(IDE-Tool) Google-Search selected keyword
-> Point the cursor to a PB- or API-Keyword and hit Alt + F1
-> If no PB- or API-Keyword is selected & Alt + F1 = Config
Alt.[F1]v0.62.zip (vt:1/67)
. v0.6.2 (2017-11-28)
- fixed: bug opening .ini file
- fixed: tooltip render issue
. v0.6.1 (2017-11-27)
- UI and search algorithm modernized
. v0.5.0.4
- fixed: deprecated "I´m feeling Lucky" (Google) function (bug reported by Kurzer... thx:)
- fixed: deprecated googleExt (Google Code Search)
- fixed: focus rectangle visibility
- added: ability to search purebasic.com/... or purebasic.fr/...
. v0.5.0.3
- fixed: #WM_USER & co. -> API (bug reported by c4s... thx:)
- added: ability to search only the french forum
- added: custom search now allows multiple entries (separate with a comma)
. v0.5.0.2
- added: multipage - search on 2 sites simultaneously (on non-tabbed webbrowser you have to use the "back" button)
- added: googleExt - use google´s new codesearch feature for API functions (multipage behavior)
- added: extended - use keywords to specify searchresults ( +donald -duck OR "mickey mouse" )
. v0.5.0.1

Well, the idea is good, but the program... not so good.
I wanted to search for "beep_", placed the cursor onto it and pressed Alt+F1...
Look, where your program lead me to:
Spoiler (click me)
And where can I click "OK" to save my settings? Evrytime I start your program, I click "msdn.microsoft.com" and "purebasic.fr (english+german)", but next time I start your program, it forgets this setting.

thx for the feedback...
beep_ & co should be fixed now
there is no need for a save button... stores in registry (HKLM/Software/Alt.[F1])
works nice on xp... maybe it´s a vista bug??? -> wip
cheers, chi

Not a vista bug. HKLM requires admin-privilege, also on XP, but most
XP users a admin, the loves spyware

Registry keys aren't easily backed up and its use has been discouraged since Vista was released.

changing from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Alt.[F1] -> to -> HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VirtualStore\Machine\Software\Alt.[F1]
wont fix my problem, right?
so whats the best solution to save 4 little strings for my app
sorry to bother you, but i don´t have vista installed (nor do friends of mine)
and so i can´t reproduce this problem..
thx, chi

You can use HKEY_CURRENT_USER without admin-privileg, but better use
the preference lib and store the prefs in APPDATA

Nice addon!
The only thing I don't understand is how it distinguishs between Api and PureBasic.
A few examples:
1) SendMessage_() -> Api
2) IsGadget() -> PB
3) #PB_Ascii -> PB
4) #WM_USER -> PB, not good
I think you should change it that every word with "#PB_" at the beginning or "(" at the end is PureBasic and just "#" at the beginning and "_(" at the end is Api.
So it would be nice if you could fix this.

I liked your tool, Chi, and hope you don't mind that I borrowed / stole the idea added similar functionality to
CodeCaddy... but hey, you're mentioned
