Birds-eye view of source

Post by BarryG »

Hi, I'd like the IDE to have an optional "birds-eye" (or summary/thumbnail/overall) view of your source, like below. See the right-hand side of the IDE. You can click any part of this view to jump to that section of code in the IDE. I especially like how it highlights the visible part of your source in it. Thanks for consideration of it.

Why not use eclipse in the first place and create a nice plugin for it to code Purebasic with it.
The english grammar is freeware, you can use it freely - But it's not Open Source, i.e. you can not change it or publish it in altered way.

Or visual studio with the purebasic plugin. Other IDEs have this feature and its rather useful.

I chose PureBasic because it is really slim and lightweight and also works as a portable application.
So I wouldn't personally switch to a code editor that doesn't have these features.

Therefore also a +1 from me for the extension of the PB IDE.

I would be happy if Fred and Freak could do an update in which they take care exclusively of the IDE.

Eclipse works fine standalone. I always install it in different directories of my home directory.

By "portable" I meant that there is no installer and the software does not write to the Windows registry or system directories.

But as I see, there is an Eclipse version on SourceForge that has been made portable (*.paf.exe), but it also has about 82 MB (about the size of the entire PB development environment).

Personally, I would still appreciate it if the feature requests were implemented natively in PB.

I'm agreed. Personally, I appreciate the lightweight of the Purebasic editor (Eclipse and other environments are very slow on computers with few resources).
