front end - how to get the Messages Tab back in version 11.1 Edit->Preferences?


On windows 7, version 11.1, when doing edit->Preferences, no longer has the very nice messages tab there any more. I searched but so far, not able to find this tab.


So can't change where my Print output go to easily as before, and change other similar settings.


Is it possible to get this tab back? If not, is there other easy way to make same changes? I really do not want to go through advanced setting and go search option inspector and edit things each time I want to make such changes, since I used to change these settings all the time.

Answer



I don't know why but:



[...] Unfortunately removing the Evaluation and Messages tabs in Mathematica 11.1 Preferences is by design. However those settings can be found in our Option Inspector: [...]



Here is an official documentation about that issue:




You can use old preferences dialog but I can't guarantee everything will be fine:


Module[{relPath, newPath, oldVersion = "11.0"}

  , relPath = Sequence[
        "SystemFiles", "FrontEnd", "SystemResources", "Preferences.nb"
    ]

  ; newPath = FileNameJoin[{$UserBaseDirectory, relPath}]

  ; If[
        Not @ DirectoryQ @ #
      , CreateDirectory[#, CreateIntermediateDirectories -> True]
    ] & @ DirectoryName @ newPath


  ; CopyFile[
        FileNameJoin[{FileNameDrop @ $InstallationDirectory, oldVersion, relPath}]
      , newPath
    ]

]

It copies old dialog to the latest $UserBaseDirectory so you don't need to do backup. Just go and delete newPath file if anything is wrong.




Another way is to play with those options programmatically:


CurrentValue[$FrontEnd, PrintAction]


"PrintToConsole"

Options[$FrontEnd, MessageOptions]


{MessageOptions -> {"AllowDisablingWarnings" -> True, 

   "CodeCaptionWarning" -> True, "CompatibilityToolWarning" -> True, 
   "ConsoleMessageAction" -> "PrintToConsole", 
   "ErrorAction" -> "PrintToConsole", "ExplainBeepHelp" -> False, 
   "IgnoreTagBoxDeletionWarning" -> True, 
   "InsufficientVersionWarning" -> True, 
   "KernelMessageAction" -> "PrintToConsole", 
   "MathMLPasteWarning" -> True, "MaxMessageCount" -> 3, 
   "MessageCountResetTime" -> 2., "TeXPasteWarning" -> True, 
   "TraditionalFormEvaluationWarning" -> True, 
   "UseVersionedStylesheetWarning" -> True, 

   "WarningAction" -> "Beep"}}

You can set them e.g.:


CurrentValue[$FrontEnd, {"MessageOptions", "KernelMessageAction"}] = 
    {"PrintToConsole", "Beep"}

front end - keyboard shortcut to invoke Insert new matrix

I frequently need to type in some matrices, and the menu command Insert > Table/Matrix > New... allows matrices with lines drawn between columns and rows, which is very helpful. I would like to make a keyboard shortcut for it, but cannot find the relevant frontend token command (4209405) for it. Since the FullForm[] and InputForm[] of matrices with lines drawn between rows and columns is the same as those without lines, it's hard to do this via 3rd party system-wide text expanders (e.g. autohotkey or atext on mac). How does one assign a keyboard shortcut for the menu item Insert > Table/Matrix > New... , preferably using only mathematica? Thanks! Answer In the MenuSetup.tr (for linux located in the $InstallationDirectory/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/X/ directory), I changed the line MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog"] to read MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog", MenuKey["m", Modifiers-...

dynamic - How can I make a clickable ArrayPlot that returns input?

I would like to create a dynamic ArrayPlot so that the rectangles, when clicked, provide the input. Can I use ArrayPlot for this? Or is there something else I should have to use? Answer ArrayPlot is much more than just a simple array like Grid : it represents a ranged 2D dataset, and its visualization can be finetuned by options like DataReversed and DataRange . These features make it quite complicated to reproduce the same layout and order with Grid . Here I offer AnnotatedArrayPlot which comes in handy when your dataset is more than just a flat 2D array. The dynamic interface allows highlighting individual cells and possibly interacting with them. AnnotatedArrayPlot works the same way as ArrayPlot and accepts the same options plus Enabled , HighlightCoordinates , HighlightStyle and HighlightElementFunction . data = {{Missing["HasSomeMoreData"], GrayLevel[ 1], {RGBColor[0, 1, 1], RGBColor[0, 0, 1], GrayLevel[1]}, RGBColor[0, 1, 0]}, {GrayLevel[0], GrayLevel...
