Suggestion -- Run last compile with F6

[syntax error]

I tend to use a variety includes when developing.
All of which I load up into the IDE ...


PB EDITOR
[main code][gui][constants][subs]

Now, let's suppose I choose [main code] and hit F5 to run.
No problem. If I wish to change something in the subs though I need to click the [subs] tab, edit the code, save modifications, click back to [main code] then F5 to re-test.

As you can imagine, this is a little bit of a chore.

So, how about F6 to 'Run last compiled code' ?

What this would do is simply run the [main code] (that is, the last code lauched with F5) and leave the IDE as is.
So, if I'm ammending the [subs] I can just save and F6 to test.

What about F8?

Because jaPBe use now:
F5 Compile without Debugger
F6 Compile with Debugger (for IDE: Toggle Debugger?)
F7 Create Executable

Avoid keys near to each other.
You should know how often i press F5 and 6 together.
In another editor i delete rest of line with it then F5 also works but does saves contents first.
Undo is impossible then..

F8 sounds good. In fact any way to do this sounds good!

I use syntax error's approach.

I often run a modded include instead of going back to the main prog. And then spend a moment wondering what happened. So this would really be great for the absent-minded and easily confused types like me.

Perhaps this would also refocus or tab back to the code being run? A very visual advice of what is actually being done.

I often run a modded include instead of going back to the main prog.

Btw: in jaPBe you can set a mainfile. So when you compile a include the mainfile is compiled.

Aha.

Okay, found that option. Thanks!
