Alternative editor for Pure Basic

The next version of PB (Windows) will have some bug fixes in the
editor.

My application (>2000 lines) does not work with the actual editor any more, as
there is a color mismatch in the source code and the code is no longer
editable.

Now I have tried "ConText" (Freeware Text Editor), that can be configured for
Pure Basic inclusively Compiler and Debugger support. Moreover I have written
a syntax highlighter for Pure Basic so that all Keywords are displayed
in predefined colors.
My application now works correctly.

If somebody has the problems with the PB-Editor too, perhaps ConText (available in different languages) will help.

It isn't ready yet as I implemented the Keywords of PB that are listed in the
index of the Refernece Manual that is not complete indeed.

Where can I upload the syntax file?

Is there a way to compile and launch PB code through ConTEXT ??
It looks like there is but I can't get it to work.

By the way, great work on the Syntax file Cantor !

Thanks.
It's quite easy.
Configure ConText as follows:

1.) Select Options/Environment Options from Menu
2.) Select Panel "Execute Keys"
3.) Select "Add" under the Listview.
4.) Fill in "pb" in the string gadget "Enter extensions seperated with commas"
5.) Click on "F9" in the Listview
6.) Insert the path of Your PB-Compiler into the "Execute"-Stringgadget,
for example "C:\Program Files\PureBasic\Compilers\PBCompiler.exe"
7.) Insert "%n /DEBUGGER" into the "Parameters"-Stringgadget
8.) Activate the OptionGadget "Capture Console Output".
9.) Close Window by clicking "OK"

Now You can copile Your PB-Code by clicking the "User Command 1"-Gadget in the Toolbar or by pressing F9.

Have Fun.

Ooops, thanks Mr.Skunk

And thank you Cantor for the detailed instructions. I had missed the "Capture Console Output".

Well... back to coding

I hope You aren't angry about that I mentioned the use of ConText, but it works very well with PB.

Does anyone know how to set more than 10 bookmarks in ConText and how to fold parts of the source code that not all code is visible?
