Can we have a single character alias for DEBUG?
like ' or `
I use Debug a lot and it's kinda silly to type 5 letters each and every time.
Probably the same for the parser?
REM was collapsed to ';' so why not DEBUG?

I promise I'll add others.


Thanks,
...just another VB castaway requesting permission to come aboard.

Freak'd again! and so quickly!

Thanks that works for me.
But I cannot substitute any other char's in place of the '_' in the Macro?

I was hoping the '_' would be reserved for line continuation.
That's why I suggested ` or '.

just just another valid character: 'D' ?

do you need API in the Autocomplete?
if not, Debug is the first entry in "de".
this reduces the number of keys to type to three:
type "de"+TAB, and the space after Debug is also already there.

I have API in my Autocomplete, but I'm doin fine with "deb"+TAB

Ah, Fred.
Didn't think to insert a letter. I thought that would confuse me since I sometimes use 'D' as a variable. So I am good with '_' until you add line continuation character.

Thanks KG, but the macro works for me. Just stick it in a "common.pb" and load with Project.

Can I still leave the request in to collapse 'DEBUG'?

Apologize if this has been asked before? More VB6 IDE sadness...
Probably just "old dog...new tricks", but this is really slowing me down in converting and editing code in PB.

1. If my cursor is on a variable or procedure or keyword...
Hit Shift-[F2] and the IDE jumps to either that variable's definition or procedure declare.

PB's equivalent [Ctrl]-DblClk only works for procedures.
Can we add variables and constants* too?

*Why doesn't the [F1] key jump to the Constant definition and its value?
As a new user, I don't have all the internal constants memorized(not to mention ones I create) and it would be great to jump back and forth.

2. Searching is good in one direction with [F3].
Why can't I reverse the search order with Shift-[F3]?

3. Are there Macros for the IDE that we can customize?
I did see external tools mentioned on the forum, but hesitate to go there yet.
