     • Note that these are the basic defaults (see extended docs for more)

   def initPost(obj, clippy):
       clippy.state.output_file_name = "clippy_2.org"
       clippy.state.efficiency_symbol = "*"
       clippy.state.max_pad_efficiency = 5
       clippy.state.max_pad_english = 15
       clippy.state.justify = "left"
       clippy.state.last_num_translations = 10
   

   • output_file_name: name of the output file, directory location will default to config directory
   • efficiency_symbol: any one character symbol used to denote how many strokes can be saved
   • max_pad_efficiency: the maximum number of efficiency symbols that are allowed to be displayed
   • max_pad_english: the maximum amount of space padding for English translations
   • justify: add white space either "left" or "right" to the output
   • last_num_translations: these number of translations are used to give suggestions
   • note: initPost executes after this plugin initializes itself

           ["Org", {"mode": "defaultSuggest"}]
           # ["Org", {"mode": "debugSuggest"}]
           # ["Org", {"mode": "minimalSuggest"}]

Multiple configurations

• In this plugin it is possible to use multiple configurations to do crazy things like:
  • multifile output, each with different configurations
    • for example one file could have syntax highlighting and the other doesn't
  • become a framework for other text output programs like tapey-tape (maybe in the future)
• see extended docs for more information
