails.

My bad, I left out a an option:

jupyter nbextension install --py --sys-prefix ipyevents

I don't think that will fix it though, since the ipyevents extension is already listed as installed and enabled.

Does the demo notebook for ipyevents work for you?

from ipyevents.

I think jupyter nbextension install --py --sys-prefix ipyevents fixed it. For lab, I also ran jupyter labextension install ipyevents. Now it works. Magic. Thanks!

Seems like I've seen two or three different incantations for the jupyter nbextension install command now (over the years), and it is a little difficult to remember which one is correct. @pllim, maybe we should double check that we have an up-to-date note somewhere in the ginga install docs that if you want to use the jupyterw version this is what you have to do.

from ipyevents.

The instructions in ginga/examples/jupyter-notebook/Jupyter Widget Ideas.ipynb said:

$ pip install ipyevents
$ jupyter nbextension enable --py --sys-prefix ipyevents

Is that still correct, @mwcraig ?

from ipyevents.

OK, I'll just leave it be for now then. Thanks for the clarifications!

Thanks, @mwcraig !
