PureBasic Forums - English

Already proposed in the german forum a while ago:

Unfortunately the procedure panel works only in one direction.
If you click on a procedure entry, the cursor jumps instantaneously to the related procedure in source.
But if you scroll around in your sourcecode the last procedure panel entry remains highlighted, even if the cursor is in another procedure.

Very anoing if you use a small netbook display where the procedures usually are longer than the displays height and if you have very much procedures in your code.

It would be fine, if the procedure panels active entry would show the current procedure in which the cursor is.

That would be annoying, as I need to jump to certain procedures all the time and these procedures are at the end of my code; so if the cursor position changed the browser, then I'd have to scroll down to the end of the browser all the time just to click a procedure name. Right now I can leave the browser where it is and quickly click a name without scrolling to it first.

Ups I already posted to a similar topic. Oh oh, amnesia.

Regarding your objection because of the scrolling of the procedure panel (browser): I think this is the smalles evil.
What about a checkbox in the IDE settings to switch between the old and the new behavoir of the procedure panel?

yes, thats realy essential. the connection between cursorposition in the code and highlighted item in the procedurelist are so naturally for my old and crippled brain, that i always have problems to check, that this is not the same.

Any chance to get this in one of the next releases?
I suppose it is an important feature (if configurable) for many users.

Yes, I also think it's a good idea to add this as an option.

I miss this behavior from Visual Studio.
