Additional IDE enhacement...

[Dräc]

The IDE is more and more impressive!
Many improvements have been done on it, like the essential one “auto-save before Compil/Run”.

But, I would like to know if you think, Freak, that the following list of features (expected also by other than me, ref. previous posts) should be implemented sooner or later, and in the end soon?

- Highlighting of parenthesis/bracket balance (useful, not?)
- Display of the functions definition of all open files (actually limited to those of the current file)
- Enhancement of the syntax highlighting options:
> specification of font style (Bold, italic)
> distinction between PB procedures and Personal procedures
> various styles of comments (yes, I like them with flowers!)
> distinction of the debugger keywords (event if now the debugger is embedded)
> distinction of the structures types: I propose, like jaPBe, the possibility of emphasizing the variables type independently of the variables themself.
- Detection of folding comment keywords at the end of a code line (i.e keywords starting with ";")
- Reporting (sound) if a new variable is created (avoid mistake during coding)

[Dräc]

In addition :
- Allowing to split the active window into panes
- Displaying the code of two different files (thought the tool panel for example)

Sounds like you are just describing jaPBe... why not use that instead ?

I have a number of improvements planned, but just trying to imitate jaPBe is not the plan.
If you want all the jaPBe features... just use it

[Dräc]

You are right, those features are available into jaPBe.
I make no secret of it!
But if there are goods, why no to be inspired by?

I don’t tell you to clone jaPBe or to ask you to do them, as much that for me, there isn’t a competition between the two editors.

Simply, I just like to know if any of the presented features are on your planning or not… no more: it is the right side of my question.

I would like to know if you think, Freak, that the following list of features (expected also by other than me, ref. previous posts) should be implemented sooner or later

Moreover, I admit the two following are cosmetics ones

- Detection of folding comment keywords at the end of a code line (i.e keywords starting with ";")
- Reporting (sound) if a new variable is created (avoid mistake during coding)

but I don’t think that is the case of the other ones.
For example, splitting active window is already available on many editors.
It is quite local to ask the question, no?

What I am interesting in, is to have your opinion on them, not to read "use jaPBe", because I know that.

Please, don’t take the wrong direction with my request...

- Detection of folding comment keywords at the end of a code line (i.e keywords starting with ";")

This allready works. There may not be a space between ; and the word though.
A folding word like ";START" is possible.

These are generally planed. If they will all be done in the next release i do not know:

- Highlighting of parenthesis/bracket balance (useful, not?)
- Display of the functions definition of all open files (actually limited to those of the current file)
> specification of font style (Bold, italic)
- Allowing to split the active window into panes

I can't see beyond the end of my nose! I have been using ;{ and ;} and never ever thought to try things like ;SECTION ;Description and ;End

Thanks Freak.

[Dräc]

Thanks Freak.

For the ‘;’ at the end of the line : my mistake !

[Dräc]

Since the IDE from PB 4.10, the dev environment is more pleasant!
I love the Custom Keyword feature.
Thanks again (with delay)

Just a precision: by saying “specification of font style”, I mean that's available for any king of token from the code, especially for type (native or from structure).
Is it your understanding? :roll:

An additional wish:

The possibility to replace a string in the range of all open files.
