What we lack in the IDE PB

[NikitaOdnorob98]

I'm sure many would like to change anything in the standard IDE PureBasic, well, or something to add. On the Russian forum, we have made this list (http://purebasic.info/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2356):

• Highlight the selected copies, as in Notepad ++:
  
• Search not only for help but the forums (with Google)
• Support for compiling pure assembler (FASM, MASM)
• Compiling the project from its files. When you turn on file in the project through XIncludeFile (and similar), then compile the project from the included file is not in him. You have to switch to the source, which contains inclusions and compile it.

1) Yes that would be nice, but only if you can switch it on and off - cos sometimes it does my head in!
2) In http://forums.purebasic.com/german/viewtopic.php?t=4566 ts-soft wrote a widget for searching MSDN from the IDE - it could easily be adapted to search this forum instead.

4) Use a project file, add all the included sources to the project file and set "Input source file:" in the compiler options for the project to the main source file. Then you can compile the main source from any member source in the project. See "Help\The PureBasic IDE\Managing projects".

There is an editor tool to do this (good feature request):
- PB IDE Smart Highlight (showing selected text) implementation

• Keyboard shortcut Ctrl+H to show a Find/Replace dialog with a "Replace with" checkbox ticked
• Additional option "Search in all opened documents" for the Find/Replace dialog
  
• Smart highlighting of items in Procedures tab of ToolsPanel depending on the cursor position:
  • 1st state: User clicked on item in Procedures tab of ToolsPanel. As a result cursor was set on the related line in Editor window (current behaviour).
  • 2nd state: User moved a cursor to line #29 in Editor. As a result related item in Procedures was highlighted.
  • 3rd state: User moved a cursor to the line in between two related items. As a result both of items in Procedures were highlighted.
  • 4th state: User moved a cursor to line #36 in Editor. As a result related item in Procedures was highlighted.
