Open Highlighted File

Got an idea for enhancing PureBasic? New command(s) you'd like to see?

Open Highlighted File

Post by IdeasVacuum »

A nice feature of Ultra Edit is that you can highlight a file (full path) anywhere in your code, then right-mouse open. Easy to impliment and a nice time saver (though obviously not a priority).

+1

It would be nice to have this in the right-click menu.


In the meantime, it could be added with a keystroke shortcut without much trouble either.

I just found from another post that you can load an XIncludeFile into the Editor by double-clicking XIncludeFile (provided the full path is there). That of course doesn't help with any other filepath in the code, but it is very handy (if you remember it!).

:shock: I think overall the UltraEdit method is best because it is consistent but no harm done if PB could support both since at the moment only XIncludeFile and IncludeFile paths work.
