[WISH]IDE; Tool "Procedure Browser"; Tree;

[HanPBF]

Hello,

I use one file for as so many procedures so that the list got a scrollbar and is difficult to handle (finding the procs).

What I know:
- I can group procs into other files
-The list is sorted -> great
- Ctrl-l jumps back in the source
- use "Source Code Pro" to distinct L and i for lower case letters
- mouse wheel seems not to work in procedure browser even when click into (maybe by design?)

If possible for many procedures a tree view would be nice.

- the leveling is enough for one level only
- it could be auto levelled by grouping first matching letters

Example:
- init
Gadget
ListGadget
GridGadget

- new
ListGadget
Gridgadget

To clarify, the procedures would be:
initGadget
initListGadget
initGridGadget
newListGadget
newGridGadget

See also the software "Syncovery"; they do it in their scheduler list.


Thanks!

You can code PB using practically any IDE you choose (I use: UltraEdit)

No matter how many features the team adds to the PB IDE, it will never please all of the people all of the time because we all have a different view on what is best - so often, it is far better to choose a 3rd party IDE, especially so if you program in more than one language. I'd much rather the guys spent their time adding/improving PB functionality.

Hello IdeasVacuum,

o.k.

And sounds a little bit like those, of course not very important, ideas should not be posted here?
Maybe decorating title with [PRIO8] or [MINOR]?
Or is tagging avail in this forum?

Btw, how do You get the auto complete in UltraEdit?
Is there a ctags file available?

Beside some minor lacking features I like the PB IDE.


Thanks for commenting!

Is this a recent development?

Hello HanPBF - certainly not, this is the feature requests and wish list section and everyone can post exactly that.

I have always found auto complete to be hugely annoying, so I'm not sure if Ultra Edit does or not - it's probably a yes, download the free trial and try it. It has very nice syntax highlighting and Ultra Edit Users have contributed syntax files for every language you could think of.
