Efficiently select from a list of front end objects
ResourceFunction["SelectByCurrentValue"][{obj1,obj2,…},key] gives a list of the obji where CurrentValue[obji,key] would yield True. | |
ResourceFunction["SelectByCurrentValue"][{obj1,obj2,…},key,func] gives a list of the obji where func[CurrentValue[obji,key]] would yield True. |
NotebookObject[…] | a currently open notebook |
CellObject[…] | a cell in an open notebook |
BoxObject[…] | a particular box in a cell |
$FrontEndSession | an object representing settings for the current front end session |
$FrontEnd | an object representing global settings for the front end |
Select all the evaluatable cells in the current notebook:
In[1]:= | ![]() |
Out[1]= | ![]() |
Find cells with a large font size:
In[2]:= | ![]() |
Out[2]= | ![]() |
Get only the notebooks that are currently visible:
In[3]:= | ![]() |
Out[3]= | ![]() |
In[4]:= | ![]() |
Out[4]= | ![]() |
Lists can be used to specify nested values:
In[5]:= | ![]() |
Out[5]= | ![]() |
Select notebooks by values of TaggingRules:
In[6]:= | ![]() |
Out[6]= | ![]() |
In[7]:= | ![]() |
Out[7]= | ![]() |
In[8]:= | ![]() |
The given list can contain a mixture of front end object types:
In[9]:= | ![]() |
Out[9]= | ![]() |
In[10]:= | ![]() |
Out[10]= | ![]() |
In[11]:= | ![]() |
Out[11]= | ![]() |
CurrentValue reports some values as Automatic:
In[12]:= | ![]() |
Out[12]= | ![]() |
In[13]:= | ![]() |
Out[13]= | ![]() |
Set Absolute→True to use AbsoluteCurrentValue instead:
In[14]:= | ![]() |
Out[14]= | ![]() |
In[15]:= | ![]() |
Out[15]= | ![]() |
Find cells in the current notebook that have been modified in the past 60 seconds:
In[16]:= | ![]() |
Out[15]= | ![]() |
View the contents of the cells:
In[17]:= | ![]() |
Out[17]= | ![]() |
SelectByCurrentValue is typically much faster than using Select with CurrentValue:
In[18]:= | ![]() |
Out[18]= | ![]() |
In[19]:= | ![]() |
Out[19]= | ![]() |
In[20]:= | ![]() |
Out[20]= | ![]() |
In[21]:= | ![]() |
Some objects inherit values from their parent object, even when not a valid option for that object type:
In[22]:= | ![]() |
Out[22]= | ![]() |
In[23]:= | ![]() |
Out[23]= | ![]() |
In[24]:= | ![]() |
Out[24]= | ![]() |
Save the corresponding BoxObject for each Dynamic expression in a list:
In[25]:= | ![]() |
Out[25]= | ![]() |
In[26]:= | ![]() |
Out[26]= | ![]() |
Get the boxes:
In[27]:= | ![]() |
Out[27]= | ![]() |
Enlarge the green ones:
In[28]:= | ![]() |
Out[28]= | ![]() |
In[29]:= | ![]() |
Create a dynamic search filter for a notebook:
In[30]:= | ![]() |
In[31]:= | ![]() |
In[32]:= | ![]() |
Out[29]= | ![]() |
In[33]:= | ![]() |
Out[33]= | ![]() |
Do a brute-force search for boxes that have a specific property:
In[34]:= | ![]() |
Out[34]= | ![]() |
In[35]:= | ![]() |
Out[31]= | ![]() |
In[36]:= | ![]() |
Out[36]= | ![]() |
In[37]:= | ![]() |
Out[37]= | ![]() |
