manim-helper README

emulates Grant Sanderson's sublime text workflow

Usage

• Shift+Alt+R = run scene at the current line using the manimgl command
• Alt+R = checkpoint_paste()
• Ctrl+Alt+R = checkpoint_paste(skip=True) (runs code without animating)
• Alt+E = exit

Features

• almost everything described in the readme of 3b1b's videos repo
• doing checkpoint_paste() commands automatically copies code from last comment so you don't need to select manually
• super is replaced with shift tho

Requirements

• manimgl (3b1b's, not community edition)
  • git clone https://github.com/3b1b/manim.git
  • cd manim
  • pip install .

Extension Settings

Known Issues

• the cursor doesn't move back to the editor after doing the manimRunScene command
• things can go weird if you leave multiple terminals named manimgl open - make sure to close all of them before running a new scene
• recording/saving to file doesn't work
