Hi all,

I Just put my GFA Basic32 in the recycle bin, i moved to PureBasic completely...
GFA Basic is dead...
Purebasic is alive and is PURE power

And a have a little wishlist for Fred.

- Folding procedures , F11 toggles the procedure under the cursor, F12 toggles all procedures from cursor til end of source.
- Binary Include files compressed, accesible as file with syntax open ":filename" as........(binary include now has no compressing),real cool for making setup programs or for including bitmaps.
- Automaticly format the source with tabs, the code in loops jumps in without using tab.
- delete the line the cursor is on with CTRL-Y

See what i mean and what i'm working on at

I think this is not really needed! If you want to include compressed stuff and decompress later, you have the Pack/CrunchLib included in PureBasic! So you can pack and include the stuff to your file if you really need... My person dont want to see a include command that compress everytime all stuff... due fact, i want use my own packer i.e. - else we would back on ActionReplayIII from Amiga (ripped files where packed with own internal packer, bahhh)

Ctrl-Z and Ctrl-Y (swapped on english/german keyboard) are working like in all other win appz for Undo/ReUndo... So i dont know why we should not follow this standard...

To delete a line, you have just to mark the textpart and have to press Ctrl+X - Standard too... and this works with PureBasic too...

Dit not now this is on German qwertzu keyboards. do you have to press ctrl-y for undo/redo?
Its just, I have been using GFA Basic from 1986 on Atari , and this basic is using CTRL-Y for deleting the line.
So now i always hit ctrl-y without any result
GFA Basif is a German product, coder is Frank Ostrowski, so it was no standard those days, even in the German version wich i have here.

I still hope Fred will think about folding the procedures, this is a very great feature of an editor
My source is now 2878 lines, and it takes a long time to find my way in it.
If you ever used it, you dont want to lose it

thx,

Benny

As far as I know, the editor is just a RichEdit control, and I don't
know if it's possible to "fold" the text inside such a control.

Don't you use the drop-down navigator to find your way around? That's
what it's for...

If it is a richedit, it wil be difficult, also for automatic source formating a guess

Well...it seems i have to use the mouse for that...
Maybe i can send you the GB32 editor, if you try it, i think you like this folding also...

Mmmmmm. i guess i'm spoiled by that GB32 editor...

Gooood point is the PB programms are small, fast, and much more stable than GB32..
And no runtime needed..
And no heavy visual IDE...

Benny

No, just press F12 to open it, then use the arrow down key to select a
procedure/bookmark to go to.

I agree that folding procedures would be good, but just not really
possible at the moment.
